What are the causes of the radar system malfunction in the Haval F7?
2 Answers
Haval F7 radar system malfunction is caused by: 1. The working power supply or grounding circuit of the reversing radar system is not functioning; 2. Missing power supply to the controller, loose connection of the reversing radar probe plug, damaged buzzer, or loose connection of the buzzer plug. The body dimensions of the Haval F7 are: length 4620mm, width 1846mm, height 1690mm, with a wheelbase of 2725mm. The Haval F7 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 124kW, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 5600 rpm, a maximum torque of 285Nm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1400 to 3000 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a frequent driver of a Haval F7, I've noticed that radar system failures are not uncommon. The most common issue is the radar probe being covered by mud or debris, like when I park under trees, bird droppings or leaves block the signal, causing it to malfunction. Another issue is wiring problems; excessive vibration can loosen connections or blow fuses, and simply replacing a fuse costs just a few dollars. Occasionally, the system software may glitch, similar to a phone freezing, requiring a restart or software update. If the sensor itself is damaged, it needs to be checked at a 4S shop, which can be more costly. A faulty radar has significant impacts, making it easier to hit objects while parking and increasing risks when adaptive cruise control fails on highways. I recommend developing habits like gently wiping the radar probe with a damp cloth during car washes, checking the relevant fuses in the fuse box monthly for signs of melting, and tightening connections to prevent loosening. Radar signals are weaker in humid or rainy weather, so manual operation is safer. These small details can prevent major troubles. After years of driving, I've learned that prevention is better than repair.
