To adjust the time on the dashboard of a Classic Focus, first turn on the ignition switch to display the time on the dashboard. Press and hold the protruding button in the middle of the dashboard for 3 seconds until the clock starts blinking. Once the clock is blinking, press the button up or down to change the time. Adjust the clock according to the actual time when this happens. If you are unsure about adjusting the car's time, the simplest method is to refer to the car's user manual. Below are the general steps for adjusting the car clock: 1. Turn the key to the II position. 2. Push the adjuster downward until "SET" is displayed on the dashboard, then press the SET button. 3. Continue pushing the adjuster downward until the indicator bar reaches "CLOCK," then press the SE button. 4. Now, use the adjuster to move up or down to set the year. After setting the year, press the SET button to proceed to setting the month, followed by the hour and minute. 5. After completing the adjustments, press the SET button and select "EXIT" to return.

Last time I drove my friend's 2013 classic Focus, I also encountered this issue. To adjust the time, you need to press both the 'SET' and 'INFO' buttons on the dashboard simultaneously for 3 seconds. Release the buttons when you see the hour number flashing, then press the 'INFO' button to adjust the hour. After confirmation, it will automatically switch to the minutes. Adjusting the minutes follows the same procedure. For older models with a four-way button on the right side of the steering wheel, you can directly enter the time setting interface using the right arrow button, which is more convenient than pressing the combination buttons. Remember, the time won’t reset after turning off the engine and power, but you’ll need to reset it if the battery is disconnected. After adjusting, it’s best to lock the car and wait for ten minutes to check if the settings are saved successfully.

What is the reason for the ticking sound from the chassis after turning off the engine?

The reason for the ticking sound from the chassis after turning off the engine is: when the vehicle is running, the internal components of the car reach high temperatures and expand slightly due to heat. After turning off the engine, the heat source is lost, and the components cool down due to the ambient temperature. As they contract upon cooling, some parts produce a ticking sound. Daily maintenance methods for the chassis include: 1. Proper adjustment of the front wheel toe-in; 2. Good lubrication and proper adjustment of the wheel hub bearings; 3. Monitoring changes in the front and rear axles and the frame; 4. Checking for any damage to the leaf springs; 5. Proper adjustment of the brake clearance; 6. Paying attention to the working condition of the clutch. The function of the car chassis is to support and install the engine and its various components, forming the overall shape of the vehicle. It also receives the power generated by the engine, ensuring normal movement and operation of the car.

How to Handle a Tire Pressure Warning in a Car?

When a tire pressure warning appears in your car, follow these steps: First, pull over safely with hazard lights on, gradually slow down, observe the surroundings for safety, and park on the right side of the road, setting up a safety warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle; rule out false alarms, immediately inspect the tires, change the tire or call for assistance. Below are the detailed steps: 1. Pull over safely. Upon noticing the tire pressure warning, first turn on the hazard lights, gradually slow down, observe the surroundings for safety, and park on the right side of the road. If parking on a highway, try to stop within the emergency stopping lane and set up a safety warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. 2. Rule out false alarms. Tire pressure monitoring systems work in two ways: active tire pressure monitoring and passive tire pressure monitoring. The former operates by setting a tire pressure value and triggers an alarm when the pressure is too low or there is a leak, while the latter monitors tire pressure by detecting the rotation speed of the tires, as underinflated tires rotate faster than normal ones. In daily life, there are four main reasons that may trigger a tire pressure warning: a punctured tire or air leakage; failure to reset the tire pressure settings after replacing or repairing a tire; failure to reset the tire pressure settings after inflating the tires; the car being parked for an extended period without use. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a self-check first. 3. Change the tire or call for assistance. After the above inspection, if the tire pressure continues to drop, exit the vehicle to inspect the faulty tire. During this time, keep the hazard lights on, wear reflective clothing, and ensure a safety warning sign is set up at a safe distance behind the vehicle. If a tire is found to be leaking or damaged, use the car's jack to replace it with the spare tire.

Why Do Tire Sidewalls Bulge?

Tire sidewalls bulge because one or more steel wires inside the tire have broken, causing the rubber to be unable to withstand the internal pressure of the tire, leading to bulging. It is necessary to replace the tire promptly to prevent continued use from resulting in a tire blowout. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground, mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body. The maintenance methods for tires are: 1. Avoid curbs and potholes to prevent the sidewall cords from breaking and causing tire bulging; 2. Regularly remove debris from the tread to avoid blowouts; 3. Check the tire wear and replace them in time; 4. Regularly check the tire pressure, which should not be too high or too low.
