The method to adjust the clock on the 8th generation Civic is: Press and hold the clock button until you hear a beep, then release the button. The time display will start flashing. To set the hour, press and hold the preset button (H end, preset button 4) until the hour reading increments to the desired time. To set the minutes, press the M end (preset button 5), following the same principle as setting the hour. Then press the clock button to confirm the set time. The 8th generation Civic is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension.

When I first got my eighth-gen Civic, I also found adjusting the time a bit confusing. Actually, it's quite simple. Start the car and park it in a safe place—don't do it while driving. Look for a button near the steering wheel or at the lower right corner of the dashboard, usually labeled SET or H/M. Hold it down for a few seconds until the time digits start flashing, then use the adjacent + or - buttons to adjust the hours and minutes. Once set, release the button, and it will save automatically. I remember trying it several times at first—button locations vary by trim level. Base models might have the button at the lower left of the dashboard, while higher trims with steering wheel controls are easier to operate. Setting the time accurately is important for the car's systems, like improving GPS navigation accuracy and avoiding the need to glance at your phone. If the buttons respond slowly, it might be due to dust or wear—just clean them, and they should work fine.

After all these years of playing with cars, the time setting on the eighth-generation Civic tends to have minor issues. The key is to locate the setting button on the dashboard, press and hold it to enter the time mode, then adjust the hours and minutes. The most important thing is not to get distracted while driving—safety first. Common problems include unresponsive buttons, which might be due to poor wiring contact or a blown fuse. Also, the time resets after a battery disconnect, so you'll need to readjust it after reconnecting. It's recommended to perform this operation while parked and test it after starting the car. Inaccurate time can cause significant issues, like incorrect navigation system synchronization, making long-distance drives more troublesome. If the button is broken, it needs repair—keep the button dry to prevent oxidation. Check the time every few months to prevent minor faults from accumulating into major problems.

Adjusting the time on an eighth-generation Civic is straightforward. Start the car and find a quiet place to park. There's a button on the dashboard, possibly labeled 'SET.' Press and hold the button until the time starts flashing, then use the buttons to adjust the hours and minutes. Release the button to save the settings. Some models also allow you to set the date using a similar method. Accurate time is useful for driving logs, such as dashcam recordings. The button location may vary by model; if it's dirty, cleaning it can improve responsiveness. Remember to take your time during the process for better results.
