How to adjust the time on a Volkswagen car?

[StGianna]

To adjust the time on a Volkswagen car, follow these steps: 1. There are two stick-like buttons in the middle of the instrument panel. Press the left one and turn it to the left to adjust the hour; 2. Press the left one and turn it to the right to adjust the minutes. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4L turbocharged engine. As for the suspension, the front suspension of the Volkswagen Lavida is an independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a semi-independent suspension, which is a common suspension combination in its class, with overall tuning leaning towards comfort.

I found that adjusting the time on Volkswagen cars is actually quite simple, and the process is similar across different models. First, locate the physical button labeled 'MENU' or 'Settings' on the center console and press it. Then, use the knob or directional buttons to move the cursor to the 'Time Settings' section. Press the confirmation button at this point, and you can use the knob to adjust the hours and minutes. Remember to press 'OK' to save after making the adjustments—some cars will also ask whether you prefer the 24-hour or 12-hour format. I tried it myself, and the whole process takes just two minutes, with the time on the dashboard changing immediately.

That day, while helping my friend adjust the time on his old Jetta, I discovered a little-known fact: some Volkswagen models require you to press and hold the 0.0 button at the lower right corner of the dashboard to enter the settings mode. Use the knob to scroll to the time option, then press the button briefly to adjust the numbers. Pay attention to the dashboard LCD screen flashing as a prompt while adjusting. After making changes, wait five seconds for it to save automatically. This hidden operation isn't even fully known by all 4S shop technicians, so veteran car owners might want to give it a try.

Anyone who has driven a Volkswagen with connected services knows there's no need to manually adjust the time. Upon vehicle startup, the system automatically syncs with the network, ensuring the time displayed in the corner of the infotainment screen is always accurate. To manually adjust it, you'd need to enter the main menu of the head unit, navigate to "Vehicle Settings" - "General Settings," and locate the time option. The newer touchscreen infotainment systems even allow direct numeric input by tapping, much like adjusting a smartphone, which is far more convenient than using mechanical knobs.
