Where is the hood switch of Haval H6?
2 Answers
The Haval H6 has a fuel tank icon next to the brake pedal on the driver's side, and the hood switch is located next to this fuel tank. The hood is made of rubber foam cotton and aluminum foil materials, which not only reduces engine noise but also isolates the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint on the hood surface and preventing aging. Below are the steps to open the hood: 1. The hood lock is equipped with a safety device; you need to reach into the gap and flip the lever of the safety device. 2. After opening the engine hood, since the Haval H6 cannot automatically lift the hood, you need to place the hydraulic rod in the designated position to secure the hood. 3. When closing the hood, make sure to return the hydraulic rod to its original position; otherwise, it may cause unusual noises.
I remember the hood release lever on the Haval H6 is quite noticeable—it's located above the driver's footwell near the door frame, just a glance downward reveals a plastic handle. Pulling it slightly unlocks the hood partially, then you'll need to walk to the front and manually lift the heavy lid where there's a secondary safety latch; press a small lever to fully release it. Operate gently when pulling the lever to avoid damaging internal components. For reference, post-2020 models feature a more durable metal lever, while older versions may have plastic ones prone to wear. Regular cleaning prevents dust buildup that could jam the mechanism—a quick spray of lubricant eases stiff operation, making maintenance hassle-free.
