How to adjust the display time of Jetta VS5?
3 Answers
Jetta VS5 display time can be adjusted through the car's built-in central control display. The Jetta VS5 adopts Volkswagen's family-style design, with the dashboard of the interior leaning towards the driver's side, making it convenient for the driver to operate while driving. The Jetta VS5 features a brand-new design concept, with the front grille adopting a scale-like design, combined with its unique car logo, giving the front of the car a very youthful appearance. The lower bumper of the front face uses a through-type design, with an overall shape that is quite grand. The Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
Just a couple days ago I helped a friend adjust the time on their Jetta VS5 - the center console controls are quite intuitive. After getting in the car and starting the engine, tap the 'MENU' button at the bottom left of the infotainment screen to enter the main menu, then locate and select the 'Settings' icon. Under system settings, choose 'Time and Date' where you'll see the 'Auto-set' option - disable this to enable manual adjustment. Then simply tap on hours and minutes separately, using the +/- buttons on the right to adjust before pressing 'OK' to save. Important note: If connected to CarPlay, the time might get overwritten by phone synchronization, so it's better to disconnect mobile devices when making adjustments. After setting, double-check the date display too, especially around daylight saving time transitions when it's easy to be off by an hour. The whole process takes about 2-3 minutes - way more convenient than twisting knobs on old-fashioned instrument clusters!
As a VS5 owner with two years of driving experience, I'm quite familiar with adjusting the clock. Simply tap 'Settings' on the main infotainment screen, then navigate to 'General Settings' and select 'Time & Date'. The key is to disable 'Auto-sync with GPS time', otherwise your manual adjustments will keep reverting. The manual adjustment interface works like smartphone alarm settings - you can either swipe left/right on the numbers or use the +/- buttons. I recommend doing this with the ignition on but without starting the engine to avoid distractions while driving. If the screen freezes, hold the power button for 10 seconds to reboot the system. Pro tip: An inaccurate clock often indicates unstable battery voltage - if this happens frequently, it's best to have your electrical system checked. While Jetta's infotainment responds faster than Japanese cars in the same price range, its touch sensitivity is just average, so you'll need to press slightly harder.
