How to adjust the clock on Renault Koleos?

[LeAubree]

Method to adjust the clock on Renault Koleos: Press the MENU button on the human-machine interface system, click the change settings button, use the knob to navigate to the 4th page of change settings, select clock settings, choose time mode, after confirmation, press next page to set the time, then click complete. The Renault Koleos measures 4520mm in length, 1865mm in width, and 1715mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690mm and a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. In terms of exterior design, this vehicle features a thinner chrome grille paired with a large front bumper, enhancing the three-dimensionality and layered appearance of the front fascia. The side profile maintains the prominent waistline and high ground clearance of the previous model, while adding chrome anti-scratch strips and newly designed dual-tone five-spoke alloy wheels that appear full and highly dynamic.

I found that adjusting the time on the Renault Koleos depends on the specific model year, as the operation methods vary across different years. For example, in the 2016 model I encountered, there's a row of buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, and the round button with an arrow in the middle is the control key. First, press the square menu button on the right to wake up the dashboard menu, then use the round button to scroll up and down to the settings option. When you select the clock setting, the hour digits will start flashing. Next, use the left and right buttons to adjust the hour, press the middle button to confirm, and then the minutes will start flashing—repeat the same process to adjust the minutes. The entire procedure must be done with the power on, but the engine doesn’t need to be running. Some owners have reported that the buttons respond slowly on rainy days, likely due to moisture on the surface—just wipe them dry. Once set, the time syncs to the central display, which is quite user-friendly, though for base models without a central screen, the dashboard clock needs to be adjusted separately.

Here's the method I figured out last time when helping a friend adjust the time on his 2018 Renault Koleos. Simply hold the steering wheel so that your thumb can reach the left control area. Press the bottommost button with the arrow pointing inward, and the menu interface will immediately pop up on the instrument panel. Press the check-marked confirmation button on the right twice in a row to directly enter the time setting mode. At this point, the hour digits will be blinking, and you can adjust them using the up and down arrow keys—each press increases or decreases the time by one hour. After adjusting, briefly press the confirmation button to switch to the minutes and continue setting them. The whole process skips navigating through menu levels, making it quite convenient. If the time resets due to a dead battery, it's best to drive a few kilometers after adjustment to let the alternator recharge. Also, a quick reminder: the Koleos’ date automatically syncs with GPS signals, but the time needs manual adjustment, which is different from Japanese cars.

I've been driving the Koleos for three years, and adjusting the time is actually quite simple. Sit in the driver's seat, power on without starting the engine, and locate the menu button with a square frame icon in the steering wheel's left button area. Press lightly once to illuminate the dashboard menu, then use the up and down buttons on the left to select the settings option. Once inside, you'll find the time setting option; select the hour and adjust it with the +/- buttons. After confirming, it will automatically switch to adjusting the minutes. Press the central confirmation button once more to save. When operating, press the buttons lightly without holding them down, or you'll return directly to the previous menu. After my last car wash, the buttons were a bit wet, and I had to dry them with a tissue before successfully adjusting the time. After adjusting, it's advisable to check if the display on the air conditioning panel has synchronized the update.

To adjust the dashboard clock, enter the vehicle settings menu. First, turn the power to the position where the instrument panel lights up, then locate the menu button with three horizontal lines on the left side of the steering wheel. Press it, select the 'Settings' tab on the dashboard, then choose the 'Time & Date' option. This will bring up the hour adjustment interface—use the circular directional buttons to scroll left or right to set the hour. Briefly press the center button to switch to minute adjustment and use the same method to set the minutes. Finally, press and hold the center button for three seconds to save and exit. If you set the wrong time, simply turn off and restart the vehicle to reset it. In the Renault Koleos, the clock setting and maintenance reminder menus are separate, so don’t confuse them. Button response may lag in cold winter temperatures; wait for the interior to warm up for smoother operation.
