What are the solutions for the hard and ineffective braking of Haval H6?
3 Answers
Haval H6's hard and ineffective braking solutions are: 1. Control the direction: Based on road conditions and speed, control the direction, disengage the high gear, and quickly rev the engine once without load, then shift from high gear to low gear. This way, the engine will provide significant traction resistance to rapidly reduce the speed. Additionally, while shifting to low gear, the handbrake should be used in combination, but be careful not to pull the handbrake too tightly or too slowly. Pulling too tightly may cause the brake disc to "lock up," potentially damaging transmission components and losing braking ability; pulling too slowly may cause the brake disc to wear and overheat, losing braking effectiveness. 2. Minimize accident losses: Use the car's bumper, body frame, and other rigid parts to rub or collide with natural obstacles on the roadside (rocks, large trees, or slopes) to force a stop and escape danger, minimizing accident losses as much as possible. 3. Brake failure when going uphill: When brake failure occurs while going uphill, downshift to medium or low gear in time to maintain sufficient power to reach the top of the slope and stop. If stopping halfway is necessary, keep the car in a low forward gear, pull the handbrake tightly, and have passengers promptly block the wheels with stones or wooden blocks. If the car slides backward, the rear should face the slope or a safe direction, and turn on the headlights and emergency signal lights to alert vehicles ahead and behind. 4. Brake failure when going downhill: When brake failure occurs while going downhill and the vehicle's own mechanisms cannot control the speed, the driver should decisively use natural obstacles, such as rocks or large trees on the roadside, to create resistance for the car. If no suitable terrain or objects are available, in an emergency, move one side of the car close to the mountain to increase resistance through friction and gradually reduce speed. 5. Predictive braking: When driving down long or steep slopes, apply the brakes regardless of the situation. This not only tests the brake performance but also buys time to control the speed if brake failure is detected, known as predictive braking.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for several years and have personally experienced the issue of hard brakes that don't stop well. It's usually caused by a faulty vacuum booster pump. After the engine starts, the pedal becomes very heavy, and there's no sense of assistance when braking. You should first find a safe place to park and turn off the engine, then try restarting it. If the pedal is still hard, check the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment; if the level is below the minimum line, top it up with the appropriate fluid. Next, listen for any hissing sounds near the vacuum pump—if there are, the hose might be loose or the pump could be broken. I encountered this situation during a long trip once and had to slow down gradually using lower gears to stop. Later, replacing the booster pump fixed the problem completely. Remember, don't force yourself to drive—it's too risky. Regularly check the hydraulic system every 10,000 kilometers to prevent air from entering. Maintain the brake fluid and pads regularly, usually replacing them every two years, to avoid such accidents.
I just started driving my Haval H6 when I encountered extremely stiff brakes that were hard to press, which was quite nerve-wracking. The immediate action is to pull over safely and turn on the hazard lights to prevent accidents. Check if the brake fluid level is sufficient—there's a transparent reservoir under the hood. If the fluid appears dark or has bubbles, it indicates an issue, but don’t attempt to top it up yourself; slowly move to a repair shop to inspect the brake booster pump. Beginners often overlook these details, so it’s advisable to check the fluid level monthly and test brake responsiveness before long trips. From a safety perspective, avoid high-speed driving at all costs, as ineffective braking can easily lead to loss of control. Pro tip: An aging booster system often causes this—regular maintenance saves money and hassle. If you’re not mechanically savvy, call a tow truck immediately—safety comes first.
