Haval H6 handbrake adjustment method: 1. Open the center console and locate the cover inside; 2. Remove the cover and adjust the central nut to 8-9 threads. Taking the 2021 Haval H6 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of 4615mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1720mm in height, a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, and a curb weight of 1675kg. The 2021 Haval H6 features MacPherson strut front suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine delivering 150PS maximum horsepower, 110kW maximum power, and 210Nm maximum torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've adjusted the handbrake on my Haval H6 a few times, and here's a simple guide for you. After parking, turning off the engine, and pulling the handbrake, if you find the car still rolls even when the handbrake is fully engaged, it's likely time for an adjustment. First, pry open the small cover behind the front armrest to access the handbrake cable adjustment screw. Use a 12mm wrench to loosen the locknut counterclockwise a bit, then turn the adjustment nut clockwise. While adjusting, step out of the car periodically to test the handbrake's tension by pulling it. Adjust until you feel the lever is tight enough at about 7 clicks. Finally, secure the locknut. After adjustment, it's essential to test the car on a slope; ideally, the slope should be over 15 degrees to ensure the handbrake holds properly.
