If the car seats have seat covers, remove them immediately because the covers are not breathable and can easily cause the wet seats to develop mold. For leather seats, simply wipe them clean. After the seats are soaked by rain, you can use cleaning products to wash them and then wipe them dry. You can turn on the car's heater to raise the temperature inside the cabin, which helps dry the wet car seats. Frequently open the car windows to maintain ventilation inside the cabin, using natural air drying to blow-dry the wet seats. If the seats are severely soaked, remove them and place them in a ventilated area or under sunlight to dry, which will speed up the drying process.

I've been driving for over 20 years and often encounter wet car seats. First, use a large dry towel to repeatedly press firmly to absorb the water—avoid rubbing back and forth. Then immediately open all windows for ventilation. If possible, remove the seat cushion and lay it in a shaded area to air dry. I prefer using an industrial fan to blow directly at the seat, which works better than a hairdryer, and place some bamboo charcoal bags to absorb moisture. If the weather is humid, remember to turn on the air conditioning in dehumidification mode to blow on the seats. Finally, check for any remaining water stains to prevent mold or leather cracking. It's practical to keep a few spare towels in the car trunk to prepare for unexpected situations.

What does the ABS indicator light mean?

ABS indicator light indicates a problem with the ABS system (Anti-lock Braking System). Possible causes include faults in wheel speed sensors, ABS wiring, ABS pump, pressure control solenoid valves, ABS computer and other components. When the ABS system malfunctions, it may lead to reduced braking effectiveness, increased braking distance, and poorer handling performance during braking. Therefore, when this warning light appears, it is recommended to have it inspected and repaired, and minimize driving. ABS is an improved technology based on conventional braking systems, which can be divided into mechanical and electronic types. The ABS system not only maintains the braking function of conventional systems but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the vehicle to maintain steering capability during braking, ensuring directional stability and preventing skidding or deviation.
