Method to adjust the time on an older Buick GL8: Press and hold the time adjustment button HR on the CD player until the time starts flashing, then briefly press the button to make adjustments. The Buick GL8 is a model under Shanghai General Motors Buick, with body dimensions of 5256mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the older Buick GL8 features design elements such as the three-dimensional waterfall grille, multi-dimensional blue BiXenon HID headlights, 360-degree wraparound interior design, and ice-blue ambient lighting, all of which inherit the design language of the Buick family. For the powertrain, the older Buick GL8 includes a 3.0L V6 SIDI direct injection engine, as well as a 2.4L Ecotec engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Adjusting the clock on an older Buick GL8 is actually quite simple—I've driven this model myself. Typically, there's a small button labeled with a clock icon or text on the instrument cluster or the radio panel of the center console. First, start the car and operate it while parked for safety, avoiding distracted driving. Press and hold that button for 3-5 seconds until the hour digits blink on the display, then use the adjacent knob or buttons to adjust the time. After setting the hour, press the button again to switch to minute adjustment. Some models may require using the AM/FM button—press the function key first before adjusting the time. Take your time during the process to avoid mistakes. Unlike newer cars with touchscreens, older models rely on physical buttons, but they become intuitive once familiar. If unsure about the button location, check the instrument section of the owner’s manual or search for an online diagram—it usually takes under 10 minutes. Remember to press the exit button to lock the settings after adjustment, preventing the time from resetting.
