How to adjust the time on an old Polo?

Method to adjust the time on an old Polo: You need to use the small knob on the dashboard. Turning this knob to the left adjusts the hours, and turning it to the right adjusts the minutes. The Volkswagen Polo is a classic compact car under the Volkswagen brand. Features of the Volkswagen Polo include logo-activated trunk opening, one-touch power windows with anti-pinch function for all four doors, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, and EPS intelligent power steering. In terms of body dimensions, the Volkswagen Polo measures 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2470mm.
With years of experience in car repair, I've encountered many older Polo models, and adjusting the clock is quite simple. Typically, locate a small knob or button below the dashboard or to the left of the steering wheel. First, turn the car key to the ACC position (without starting the engine), then press and hold the button until the time digits start flashing. Rotate the knob to adjust the hours, press the button again to switch to minutes, and similarly rotate to adjust. Once done, press the button or wait a few seconds to save and exit automatically. If the time frequently becomes inaccurate, the button might be dirty causing poor contact—gently clean it with a cotton swab, or check for low battery voltage causing electrical fluctuations. Regularly performing this minor adjustment can prevent navigation misjudgments while driving, enhancing safety. Starting maintenance with small details is always a good practice for older cars.
