2 Answers
Haval H6 steering wheel lock release method: you can hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it, while simultaneously turning the key with your right hand to unlock it. Below are the detailed steps: 1. First, insert the key and press the brake, then turn the steering wheel left and right. 2. Although the steering wheel is in a locked state at this time, it can still be slightly turned a little when you try to steer. 3. While turning the steering wheel, turn the key to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure. If you are not familiar with this, it may not succeed the first time, but don't worry. Remove the key and repeat the above steps 1-2 times, and you should be able to unlock it successfully. 4. If the vehicle is equipped with a one-key start function, the steps are basically the same as above, except for the step of inserting the key. First, press the brake, then turn the steering wheel left and right, and finally press the start button to start the car.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for two or three years and have encountered the steering wheel locking up several times, mainly due to the wheels not being straightened when parking. The anti-theft design automatically locks the steering wheel to prevent car theft. The solution is to gently try turning the steering wheel left and right while inserting and turning the key to unlock it, applying less force to avoid damaging the lock cylinder. If it still doesn't work, it might be due to a depleted key battery or battery issues, as the electronic system of the Haval H6 can sometimes respond slowly. It's advisable to park on level ground and straighten the wheels to reduce the chances of locking. When checking the car, also inspect if the ignition switch is aging; although a locked steering wheel is a minor issue, prolonged neglect could lead to steering system failures, affecting safety. Address it promptly to avoid delays in driving.
