The method to adjust the time on a Corolla is as follows: 1. First, locate the reset button on the right side of the Corolla. 2. When the time is displayed, press and hold for 3 seconds until the hour display flashes, then press briefly to adjust the hour. 3. Press and hold again for 3 seconds until the minute display flashes, then press briefly to adjust the minutes. 4. Press and hold for another 3 seconds or do not press to return to normal time display. More information about the car dashboard is as follows: 1. The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems.

Remember last time helping my neighbor adjust the clock on his old Corolla, there was a small stick-like time button on the center console. After starting the vehicle, hold the CLOCK button until you hear a beep, then the dashboard time will blink. Use the left/right arrows to adjust the hour, then press CLOCK again to switch to minutes. The new touchscreen models are more convenient—just find the clock option in the system settings. Important reminder: never adjust while driving. I’ve seen people frantically poking the screen at red lights, failing to set it even by destination. Better to pull over and take your time. Toyota’s design is thoughtful—the AC zone displays current time. After adjusting, double-check synchronization.

Last week I just taught my sister to adjust the clock in her 2021 Corolla. The touchscreen operation takes just three steps: Without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button twice after ignition to power on, swipe up the quick menu from the bottom of the center display, then find the gear icon to enter system settings. When selecting clock settings under vehicle personalization, we discovered it could sync with GPS time. The mechanical knob version is even simpler - hold the DISP button for three seconds until the hour digits blink, then rotate the volume knob to adjust. Recommend doing this in the garage as the instrument cluster backlight makes it easier to see. Also showed her the AC panel clock display sync issue - turns out it requires an engine restart to update.

An old Corolla owner shares a tip: Locate the button with a small clock symbol at the lower left of the dashboard. Hold it for two seconds while the car is powered on. When the hour digits blink, rotate the tuning knob to adjust, and press the button to switch to minutes. For 2012 models, note the TRIP button on the right side of the steering wheel—use it in combination with the turn signal stalk after switching to the ODO interface and holding it down. Beginners should take photos of the original menu hierarchy to restore settings if messed up. If the adjusted time differs from your phone by over three minutes, it might indicate unstable car battery voltage.
