Can the steering wheel of Haval H6 be adjusted if it's too heavy?
3 Answers
Haval H6 models equipped with mechanical hydraulic power steering systems cannot have their steering wheels adjusted; models with electric power steering systems can have their steering wheels adjusted. Steering wheel adjustment requires a visit to a 4S shop, though generally cars with electric power steering systems already have relatively light steering wheels. The Haval H6 is positioned as an urban intelligent SUV, with dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Haval H6 features a real-time four-wheel drive system, characterized by its use of a unibody construction, which helps reduce vehicle weight for improved fuel efficiency and offers better ride comfort.
I've been driving the Haval H6 for a while now, and the issue of heavy steering is indeed common, but whether it can be adjusted depends on the specific cause. The Haval H6 uses an electric power steering system, which should normally feel light and responsive. If it feels heavy, there might be a problem with the power assist module, such as unstable voltage or a software bug. Unlike mechanical power steering, this system can't simply be adjusted for resistance. I've experienced a similar issue myself—after taking it to a 4S shop for inspection, they found a loose connection in the power assist motor. Tightening and recalibrating it fixed the problem. If it's still under warranty, getting it resolved for free is even more convenient. Additionally, checking tire pressure is crucial—low tire pressure can make the steering feel heavier. For safety reasons, don’t attempt to adjust it yourself; the steering system is critical for control, and tampering with it carries significant risks. I recommend getting it professionally diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid the strain and danger while driving.
After using my Haval H6 for three years, I was quite worried when the steering wheel suddenly became heavy. Generally speaking, this is related to a fault in the power steering system. The electric power steering in Haval is usually very responsive, but if it becomes heavy, it might be due to a malfunction in the power steering pump or control unit. You can't directly adjust the resistance value; you need to take it to a 4S shop or repair center to check if parts need replacement or a software update is required. I also checked the wheel alignment and tire pressure—if they're low, it can increase the burden. I remember during one maintenance session, the technician found wear in the suspension, which indirectly affected the steering. It's better to address it quickly, as driving with unresponsive steering daily can increase fatigue. If possible, check the tire pressure (the standard value is around 2.3-2.5 bar), or let the experts handle it directly—don't delay.
