Why does the hazard lights of Haval H6 flash several times when bumping?
2 Answers
When the Haval H6 experiences bumps or sudden braking, the vehicle will identify it as an emergency and activate the safety configuration, automatically turning on the hazard lights to alert following vehicles to maintain distance. You can drive the car to a vehicle safety inspection center for a check in a safe area. Below is an introduction to vehicle hazard lights: 1. Hazard warning lights, commonly known as hazard lights or emergency flashers, are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to special situations occurring with the vehicle; 2. If the vehicle suddenly encounters a malfunction while driving on the road and cannot be moved to a safe area in time, the hazard warning lights should be turned on immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians to stay safe, and to call for help promptly while waiting for rescue.
I encountered this situation before when driving a Haval H6. The hazard lights would flash a few times after a bump, as if the vehicle's sensors were too sensitive. It might be that the jolt vibrated the collision sensor contacts, causing them to misinterpret a danger signal and trigger the flashing. The design of the Haval's control module sometimes leads to false alarms on bumpy roads, especially if the wiring under the car is loose—vibration can cause brief disconnections, making the lights flash a few times. You can start by checking if the hazard light button near the steering wheel is loose or dusty, leading to accidental activation. Then, inspect the corresponding fuse in the fuse box to see if it's blown or if the wiring connectors are worn out, causing poor contact. If you're unsure, it's best to visit a professional repair shop to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool and check if it's a sensor issue. While driving, try to avoid large potholes to reduce such occurrences. During regular maintenance, have the technician clean the sensor area and wiring connections to prevent this issue and ensure the car operates safely.
