How to adjust the time on a Tiida?

The method to adjust the time on a Tiida is: Use the touch panel on the center console to modify the time. Select the time unit you wish to change, and adjust it by sliding up or down. The Tiida is a model under Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, with body dimensions of 4250mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1535mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of exterior design, the Tiida features more curved lines, giving it a rounder and more stylish appearance. The triangular headlights and front grille add a somewhat aggressive look to the front face, while the wavy waistline on the side enhances its dynamic appeal. For the interior, the Tiida incorporates numerous curved designs, making the overall cabin look more fashionable than the previous model, with a clear and easy-to-operate layout.
Last time I helped my neighbor adjust the time on their Tiida, I noticed that older car models mostly use physical buttons on the center console. First, find the button labeled CLOCK, press and hold it for three seconds until the time digits start flashing. Then, use the left arrow button to adjust the hours and the right one for the minutes. Don’t forget to press the CLOCK button again to lock in the settings. If the LCD display shows AM/PM, you can switch to the 24-hour format for easier reading. Once during a heavy rainstorm, I realized the time was set half an hour late and almost missed a company meeting. Now, I make it a habit to regularly check the time accuracy.
To adjust the time on the new Tiida's central control screen, you need to access the secondary menu. Swipe down from the homepage to enter settings, select vehicle information, and find the clock settings option to enter. The touchscreen response may be slightly delayed, so press the numbers with a bit more force. It's recommended to adjust the time while the air conditioning is on, as the screen brightness is at its highest and easiest to see. After adjusting, driving for a while will automatically calibrate the GPS time. If the dashboard is hard to see in rainy weather, you can still check the time on the display. Last time I drove to the suburbs and found the time was 20 minutes slow, but this method fixed it in three minutes.
Some Tiidas before 2010 could adjust time via steering wheel. Feel the next/previous track buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, start the car and long-press the MODE button for 10 seconds until the hour digits blink on the dashboard. After adjustment, briefly press MODE to switch to minutes. This method is especially useful for nighttime time-setting, much safer than looking down at the center console. Remember to turn off and restart the car to save settings. Note that the mechanical clock gains about 2 minutes per month.
