In this situation, it's best to call for a tow truck because most repair shops can't help solve the problem. Since you don't know the anti-theft deactivation code for your vehicle, it's advisable to go to a 4S dealership for handling. They will use specialized tools to reset the anti-theft system. Methods to deactivate the car anti-theft system: 1. Open the car door: When the door lock is disabled, an alarm will sound. If this happens to your car, use the key to open the driver's or passenger's door, then wait a few minutes for the alarm to stop. 2. Remove the fuse belonging to the alarm: It's usually located under the steering wheel. Find the fuse box and remove the fuse belonging to the alarm. If none of the above methods work, you can disconnect the battery.
My Haval H6 had the anti-theft system lockout issue before where it wouldn't start. Probably the remote key fob battery was dead - try replacing it with a CR2032 battery. If you don't have a spare key, try placing the key close to the steering column near the ignition button - it might recognize it. If that doesn't work, just sit in the car for a few minutes to let the system reboot automatically, avoiding repeated attempts that could drain the battery. If still unresolved, visit a 4S shop for professional decoding equipment. Regularly maintain your key - keep it dry and check battery life (typically replace every 2 years). Anti-theft lockouts often occur due to signal interference or damaged keys. Trying these simple DIY steps first can save significant hassle.
If the Haval H6 fails to start due to anti-theft issues, it might be caused by key authentication failure. First, try manually unlocking the door and then starting the car with the key. Check the manual for any forced release procedures, as some models can reset the system using specific button combinations. The key is to let the car recognize the key signal again, avoiding interference sources like placing a phone nearby. If necessary, use a simple OBD tool for inspection. Regular maintenance should not overlook key battery upkeep, and promptly addressing minor faults in the anti-theft system ensures smoother driving.
