How to Adjust the Time on a 2017 Skoda Octavia?
2 Answers
Locate the black cylindrical knob on the instrument panel, turn it to the left once, and the hour digits will start flashing. You can then adjust the hour by pressing the knob to increase it by one hour. Below are specific details about the Skoda Octavia: 1. Exterior Design: The new Octavia introduces RS-style kits with thoughtful changes to its appearance. The front bumper has been replaced with an RS-style design, giving it a more commanding and aggressive presence compared to the previous model. 2. Interior Design: The materials and configurations have been upgraded. The most notable interior change is the shift from a four-spoke steering wheel to a three-spoke one, complementing its youthful exterior. The interior materials and craftsmanship are significantly better than those of its Japanese and Korean counterparts in the same class. The top-tier model now features the second-generation MIB human-machine interface system, which supports gesture control. 3. Powertrain: The 2017 Skoda Octavia continues to use the 1.6L and 1.4T powertrain combination, featuring a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T engine codenamed EA211. Notably, the 1.4T engine is exclusively the high-power version, unlike other Volkswagen models that offer both high and low-power versions, demonstrating Skoda's generous approach. For the transmission system, the 1.6L model is paired with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.4T model comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving an Octavia for several years, so adjusting the time is second nature to me. First, look at the cylindrical button at the bottom right of the instrument panel—press it once to bring up the menu. Then use the 0.0/SET button to scroll through the options until you find the clock icon for time settings. Press SET to confirm and enter the setting; the hour digits will start blinking. Continue pressing SET to adjust the value, then press the bottom right button again to switch to minute adjustment, using the same method to set the minutes. Here's the key point: after adjusting, don’t rush to press other buttons—the system saves automatically after about five seconds. If you have the high-end version with a multifunction steering wheel, it’s even simpler: press the right directional button to enter the menu, find the time option under vehicle settings, confirm to enter, and adjust directly. Remember, never operate this while driving—distraction is too dangerous.
