Method for adjusting the time on an 8th-generation Civic: 1. Press and hold the clock button until you hear a beep, then release the button. The time display will start flashing; 2. Set the hour by pressing and holding the preset button (H side) until the hour reading increments to the desired time; 3. Set the minutes by pressing and holding the preset button (M side) until the desired minutes appear; 4. Press the clock button to confirm the set time. The Civic is a compact car under Dongfeng Honda, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, front track of 1547mm, rear track of 1563mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 1.0T turbocharged engine.
Adjusting the time on an 8th-gen Civic is actually quite easy. When I first tried it, I also had to figure it out for a while. You need to power on the vehicle without starting the engine—just get the dashboard lights on. There's a small stalk-like instrument cluster button behind the steering wheel; press it once to make the time display blink. Then, turn the button clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the hours. After setting the hour, press the button again to switch to minute adjustment. The whole process needs to be done quickly—if you don't operate within a few seconds, it will automatically save and exit the settings. Once, I forgot to do it with the engine off, and no matter how I pressed, nothing happened. Restarting the process fixed it. Remember to wait a few seconds after finishing to confirm it auto-saves successfully, so you won't have to redo it next time you get in the car.
