How to adjust the date on a Skoda Octavia?
2 Answers
After turning on the car, the CLK button is used to display and set the time. Press and hold the CLK button for about 5 seconds until the time display on the screen starts flashing. Use the adjustment buttons—turn left to decrease and right to increase. There is also a button to switch between hours and minutes. After adjusting the time, press the CLK button again to complete the setup. Below is some related information about the Skoda Octavia: 1. The minimum ground clearance of the Octavia Combi is 150mm when unloaded and 125mm when fully loaded. For the domestic Octavia Combi, the minimum ground clearance is 145mm when unloaded and 120mm when fully loaded. 2. The new generation Octavia is produced using Volkswagen Group's new transverse modular platform, MQB. In terms of dimensions, the car is 4659mm in length, 1814mm in width, and has a wheelbase of 2686mm.
I've been driving my Skoda Octavia for almost a year now. When I first tried to adjust the date, I was a bit confused. The dashboard display was misaligned, and I thought I could change it directly by pressing buttons on the instrument panel. I ended up pressing randomly with no response. Later, I checked the manual and finally understood: first, you need to start the ignition, otherwise the settings menu won't open. Then, on the left side of the steering wheel, there's a knob and a small button. Press the menu button to enter the system and find the clock settings option. Inside, use the knob to adjust the year, month, and day, then press OK to save. The whole operation takes less than two minutes, but I wasted time at first. Now, whenever the date jumps incorrectly, I check it regularly to ensure it doesn't affect the navigation. I recommend beginners to operate while parked to avoid distracted driving, unlike me who almost made a mistake in a hurry.
