The method to adjust the date and time on BAIC Senova D50 is: 1. Insert the car key into the ignition to power on the vehicle; 2. There are two buttons at the lower left and lower right corners of the instrument panel. The left button is the selection key—press once to adjust the hour and twice to adjust the minute. The right button is the time adjustment key—press once to increase the value by one; 3. Adjust the time to the correct value. The Senova D50 is the first A-class family sedan under the Senova brand, with dimensions of 4582mm in length, 1794mm in width, and 1486mm in height. The front face adopts a family-style design, featuring a single horizontal grille and decorated with a large amount of chrome material. The headlight design complements the fog lights.

I've been driving the Senova D50 for almost two years now, and adjusting the date and time has come up a few times. It's a simple operation but requires attention to detail. First, get in the car and turn the key to the ACC position or start the engine to power up the system. On the right side of the steering wheel, there are several control buttons—press the middle menu button, and the settings options will appear on the instrument cluster screen. Scroll to 'Clock Settings' or a similar entry, then use the directional arrow keys to select the date and time section. Here, you can adjust the hours and minutes using the left and right keys. For example, to set the current time to 3:00 PM, adjust it to 15:00 and press confirm to save. The key point is that if the battery is disconnected or the car has new parts replaced, the time will reset and need to be reconfigured. An inaccurate instrument cluster time can affect the timestamp on the dashcam and even the alarm function of the audio system, so I recommend checking it monthly to keep it accurate. The whole process takes about a minute—a small daily task but quite practical.

As an experienced driver who often works on cars, adjusting the time on the BAIC Senova D50 is actually quite straightforward. First, ensure the vehicle is powered on—either with the engine running or the key in the ON position—to avoid system power loss during the operation. There are setting buttons either on the left side of the steering wheel or the lower right; press one to enter the main menu and locate the date and time option under system settings. Use the knob or arrow keys to adjust the values, such as setting today's date and the accurate time, then press OK to confirm and save. A common issue: after replacing the battery, the time may reset to zero. It's best to adjust it in a well-lit environment to avoid accidental touches. An inaccurate time might cause the car navigation to drift or affect driving reminder functions. The process is simple—three steps: enter the menu, adjust the values, and save the settings—done in two minutes. Learning this while driving can save you hassle.

As a practical car owner, the time setting feature in my Senova D50 is useful for daily use. After turning the ignition to the ON position, press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel, then select the clock adjustment option in the settings menu on the screen. Use the up and down buttons to adjust the hours and minutes, and confirm to save. Incorrect time settings can affect the timestamp on the dashcam and even cause mismatches in the Bluetooth music display, so I always reset it after changing the charger. The operation is quick and can be completed within five minutes, making it easy even for beginners.
