2 Answers
The method to adjust the time on an older Audi A6: Press the MENU or SETUP function button in the MMI, use the control button to select the time, turn the rotary control knob to the time source, and then adjust the time and date by rotating the knob. Press the rotary button to confirm after setting. In the time settings, you can choose and set the date, time, GPS time, manual time, time zone, etc. The Audi A6 is a luxury car produced by Audi, available in both sedan and station wagon versions. The 2012 Audi A6 adopted a new Audi family-style design, changing the previously stable and square shape to a more fluid line that emphasizes elegance. In terms of power, the 2012 A6 offers four engine options: 2.0TFSI, 2.5FSI, 2.8FSI, and 3.0TFSI. There are four transmission options: a 6-speed manual transmission, an 8-speed multitronic continuously variable transmission, a manual-automatic integrated transmission, and a 7-speed Stronic dual-clutch transmission.
Adjusting the time on an old Audi A6 is actually quite simple. I've driven this car for over a decade and done it several times. Remember to first turn the key to the ACC position—no need to start the engine—and the dashboard will light up. Look for the button near the steering wheel or on the instrument panel labeled MFA (Multi-Function Display), hold it for a few seconds, and the menu will pop up. Use the directional keys or a rotary knob to scroll to the time setting option, select it, and then use the +/- buttons to adjust the hours and minutes. Don’t rush; turn slowly to get it precise. After saving the settings, exit and remember to check the date as well—it’s linked to the vehicle’s service reminder. Once, I forgot to adjust the date, and the service light came on prematurely, wasting a check-up. Buttons on older cars tend to wear out, so press gently and adjust the time every six months to ensure accuracy. If the battery is weak, the time might not set correctly, so check the battery level before ignition. It’s best to confirm everything before driving.
