How to solve the problem of the electric windows of the Seat Leon that have stopped working

Model: Seat Leon MK 3, 5F - Years 2012-2019
Part: Side window

Let's see how to reset electric windows and mirrors. The problem of their malfunction is often caused by a loss of calibration of the system, especially after the windows have encountered resistance (such as ice in winter, for example). This reset must be done on all four windows. Press the switch to lower the window all the way down; keep the button pressed for 5 seconds, after the window is completely lowered. Now raise the window all the way up and keep the switch pressed with the window raised, for 5 seconds. Repeat the procedure for all windows; often this procedure also solves the malfunction of automatic rearview mirrors.
