2 Answers
Haval H6 needs to warm up. Precautions about warming up: Correct method of warming up: After starting the car, wait for about 30 seconds to a minute before driving slowly. Hazards of not warming up: If you rush to drive, it will increase the load on the engine and cause unnecessary wear. Hazards of rushing to drive: When driving at high speeds, the engine speed should not exceed 2000 rpm. Otherwise, the severe wear on the engine and transmission may cause serious damage. Purpose of warming up: It allows sufficient time for lubrication of various components in the engine and transmission, thereby improving their service life.
Over the years driving my Haval H6, I never idle for too long to warm up the engine. After starting, I usually wait about 15 seconds—just enough time to fasten the seatbelt and adjust the seat—then slowly drive off. The engine warms up more evenly while moving at low speeds, saving both fuel and time. The manual also recommends avoiding prolonged idling to prevent carbon buildup and fuel waste. In winter, I might wait an extra 30 seconds for the defogger to kick in. Bottom line: modern cars like the Haval H6 SUV are designed to warm up while driving—smooth, eco-friendly operation beats outdated idling myths.
