How to activate the emergency start for Haval H6?

Haval H6 emergency start requires pressing the knob-style switch housing with two fingers to remove it, then extracting the mechanical key and inserting it into the keyhole to rotate. Below is some related information about the Haval H6: Vehicle Dimensions: The Haval H6 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4653mm in length, 1886mm in width, 1730mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2738mm. Vehicle Configuration: The Haval H6 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 325 N·m. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.

Since driving the Haval H6, I've encountered several emergency start situations, mainly using the jump-start method when the battery was dead: first, park the car steadily and turn off all electrical devices, ensuring a safe distance; prepare the jumper cables, attach the red clamp to the Haval H6 battery's positive terminal (under the hood with a plus sign label), and the other end to the rescue car's positive terminal; attach the black clamp to the rescue car's negative terminal, and the other end to a bare metal part of the Haval H6's body (avoid clamping to the battery's negative terminal to prevent sparks); start the rescue car's engine and wait for about 5 minutes to stabilize the power transfer; then press the Haval H6's brake and try the start button, once started, let it idle for 15 minutes to charge. Although this method is effective, incorrect operation might blow fuses or damage wires, so it's best to carry a portable jump starter for emergencies. I always make it a habit to regularly check the battery's condition to prevent failures.

As a long-term owner of the Haval H6, I believe emergency starting depends on the root cause of the problem: if the key is out of battery, the smart key has a hidden small button to pop out the mechanical key. Open the front left door, place the key in the induction slot of the center console armrest (sometimes near the start button), press the brake firmly, and then press the engine start button. In case the car battery is dead, I prefer using jumper cables, connecting the positive terminal and the grounding point for a quick fix, but make sure the rescue vehicle doesn't stall. After starting, don't leave immediately; let it run for a while to recharge. This design avoids panic during a breakdown—I keep a multi-channel charger in the car, as prevention is better than cure.

The Haval H6's emergency start is actually quite intelligent, mainly addressing situations when the smart key system fails: If the key battery is low, use the mechanical key to open the door, place the key in the designated induction area (usually under the center console or in a corner of the dashboard), then press the brake to start the engine. However, if the vehicle's power is completely cut off, you'll need to use jumper cables, ensuring correct connection for power transfer. I recommend regularly replacing the key battery to minimize such issues, as modern cars' high electronic integration can turn minor faults into major problems.
