Adjusting the date on a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze is straightforward—I own this model myself and often deal with calendar inaccuracies. Here are the steps: First, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and the dashboard will light up. Then, locate the arrow button or small knob below the dashboard and press it a few times to enter the settings menu. There’s usually a time option on the screen—select it, then choose the date adjustment section. Use the buttons to change the year, month, and day, cycling through the numbers until correct. Save the settings once done. Why adjust this regularly? Because the date affects the onboard computer’s trip records and maintenance reminders, helping avoid missed service deadlines. Check it every six months, especially before seasonal changes, to detect system errors early and ensure accurate driving data. If you can’t find the button, refer to the illustrated owner’s manual—it’s very intuitive.
