How to use the rotary gear shift on Haval H6?

[MalachiAnn]

Select the manual mode (usually a button). Then push the gear lever to the D position. Next, use the paddle shifters to upshift or downshift, which means first place the gear lever in manual mode. Then freely switch to the desired gear using the paddle shifters when the engine speed is appropriate.

When I first drove the Haval H6, the rotary gear shift felt quite unfamiliar, but it became simple once I got the hang of it. After starting the vehicle, make sure it's stationary, press the brake pedal, and then turn the large rotary knob on the center console. The markings are clear: P for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, and D for Drive, each with distinct icons and a crisp sound when rotated. Be careful not to turn the knob randomly while driving, as it may damage the transmission, so developing the habit of shifting only when stopped is crucial. The advantage is the space-saving design, keeping the center console neat and unobstructed for placing phones or cups. I use it in combination with the auto-hold function, making gear shifts effortless at traffic lights and improving daily driving efficiency. As a new owner, I found the transition from a traditional gear lever to this rotary knob required an adaptation period, but after two or three weeks, it became very intuitive—offering a high-tech feel while being practical.

As a long-time driver, I quickly adapted to the rotary gear shifter and found the system in the Haval H6 very smooth to use. The operation is straightforward: after ignition, press the brake and gently twist the knob to the desired gear. The small spacing between gears and precise feedback make it easy to use, with a lock button on the P gear to prevent accidental touches, especially useful during hill starts and stops. Compared to traditional gear levers, the rotary knob saves front cabin space and is much lighter to operate. I use it frequently for switching between highway and city driving, with fast gear shifts and no jerking, making it ideal for long-distance driving to reduce fatigue. An added bonus is its ease of cleaning—the smooth surface doesn’t trap dirt, requiring only regular wiping. This design showcases modern car technology, being reliable and durable with no issues encountered, suitable for drivers of all ages.

I usually drive my kids around, and the rotary gear shift design of the Haval H6 is very considerate, making it effortless to use. After starting the car, just step on the brake and turn the knob to select the gear: P for Park, R for Reverse, and D for Drive are all intuitive. The knob is conveniently located in the center console, within easy reach. For safety, make sure the car is completely stopped before shifting. When reversing, it pairs well with the rearview camera for precise maneuvering. The space-saving design allows for placing kids' toys or water bottles in the center without affecting driving. This system is simple and easy to learn, making it quick for beginners to get the hang of it. Even in heavy city traffic with frequent gear changes, it doesn’t feel cumbersome, and combined with the auto-hold function, it makes driving even more comfortable.
