The method to adjust the date on the new Mondeo: After turning on the car, press the CLK button to display the time and enter the time setting mode. Hold down the CLK button for about 5 seconds until the time display starts flashing. Use the adjustment buttons - turn left to decrease and right to increase. First adjust the hour, then the minutes. After selecting the correct time, press CLK again to confirm. The dimensions of the new Mondeo are 4873mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. This model offers both light and dark color schemes. The base 1.5L GTDi180 Comfort variant only comes with light-colored interior, while the 2.0L GTDi240 Luxury Sport variant features dark-colored interior.
Adjusting the date on the new Mondeo is actually quite simple, and I often have to do this because the date resets after changing the battery. First, start the car by pressing the ignition button. Next, find the menu control button on the left side of the steering wheel, or simply tap the HOME icon on the central touchscreen to enter the main menu. Swipe to the system settings and open it, where you'll find a date and time option—select manual date adjustment. Just input the current year, month, and day, then confirm, and you're done. Why adjust the date? The car's navigation and dashcam rely on it. An incorrect date can cause the navigation to misguide you, affecting safety. During regular maintenance, it's best to check the date settings to avoid issues with the dashcam. If you're unsure, refer to the owner's manual—it explains which chapter covers this to prevent mistakes. The new Mondeo's system is very responsive; it usually takes just two minutes to set up, which is quite hassle-free. Last time my battery was disconnected, I had to reset it, and adjusting the time was just as easy.
