How to adjust the time in a Honda Fit?
2 Answers
Method to adjust the time in a Honda Fit: Press the small knob on the instrument panel four times to switch to the time setting page. When the time starts flashing, rotate the knob to adjust the digits. Press the knob once more to save the settings. The car's odometer has two counting screens - one displays the total mileage, while the other is for separate counting, which can be toggled using the black button on the instrument panel. The Honda Fit is positioned as a compact car with dimensions of 4096mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2530mm. In terms of power, all Fit models are equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 96 kW (131 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 155 N·m.
As a long-time Fit owner, I've been driving my 2018 model for five years and know the time adjustment process well. Here's how: First, sit in the driver's seat and turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine – just enough to power up. Then locate the clock button on the instrument panel (usually marked with an hourglass symbol), press and hold it for about five seconds until the time digits blink. Next, use the steering wheel-mounted knob to adjust hours and minutes – it's quite responsive. Twist to the correct value and press the knob to confirm. The system will either save automatically or you can exit by pressing the button again. For newer touchscreen versions, simply enter the infotainment menu's time setting interface for easier adjustment. I recommend adjusting quarterly for daylight saving changes, especially before long trips to ensure navigation and timestamp accuracy for proper route planning. Note: Frequent time resets might indicate low battery voltage – replace it promptly to avoid bigger issues. The Fit's time-setting feature is thoughtfully designed, much simpler than many other vehicles.
