Haval H2 Pricing and Specs

The HDC refers to the Hill Descent Control feature that allows the vehicle to crawl down a steep slope off-road without the driver applying the brakes. This function uses the car’s braking and ABS systems to operate, so any fault with it has serious implications for the vehicle’s overall safety.

You may have a dud sensor or something wrong with the wiring, electronics or even the hardware. Either way, an electronic scan should give you a few clues as to what’s causing this fault message to show up. Sometimes something as simple as a battery with low voltage can cause error messages like this to appear. But don’t ignore it; these are important safety systems and you need to know they’re working properly.

This is something you can command the car to do via the menus. From the touchscreen, find the menu for the car’s functions, scroll through until you find the relevant section for the mirrors and enable the self-folding function on locking. That should do the trick.

Logic says it should be, since it’s part of the car as it was sold brand new. However, some manufacturers place conditions on this, mainly in terms of parts that are subject to general wear and tear. For that reason, tyres, brake pads and batteries are usually not covered by a new-car warranty.

Exceptions are also sometimes made for accessories fitted to the vehicle. But even if your TPMS was fitted as a genuine Haval factory accessory, GWM's (Haval's parent company's) warranty terms spell it all out pretty clearly:

“GWM Genuine Accessories purchased and fitted to a vehicle by a GWM Authorised Dealer are warranted for the remainder of the New Vehicle Warranty or 12 months from the date of purchase, whichever is greater. “

Put simply, even if the TPMS was considered an accessory rather than standard equipment, if it was a genuine Haval system, it should still be covered by the car’s factory warranty
