How to switch between manual and automatic modes in Haval H6 2nd generation?
3 Answers
To switch from automatic to manual mode in Haval H6, simply pull the gear lever downward once when in D mode. To return to D mode, just pull it again. Introduction to automatic transmission: Automatic transmission relies on hydraulic fluid for power transmission. Since speed is solely controlled by throttle input in automatic transmissions, they tend to have higher fuel consumption, which is not environmentally friendly. Automatic transmission refers to a gearbox controlled by a microcomputer that can automatically adjust engine speed, clutch engagement status and other parameters based on vehicle speed. Introduction to manual transmission: Manual transmission uses mechanical gears for power transmission. The manual gearbox is purely mechanical, requiring manual operation to adjust speed.
I previously drove a Haval H6 2nd generation automatic version, and switching to manual mode was quite convenient. If you want to manually shift gears for some control fun, simply push the gear lever from the D position to the manual position, usually marked with M or +− symbols. After shifting, the dashboard will display a numerical gear, such as 1 or 2, indicating the current gear. Then, you can push the gear lever up or down to upshift or downshift, or use the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Manual mode is suitable for mountain roads or overtaking while driving, as it provides more direct power response. But remember not to shift gears randomly at high speeds—safety first. Normally, driving in automatic is fine, and using manual mode more often can also save some fuel. I often use it when going downhill to avoid overheating the brakes. Overall, the operation is simple, and you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.
The Haval H6 Gen 2's manual-automatic switching has two scenarios: If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, you can temporarily switch to manual mode. The method is to move the gear lever from the D position to the M position to engage manual mode, then use paddle shifters or the lever to control upshifts and downshifts. Ensure stable speed during shifting and avoid abrupt gear changes. Manual mode offers greater flexibility during hill climbing or overtaking. In contrast, purely manual transmission vehicles cannot be converted to automatic—this is determined by design. It's advisable to check the user manual to confirm the positions, as some vehicles may use the S position to simulate manual mode. The operation isn't difficult; the key is understanding the mode's purpose—enhancing driving control. After use, return to D for automatic mode. Regular practice during driving helps avoid the risks of incorrect operation.
