Method to adjust the time on a Passat: 1. Press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the vehicle; 2. Locate the SET button on the instrument panel to begin adjusting the time; 3. Use the volume adjustment on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel to increase or decrease the time, adjusting it to the correct display; 4. Press the OK button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel to confirm the time adjustment and return to the main interface. The Passat has a body length, width, and height of 4933mm, 1836mm, and 1469mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It features front-engine, front-wheel drive and is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm.

Just helped my neighbor adjust the time on his Passat a couple of days ago. The older model has three buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. First press the menu button to wake up the dashboard menu, use the up and down arrows to select the time setting, then press the OK button to enter adjustment. When the hour digits are flashing, use the up and down keys to change the number, then briefly press OK to switch to minute adjustment. After everything is set, long-press OK to save. The newer models with touchscreen are even simpler - just swipe to Settings-System-Date & Time on the screen, turn off automatic synchronization, and you can adjust manually. Remember to keep the car powered on but don't start the engine during adjustment, otherwise the settings might disappear. Passat's design is quite user-friendly - it only takes five minutes to get it done.

To adjust the time on my 2019 Passat, you need to operate through the center console screen: First, tap the menu button in the lower left corner, select Vehicle Settings, swipe to the second page, and find the Time and Date option. The key point is to turn off the GPS auto-update, otherwise manual adjustments won't stick. You can adjust hours and minutes separately by clicking and scrolling the rotary knob. Don't forget to press the confirm button to save after adjustment. If you notice the car's system time is inaccurate, adjust it immediately. Last time, my car navigation gave wrong directions due to time deviation, making me half an hour late. This feature is actually related to the Bluetooth connection with your phone, and inaccurate time can affect system stability.

The method varies for different Passat model years. For pre-2015 models, use the dashboard buttons - select the settings option with the left-hand menu button, then find time settings with the up/down keys. Post-2016 models allow direct adjustment via the central control screen, with the time option located on the second page of the settings menu. Note: disable auto-sync before adjustment, otherwise the system will periodically overwrite manual changes. It's recommended to keep the radio on during time adjustment, as the hourly time signal helps with verification. This operation shares the same menu level as tire pressure monitoring adjustment - once familiar, you can conveniently check other settings too.
