I've been driving a Haval H9 for several years and found that the Hill Descent Control (HDC) system malfunctions quite frequently. There are several reasons for this, such as sensor failure. The sensor is responsible for detecting the slope, and if it's clogged with mud or dirt, the system misjudges. Electrical issues are also common, like blown fuses or loose wiring harnesses, especially after driving on bumpy roads. Software glitches are another key factor—some models develop bugs after system updates, or the control module overheats and crashes. Driver error can also be a cause, like accidentally pressing the wrong button or frequently switching modes on extremely steep slopes. I recommend regularly cleaning the sensor area and checking the battery and fuse box. If a malfunction occurs, stay calm, brake gently to descend, and immediately seek professional diagnosis—don't tamper with the wiring yourself to avoid safety risks. Safety comes first, especially on mountain roads where this system can be a lifesaver.
