Does the airbag light being on in the Haval H6 have any impact?

Generally, there is no impact. Reasons for the airbag light being on in the Haval H6: 1. Check the connectors: One of the connectors in the airbag system may be disconnected or have poor contact, which is also the most frequent cause of this issue. Check the connection status of all connectors (yellow connectors), and reconnect each one. It is best to wrap a layer of black tape around the connectors for reinforcement. If other electrical devices have been installed in the car or the steering wheel has been disassembled, pay special attention to the connection status of the connectors in those areas. 2. Loose grounding wire somewhere in the car: Check the contact status of all grounding wires. Usually, poor contact cannot be seen with the naked eye, so the best method is to tighten all grounding wire connections. Other possible reasons may include faults in components such as the collision sensor or airbag control module. This involves replacing related parts, but the probability of such faults is actually very low. If the car has been involved in a collision before, this aspect should be considered for inspection.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for six or seven years and have seen the airbag light come on several times. When this light comes on, you must take it seriously—it means there's a fault in the airbag system. Last week, when my neighbor's kid was sitting in the passenger seat, the light came on, and I immediately pulled over in fear. Just thinking about it now gives me chills—if the airbag fails to deploy during a collision, hitting your head directly on the steering wheel would be disastrous. Common causes of this issue include loose sensor connectors under the seat or a faulty clock spring in the steering wheel. I know quite a few fellow drivers who have experienced the sensor connector getting kicked loose. When washing your car, avoid using a high-pressure water jet directly under the seats, as it can lead to water ingress and corrosion of the connectors. If the light comes on, take your car to a 4S店 immediately to diagnose the trouble code with a scanner—trying to fix it yourself might make things worse. Road safety should always come first—don't wait until an accident happens to regret it.
