With the advent of the electronic handbrake, to replace the brake pads on the Seat Leon (as with all other cars), you need to deactivate the electronic locking system.

There are several available, and to access them, simply connect your mobile phone to the car via Bluetooth and open the application. From the app's list, select "Start Brake Pad Change Mode" or similar titles. The operation will take 20-30 seconds to complete.
