How to Adjust the Dashboard Clock on Chery Tiggo 3

[Peterson]

Method for adjusting the dashboard clock on Chery Tiggo 3: 1. Turn off the vehicle to ensure the dashboard is in an inactive state; 2. Switch on the car's parking lights to illuminate the dashboard; 3. Press and hold the button on the dashboard without releasing until the clock display starts flashing, then release the button; 4. After adjusting the hour section of the clock, allow it to flash naturally 5 times without touching any dashboard buttons during this period; 5. The display will automatically switch to the minute section - press the dashboard button again to adjust the minutes; 6. Upon completing all adjustments, the display will automatically stop flashing after 5 cycles, marking the completion of the clock adjustment process. The Chery Tiggo 3 is a vehicle produced by Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., with body dimensions of 34700mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1746mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm.

I've been driving my Tiggo 3 for almost five years and have adjusted the time several times. First, don't start the engine, just press the start button twice to power up the instrument panel. Look for a button with a small clock symbol on the right side of the dashboard, press and hold it for about three seconds, and the time digits will start flashing. Then, briefly press the right button to switch between hours and minutes—whichever is flashing is the one you're adjusting. Use the left button to change the numbers: press once to increase by 1, or hold it down to quickly scroll through. Once everything is set, don't touch anything; just wait ten seconds, and it will save automatically. Remember, always do this when parked—once I tried adjusting it in traffic and almost rear-ended the car in front, which was really dangerous.

Last time when helping my colleague adjust the time on his Tiggo 3, it took us ten minutes to figure it out. The key is to locate that round button on the right, press and hold it until the dashboard time starts blinking. Then each press of the right button switches between adjusting hours or minutes, while the left button changes the specific numbers. If you make a mistake, it's fine - just power off and start over. I noticed the car's time inaccuracy might be caused by a weak battery. Once when my colleague left the car unused for half a month, the time reset to zero. Remember to drive the car at least every two weeks to protect the battery.

Simple three steps: 1. Turn the key to power the dashboard; 2. Press and hold the right button on the dashboard until the time flashes; 3. Use the right button to switch between hours/minutes, and the left button to adjust the value. Wait for it to save automatically. Be careful not to press the buttons too hard to avoid sticking. After adjustment, turn on the headlights to confirm brightness and check if other dashboard lights are functioning properly.

It's not difficult even for girls to do it. I just adjusted it last week: first, sit in the car and close the door, step on the brake and press the start button twice to light up the dashboard. Find the small round button on the right side of the instrument panel behind the steering wheel, press it gently with your fingernail for five seconds, and you can adjust it when the time starts flashing. Use your left hand to turn the left knob to increase the numbers, and press the right knob with your right hand to switch options. Keep your hands steady during the process, as the buttons are very sensitive. After adjusting, remember to check the effect when driving at night, and also check the brightness of the interior lights.

The physical button design of the Tiggo 3 is quite reasonable, more convenient than a touch screen. The operation principle involves switching setting modes through short press/long press combinations. Specifically: long press the right button to activate time setting, short press the right button to cycle through adjustment options, and the left button to change values. It's worth noting that inactivity for over 30 seconds will automatically save and exit to avoid misoperation. If the buttons don't respond, it might be a contact issue—try applying a bit of dashboard-specific lubricant. One winter when it was cold and the buttons froze, this method solved the problem for me.
