Method to adjust the time on Buick GL8: 1. Turn on the radio and long-press the RPT button. The display will show: Time/SETUP. 2. Press the TUN/AUD button, and the display will show: Time/TIME24H. Rotate this button to adjust the format. 3. Rotate the TUN/AUD button to adjust the hours and minutes to complete the setting. Below is an introduction to the Buick GL8: 1. Engine. Equipped with a 3.0L VVT V6 engine, SFI electronic sequential multi-port fuel injection system, and electronic ignition. 2. Suspension. Front: MacPherson independent suspension structure; Rear: Torsion beam semi-independent suspension non-drive axle. 3. Braking system. Features front ventilated discs, rear disc brakes, and four-wheel ABS+EBD braking system.
When I used to drive the Buick GL8, the most common issue I encountered was the inaccurate time display. Adjusting it is actually quite simple. After turning on the car but before starting the engine, look at the button area on the left side of the steering wheel. Find the button with the "SET" or "INFO" symbol, press it to enter the menu mode, and the screen will display options like hours and minutes. Use the up and down buttons to adjust the time slowly, and confirm to exit once it’s set correctly. If the central console has a touchscreen, it’s even more straightforward—open the settings, go to the time option, and manually input the time. Remember not to operate too quickly to avoid skipping steps. It’s better to adjust when the battery voltage is sufficient to prevent system reboots and loss of settings. If GPS time isn’t activated, you can also check if it’s synchronized. Don’t rush to do this before driving—safety first.
