Southeast DX3's automatic wipers failure may be caused by a malfunction of the vehicle's wiper motor; the sensor of the automatic wipers; the automatic wiper switch; or the wiper wiring harness. Below are the relevant details: 1. Automatic Wipers: Automatic wipers can detect the size of raindrops through a rain sensor and automatically adjust the wiper speed, providing the driver with a clear view, thereby greatly enhancing convenience and safety during rainy conditions. 2. Working Process: When the sensor detects raindrops on the windshield, it sends a command to the wipers to start working, clearing the rainwater from the front windshield and ensuring the driver's unobstructed view. At the same time, it also sends a command to automatically close the vehicle's electric windows and sunroof to prevent the interior from getting wet.

I've experienced the automatic wipers malfunctioning several times on my SouEast DX3. There are usually several reasons for this. The most common one is when the rain sensor surface is covered with dust or dirt, causing it to fail to detect raindrops during rainfall and automatically stop working. Another possible issue could be with the wiring, such as a short circuit or blown fuse, which cuts off power supply and prevents the wipers from functioning. There's also the possibility of a faulty control module - last time with my car, it was a module failure, and the repair shop said it needed a system refresh due to a software bug. I recommend first trying to clean the sensor yourself by gently wiping the small black dot on the inside of the windshield with a soft cloth. If that doesn't help, you should visit a professional shop to check the circuit and fuses. Driving in rainy conditions is too dangerous to ignore this problem, and regular maintenance can prevent many such issues.

Can Car Seats Be Replaced?

Car seats can be replaced. However, considerations must be made regarding the size of the seat and whether the screw hole positions are suitable. Car seats can be categorized by shape into split seats and bench seats, by function into fixed, removable, and adjustable seats, and by passenger capacity into single, double, and multi-passenger seats. Car seats provide drivers and passengers with convenient, comfortable, and safe driving and seating positions. They should meet the following conditions: 1. The arrangement of seats within the entire cabin should be reasonable, especially the driver's seat, which must be in the optimal position; 2. The design of the seat must conform to human physiological functions, striving for aesthetics while ensuring comfort; 3. The seat must be safe and reliable, with sufficient strength, stiffness, and durability, compact in structure, and with minimized weight as much as possible; 4. Various adjustment mechanisms set for the comfort of drivers and passengers should have reliable locking devices to ensure safety.

Where is the best place to install a dash cam?

A dash cam is best installed behind the upper center rearview mirror on the front windshield of the vehicle. For the dash cam, this position provides a wider field of view, a larger shooting angle, and broader coverage, without distracting the driver. It is important to ensure that the lens is within the range of the windshield wipers to guarantee clear recording during rainy weather. For rearview mirror dash cams, they can be directly mounted on the original rearview mirror, but make sure they are securely fastened to prevent falling. Precautions for installing a dash cam: 1. Pay attention to the length of the power cord and remember to purchase a memory card; 2. Install it in a reasonable position without obstructing the view; 3. Wrap the power cord around the rearview mirror a few times to prevent it from coming loose; 4. Tuck any excess power cord into the headliner gap.
