Locate the clock adjustment button on the vehicle's dashboard. Press the button to see the time display change on the instrument panel. Release the button to adjust the minute value. After setting the correct minutes, continue holding the clock adjustment button to modify the hour value. Once the hours are properly set, keep holding the clock adjustment button to enter the display mode, then select 24H format.
As an experienced car driver, let me share the method for adjusting the clock on the dashboard of older Skoda Octavia models. These vehicles are mostly from the 2000s to the 2010s, and the time adjustment is primarily done through buttons on the dashboard. Step 1: Sit in the driver's seat and turn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine. Step 2: Locate the SET or ADJUST button on the right side of the dashboard, usually marked with a small clock icon. Step 3: Press and hold this button for a few seconds until the hour digits start flashing, then release. Step 4: Use the adjacent knob or up/down buttons to adjust the hour value—turn one way to increase and the opposite to decrease. Once set, press the SET button to move to minute adjustment and repeat the process. Step 5: Finally, press the confirm or SET button to exit the mode. A quick tip: if the buttons are unresponsive, it might be due to dust accumulation—just gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Regular checks can prevent time inaccuracies that might affect your daily driving schedule, especially since syncing with navigation or parking timers is crucial. The whole process takes about a minute or two, and it's best done when it's quiet for steadier operation.
