Haval H6 main airbag removal method is: 1. Remove the screw on the left side of the steering wheel; 2. Remove the screw on the right side of the steering wheel; 3. Remove the screw below the steering wheel; 4. Uncover the wiring harness fixing buckle of the steering wheel airbag; 5. Remove the horn grounding inside the steering wheel; 6. Pry open the yellow lock on the airbag; 7. Push open the unlocking buckle. The function of the airbag: to protect passengers by reducing impact with interior objects, more evenly distributing head and chest collision forces, absorbing passenger movement energy, thereby supplementing the effect of seat belts. Taking the 2021 Haval H6 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4615mm, width 1860mm, height 1720mm, wheelbase 2680mm, fuel tank capacity 58l, and curb weight 1675kg.
Removing the main airbag of the Haval H6 requires careful operation, starting with safety first. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine, then immediately disconnect the negative battery cable. Wait for about ten minutes to allow the backup circuit of the airbag to fully discharge—this is extremely important to prevent accidental deployment. Next, locate the area below the steering wheel and use a small-sized T-wrench to slowly unscrew the airbag fixing screws, usually found on both sides of the steering wheel center. Carefully lift the decorative cover of the steering wheel to expose the airbag module, which has a connector that should be gently unplugged. The entire process should be done slowly and without excessive force to avoid damaging the wiring. After removal, if you only intend to inspect or clean it, check the module for cracks or dust issues. Airbags are highly dangerous—I once tried this myself but immediately sought help from a knowledgeable friend. Beginners should wear gloves for protection. If you're modifying the steering wheel or horn, this step is crucial, but in most cases, it's recommended to let a repair shop handle it to avoid trouble. Finally, don’t forget to test the system after reassembly to ensure everything works properly.
