What is the tire pressure reset method for the 2016 Haval H6?
4 Answers
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for more than one minute and then reconnect it; at this point, the trip odometer will reset to zero, and the tire pressure for all four wheels will not display numerical values but only a horizontal line. The yellow warning light on the left speedometer will stop flashing. Then, drive approximately one kilometer, and the tire pressure values for all four wheels will be displayed and return to their previous normal state. Here is some additional information: 1. Normal range: Even when driving on highways in summer, the tire pressure increase for the H6 is only between 0.3-0.4. The maximum tire pressure for the H6 is 2.7, and it will alert when the pressure drops to 1.8. Therefore, in daily use, the summer tire pressure for the H6 can be set around 2.1-2.2, with a maximum not exceeding 2.3. In winter, the tire pressure can be set around 2.3-2.4. This ensures proper tire pressure while preventing excessive pressure due to heat generated during driving. 2. Reasons for the tire pressure warning light in the Great Wall Haval H6: The tire pressure warning light in the Great Wall Haval H6 illuminates when the tire pressure is too low or too high. The Haval H6 alerts when the tire pressure reaches a maximum of 2.7 or a minimum of 1.8. It could also be due to a punctured tire caused by a nail, leading to a rapid drop in pressure, which will also trigger the tire pressure warning light.
As a veteran Haval H6 owner with 5 years of experience, I'm very familiar with tire pressure reset. Generally, you should first park the car on level ground and adjust all four tires to the standard pressure (the H6 manual specifies 2.3 to 2.5 bar). Then start the engine but don't drive, find the settings menu using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, scroll to select the tire monitoring system, and hold the OK button for a few seconds until the dashboard displays a reset prompt. Next, drive at a steady speed for 10 to 15 minutes to let the system auto-calibrate. Once I forgot to reset it, the tire pressure light kept flashing, and it turned out the front right tire had a slow leak - getting it patched promptly solved the issue. I recommend manually checking tire pressure every three months - it saves fuel, prevents blowouts, and is both safer and more economical. Remember to verify accurate tire pressure before resetting, otherwise the system might give false alerts.
As a technician who frequently services Haval vehicles, I perform the tire pressure reset procedure daily. For the 2016 H6 model, first verify the actual tire pressure meets standards (best done when tires are cold). After starting the engine, don't shift gears. Use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the instrument cluster settings, locate the tire pressure option, and initiate the learning mode by selecting reset. Then drive at 40-60km/h for about 15 minutes to complete the reset. A common issue is the warning light remaining on after reset, which could indicate dirty sensors or faulty valve stems. I also recommend owners keep a portable tire pressure gauge for regular checks to prevent low pressure from affecting suspension and brakes. During every maintenance service, I routinely perform the reset procedure - proper tire maintenance can extend tire life by tens of thousands of kilometers.
I bought a 2016 H6 last year, and resetting the tire pressure for the first time was super easy. After starting the car, there's a button on the left side of the steering wheel to adjust the menu. Select the tire monitoring section and hold down the reset button. Then drive slowly for a while, and the system will calibrate itself. I recommend buying a small tire pressure gauge to check it yourself—the standard pressure is listed on the door frame. Don’t overinflate in summer; safety first.
