How to turn off the start-stop function in Haval H6?
3 Answers
Start-stop system works by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at intersections, with the driver pressing the brake pedal and shifting to neutral. The method to disable the Haval H6's automatic start-stop system is as follows: 1. The Haval H6's automatic start-stop system is enabled by default when the ignition is turned on. 2. Press the button once to turn it off. (Note: the light indicates the system is off). Below are the steps to permanently disable the automatic start-stop function in the new H6: 1. First, enter the vehicle without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button twice to power on the infotainment system, and navigate to the start-stop disable page. 2. Switch to sport mode, turn off the automatic start-stop function by setting it to the OFF position. 3. Switch back to normal mode and exit the infotainment page. 4. If you don't enable automatic start-stop in sport mode afterwards, the system won't activate automatically.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for a while and would like to share my experience on disabling the start-stop function. After starting the car, look for the small button with an 'A' icon or labeled 'Start-Stop' either on the left side of the steering wheel or the center console. Press it, and when the indicator light turns on, it means the function is deactivated. I prefer manually turning it off every time I get in the car because during traffic jams, the engine keeps restarting repeatedly, creating noise and affecting driving smoothness. While the start-stop system was originally designed for fuel efficiency and environmental protection, in practice, frequent ignition increases battery wear, especially noticeable in older models. If the button doesn't respond, check the dashboard for warning lights—you might need to visit a 4S shop to inspect the battery or software settings. Some people ask about permanent deactivation methods, but I'd advise against tampering with system parameters to avoid voiding the warranty. In daily driving, I almost always turn it off—it's simple to operate and significantly improves comfort.
As a frequent driver of the Haval H6, turning off the auto start-stop is actually quite simple: right after ignition, locate the 'A' button on the center console and press it quickly—the light will indicate it's disabled. This has become my habit to avoid unexpected engine shutdowns at red lights. The auto start-stop feature can be quite annoying in city stop-and-go traffic, with its loud noise and delayed starts, so I always manually disable it. On the other hand, while auto start-stop saves fuel, it puts extra strain on the battery. If the battery is aging, the system will automatically deactivate, making manual disabling ineffective. New drivers can check the manual for the button's location to avoid blind operation. Developing the habit of disabling auto start-stop after every ignition can make driving much smoother.
