How to Adjust the Time on a Corolla Car?

Corolla car time adjustment method: There is a reset button on the right side of the car dashboard. When the time is displayed, press and hold for 3 seconds, the hour display will flash, and short presses will adjust the hour. Press and hold again for 3 seconds, the minute display will flash, and short presses will adjust the minutes. Press and hold again for 3 seconds or do not press, and the normal time display will resume. The Corolla, formerly translated as Huaguan, is a brand of Toyota Motor Corporation. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin tires 215/45R17 and a newly developed inline 4-cylinder 1.8L engine (2ZR type) with dual VVTi technology. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a maximum power of 100kW at 6000rpm and a peak torque of 175Nm at 4400rpm.
As an owner of the 10th-generation Corolla, I remember struggling to adjust the time when I first got the car. It took me a while to figure it out. For older Corolla models, the adjustment is mainly done via the dashboard buttons: First, power on the vehicle (without starting the engine), then locate the small cylindrical button on the right side of the dashboard. Press and hold it for two seconds to enter the setup mode—the hour digits will start blinking. Next, use the MODE button on the left side of the steering wheel controls to adjust the hour. Once set, press the cylindrical button again to switch to minute adjustment, using the MODE button similarly. Finally, press and hold the cylindrical button to save the settings. Newer models with touchscreens are more convenient—just tap the settings icon on the infotainment screen, navigate to the clock option, and adjust the time via touch. I always do this when changing the clock for daylight saving time. Actually, page 183 of the manual explains it in more detail.
Last week I just helped my neighbor aunt adjust the time on her Corolla. These Japanese cars are quite user-friendly. The small black button on the instrument panel is key - power on first, then press it to enter adjustment mode. Use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to change the numbers. For higher trims with smart screens, just find the clock function in the main menu for touchscreen settings. I noticed many people forget to save after power-off - you need to long-press the confirm button for changes to take effect. By the way, some model years can even automatically sync time via GPS, which can be enabled in the settings. The whole process takes just five minutes, much simpler than expected.
