How to Emergency Release the Electronic Handbrake on a Haval H6?
2 Answers
You can try restarting the car to see if the fault code still exists. If the fault code is gone and the vehicle is functioning normally, it is likely a sporadic fault code and can be ignored. If the fault code persists after restarting, it indicates an issue with the electronic handbrake. This is usually due to wiring problems or an issue with the vehicle's computer.
As a veteran driver with years of experience behind the wheel of a Haval H6, my first reaction when encountering an emergency with the electronic parking brake is to stay calm. The Haval H6's electronic parking brake has a small cover under the center armrest. Pry it open, and you'll see a cable—give it a firm pull to manually release the brake. I've tried this trick a few times, like when my battery suddenly died during a mountain trip, leaving the parking brake locked and the car immobile. I found a stick to pry open the cover and pull the cable to fix it. Before emergency release, always ensure safety by stopping the car, shifting to P, and turning off the engine. Parking brake lock-ups usually occur due to system power loss or malfunctions, so regular maintenance and periodic checks of the brake system are essential. If you're not confident, it's best not to attempt it yourself—call a tow truck to avoid damaging the car. Remember, safety always comes first. Stay alert and keep cool on the road to handle any situation.
