What is the correct procedure for using the electronic parking brake in the Haval H6?
2 Answers
Remove the brake pedal and continuously pull the electronic parking brake switch upward until the indicator light on the instrument panel illuminates, at which point the indicator light on the parking brake switch will also illuminate. Below is an introduction to the Haval H6: 1. Haval H6 versions: The Haval H6 is the flagship model of the Haval brand. It was officially launched on August 25, 2011, at the Great Wall Motors Tianjin new factory, positioned as an urban intelligent SUV. It offers Mitsubishi 2.0L gasoline-powered models and Green Power 2.0T diesel models, divided into three versions: Urban, Elite, and Premium. 2. Haval H6 powertrain: The Haval H6 is equipped with the 'China's Top Ten Engines' 1.5T direct-injection turbocharged engine, featuring the same CVVL (Continuous Variable Valve Lift) technology as BMW, leading in its class. The turbo engages at 1000 rpm, providing stronger low-speed torque, with a maximum power output of 124 kW and peak torque of 285 N·m, delivering more robust performance.
When using the Haval H6's electronic parking brake, I have to say this thing is quite smooth to operate. When parking, make sure the car comes to a complete stop, keep your foot on the brake pedal, find the button with the P symbol on the center console and press it gently—a red light will illuminate on the instrument panel, indicating the parking brake is engaged. Before starting off, don’t rush: first sit in the seat and fasten your seatbelt, start the engine, press the brake pedal and shift into D gear, then lightly tap the accelerator pedal—the parking brake will automatically release and the car will move. This auto-release feature is especially safe on slopes, as it briefly holds the wheels to prevent rolling back. During daily driving, develop a good habit of engaging the parking brake immediately after stopping to avoid the risk of the car sliding. If you ever want to manually release or engage it, just press the button, but avoid doing so while driving to prevent system damage. Remember to regularly check if the button is responsive and keep dust from accumulating to ensure functionality. Overall, the electronic parking brake is much more convenient than the traditional handbrake I’ve used before.
