Is the battery of your Seat Leon flat? Here’s how to replace it. Open the car door and pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the bonnet, disengaging the locking lever with your fingers, and secure it. Remove the cover, unscrew the battery terminal securing bolts, then remove the battery from the engine compartment and replace it with a new one (same voltage).
