What to do if the paddle shifter is accidentally pressed on Haval H6?
2 Answers
If you accidentally press the paddle shifter and put the gear lever into manual mode, you can freely switch to the desired gear using the paddle shifter when the engine speed is appropriate. Here is some additional information: 1. Function of paddle shifters: Paddle shifters are gear-shifting devices installed on cars with semi-automatic clutches. Their purpose is to allow gear changes without stepping on the clutch pedal, directly by pulling the paddle shifters. This device is widely used in racing cars. Since paddle shifters are located behind the steering wheel, shifting is very convenient and efficient. They are used in many rally races, circuit races, and even F1 events. 2. Two types of paddle shifters: Fixed and follow-up. Fixed paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the dashboard, meaning they do not rotate when the steering wheel turns. Follow-up paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the steering wheel, meaning they rotate along with the steering wheel during turns.
I've had similar experiences while driving. The paddle shifters on the Haval H6 are quite user-friendly in design. Accidentally pressing the '+' or '-' paddle in automatic mode doesn't cause much trouble. The car's automatic transmission will automatically detect your operation - if you just briefly touch it by mistake, it might briefly display the manual gear position but will return to automatic mode within seconds. No need to panic in this situation, just continue driving normally. Definitely don't slam on the brakes or try to force any operations, as that could actually distract you. If it does get stuck in manual mode, simply wait for a red light or safely pull over, then gently move the gear selector back to 'D' position. Remember modern cars have protection mechanisms - occasional accidental touches won't damage the transmission. Develop the habit of keeping focused on the steering wheel to avoid repeating it. It's just a small episode - staying calm and handling it this way is absolutely safe.
