Can someone tell me if the Leon's have the Auto door Lock feature, so that when you go over a certain speed the doors lock.
Thanks

i believe its called anti-hijack feature,all doors lock after 15mph is reached,doors can,t be opened from outside until either switch in central console is pressed(the one with the pic of a key) or ignition key is removed.can be opened from inside though
 
My FR does this as above, but I found it strange that they have both this auto-lock feature as well as the "require double click to unlock all doors" feature. My previous Golf had the latter but it seems redundant to make you click the remote twice when the doors are all just going to be locked as soon as you move off anyway. I disabled the double-click using the MFD options (I have Bluetooth) and now just need one click to unlock all doors.
One thing I still haven't got used to is if I need to stop somewhere to attend to my daughter in her car seat on the back passenger side, I invariably forget to press the unlock button and end up having to come back round to unlock her door! ;)

but the double click to unlock all the doors is another security feature , its mainly there for women or people who would feel vunerable , people who park in dark car parks or bad areas ect , so when they approach their car only the drivers door unlocks.
 
OK, I can kinda see the point in that then. I'd always thought the single-click to unlock just the drivers door was to prevent someone hopping in or stealing something while stopped at lights or whatever (covered by the lock-when-moving thing) - hadn't considered the dark car park scenario.
