Reasons for Roewe i6 Not Starting
2 Answers
Reasons and solutions for Roewe i6 suddenly not starting: 1. The steering wheel is in a locked position: The solution is simple. Just turn the steering wheel forcefully while turning the key, and generally, the steering wheel lock can be quickly released, allowing the car to start instantly. 2. The gear was not shifted back to P when parking: Imagine if the car could start in D or R gear, the sudden movement of the vehicle at the moment of ignition would undoubtedly pose a significant safety hazard. Therefore, for automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), manufacturers preset this mode and repeatedly emphasize in the manual: Ensure the gear is in the P position when starting. 3. Check if the battery has power: Failure to start may be due to a drained battery caused by leaving the headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. Generally, replace the battery in time according to the maintenance manual.
I've been driving my Roewe i6 for several years, and once it didn't start, which gave me a scare. It turned out the battery was dead—loose battery terminals are quite common in the Roewe i6. Other possible causes include a faulty starter motor (no sound when turning the key) or a blown fuse, which interrupts the circuit. My advice is to start with the basics: pop the hood, check if the battery cables are tight, and test the voltage—if it's below 12V, it's time for a replacement. Fuel system issues are also common; a failing fuel pump can prevent the engine from starting. In winter, batteries tend to drain faster, while summer heat can damage wiring. Regular maintenance should include checking these components. Before replacing the battery, try jump-starting it—if that doesn’t work, seek professional help immediately. Safety first—don’t tinker on the roadside to avoid accidents.
