Method to adjust the clock on Wuling Hongguang S: 1. Turn on the ignition, the indicator lights on the dashboard will illuminate; 2. Press and hold the button marked with 'h' until the clock on the radio starts flashing, then rotate the central power knob left or right to adjust the hour; 3. After setting the hour, press and hold the button marked with 'm' until the minutes start flashing, then rotate the central power knob left or right to adjust the minutes. The Wuling Hongguang S is a microvan with body dimensions of 4390mm in length, 1660mm in width, and 1750mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a leaf spring non-independent suspension.

I remember the first time adjusting the time on the Wuling Hongguang S really stumped me! This car's time adjustment mainly relies on the dashboard buttons. First, locate the small stick button at the lower right corner of the dashboard, press and hold it for three seconds until the hour digits start flashing. Then, short presses adjust the hour, and another long press switches to minute adjustment. Note that you need to set it in 12-hour format, for example, 2 PM should be set to 14:00. After finishing, don't press randomly—wait five seconds for it to save automatically. Once I was in a hurry and pressed too quickly, resulting in the minutes not being set accurately. Adjusting the time is actually much more convenient than on the old Santana, which required removing the dashboard cover. By the way, a reminder: the time will reset if the battery is disconnected, and you'll have to readjust it again.

After driving the Wuling Hongguang S for three years in the transportation business, adjusting the time is something I can do with my eyes closed. The key is the small button on the right side of the dashboard: press and hold to enter settings, and press briefly to increase or decrease the numbers. Remember to adjust it in two steps—first the hour, then the minutes. The most common mistake is pressing the button before it starts flashing, resulting in wasted effort. If you notice the time is off while driving, first check if the battery connection is loose. The dashboard design of this car is quite reasonable, unlike some cars that require digging through menus on the central screen. By the way, if the button malfunctions, it’s likely due to oxidized contacts—just clean them with an alcohol swab.

As a frequent visitor to auto repair shops, I've noticed that Wuling Hongguang S owners ask about this most often. Adjusting the time is actually very simple: With the engine off, press and hold the dashboard button until the time flashes. Press briefly to adjust the hours, then press and hold again to switch to minutes. Beginners often miss the save step - remember to wait for automatic locking after adjustment. If the button doesn't respond, first check if the steering wheel adjustment is blocking the button. Older models require removing the dashboard cover, but the Hongguang S doesn't. It's recommended to check time deviation monthly - exceeding three minutes may indicate circuit issues.
