How to adjust the time on a Cruze car?

[DeIan]

Method to adjust the time on a Cruze car: 1. Press the one-touch start button on the vehicle's center console to power on the instrument panel; 2. Select and press CONFIG in the center console settings to enter the vehicle parameter settings, then choose the first option; 3. Press the SET button on the left side of the steering wheel; 4. Use the up and down toggle buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to adjust the vehicle time; 5. Press the OK button on the steering wheel to confirm the changes. The Cruze is a compact car under SAIC-GM Chevrolet, with dimensions of 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Cruze offers six body colors: Aurora White, Obsidian Black, Cold Platinum Silver, Glacier Blue, Titanium Gray, and Flame Red, along with four interior color options: Starry Deep Gray, Brocade Deep Gray, Elegant Gray-Black, and Saddle Brown. The Cruze is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5L and a 1.4T, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission respectively.

I've been driving a Cruze for five years, and adjusting the time is actually quite simple. First, locate the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel—there's one with a clock icon. Press and hold it. The small screen in the instrument cluster will then display flashing time digits. Use the volume knob or up/down buttons to adjust the hour. After setting, press the clock button to confirm, and the minutes will start flashing. Repeat the same process to adjust the minutes. Finally, press the clock button to exit. For pre-2013 older models, you might need to operate via the center console CD player—press the SETUP button to enter the menu and find the time settings. If there are no buttons on the instrument cluster, check if it's a top-trim model with navigation, as those require adjusting the time in the navigation system settings. After adjusting, remember to take a short drive—the clock will automatically sync with satellite time for greater accuracy.

A friend just bought a used Cruze and asked me how to adjust the time. I told him to first sit in the driver's seat and look for the steering wheel control area—the buttons with arrows on the right side are the adjustment keys. Press and hold the button with the clock symbol for three seconds, and the hour digits on the instrument cluster display will start flashing. Then, use the up and down buttons to change the time. Once set, press the confirm button, and the minute digits will flash—adjust them the same way. Newer models adjust via the instrument cluster, while older ones require using the infotainment screen. After adjusting, does the time keep running fast? It might be due to a weak battery—recommend checking the vehicle's voltage. During routine maintenance, remember to ask the technician to inspect the instrument cluster wiring connections to prevent looseness causing time discrepancies.

Last week, I helped my neighbor adjust the time on her Cruze, as she always complained the dashboard was too complicated. It's actually quite simple: Sit in the car without pressing the brake, then press the one-touch start button twice to power on. Locate the physical button with a clock icon below the dashboard (for newer models, it's on the right side of the steering wheel). Press and hold it until the time digits blink, then use the steering wheel's scroll wheel to adjust the hours. Press the OK button, then adjust the minutes. For models before 2015, you need to press the MENU button on the center console to enter the settings interface. If the time resets after restarting, it might be due to a dead system memory battery. This battery is located behind the dashboard—just replace the coin cell battery.

As a frequent visitor to car modification shops, I've found that adjusting the time on a Cruze involves three scenarios. For the base model, simply press the clock button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter settings. For higher trims with a color screen, first press the OK button on the steering wheel to access the menu, then select the clock option in settings. For older models without multifunction steering wheels, you need to poke the small hole on the CD player console to reset. The core principle is getting the clock into edit mode before adjusting the numbers. Interestingly, the car's built-in GPS automatically corrects the time, but prolonged parking in underground garages can cause time drift. It's recommended to check monthly - if the error exceeds two minutes, manual calibration is needed. By the way, you can also switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display formats when adjusting the clock.
