Chery Tiggo 3 time adjustment steps are as follows: 1. Turn off the engine, turn on the small lights to illuminate the dashboard; 2. Press and hold the button on the dashboard, release when the time starts flashing, then press again to adjust; 3. After adjusting the hour section, let it flash naturally 5 times; 4. Proceed to the minute section, press the dashboard button again for adjustment; 5. After full adjustment, let it flash 5 more times to stop automatically. More details about Chery Tiggo 3: 1.

I just helped a friend adjust the time on his Tiggo 3. Locate that small black stick button on the center console, press and hold it for a few seconds until the hour digits start flashing. Then each short press increases the hour by one. Next, press and hold the black stick again to make the minutes flash, and use short presses to adjust them. The settings save automatically when you stop operating, and the whole process can be done without starting the engine—just keep the power on. This design is truly more convenient than old-fashioned knobs, though I recommend doing it at night for better visibility of the numbers. Also, make sure to dry your fingers during rainy days to prevent accidental touches.

Adjusting the Tiggo 3's time takes just two steps: Press and hold the adjustment button on the right side of the instrument panel, then briefly press it when the hour digits flash to adjust the hour. Use the same method to adjust the minutes. I found this car responds quite sensitively, so don't press the button too hard—just a light touch is enough. The settings automatically save after five seconds, but note this important detail: You must be in P (Park) gear for safe operation. These physical buttons are much more reliable than touchscreens—they even work with thin gloves in winter, unlike my other car that requires navigating through three-level menus.

As a five-year owner of the Tiggo 3, I have to adjust the clock every daylight saving time. See that small cylindrical button at the bottom right of the dashboard? Press it firmly and hold for three seconds, then the hour digits will start flashing. Gently tap it to adjust the hours. Continue holding until the minutes flash and then adjust them. Remember not to touch the buttons randomly after adjustment—just wait for the flashing to stop. The newer models have added shortcut buttons on the left side of the steering wheel for more convenience. Last time, my wife messed it up twice before realizing she wasn't pressing hard enough to enter setup mode. Later, she tried with longer nails and got the right pressure.

Last week, I just adjusted the time on my 2018 Tiggo 3. Locate the control stalk behind the steering wheel, there's a small button on the side. Press it three times to enter the setup menu, then use the volume buttons to select the time option. The new model has backlit display buttons on the instrument panel compared to the older version, but the operation process is basically the same: long press to confirm - adjust hours - long press again - adjust minutes. It's recommended to clean the buttons before powering on, as oil stains may cause sluggish response. Once when I was adjusting, I had the radio on and suddenly noticed the broadcast time was seven minutes faster than the car clock. Later I learned it was due to the aging battery in the vehicle clock causing it to run slow.

My Tiggo 3 still has manual adjustment. First, press the start button twice without stepping on the brake to power on, then focus on the small button below the fuel gauge on the dashboard. Press and hold it with your thumb for more than five seconds until the hour digits start flashing, then release. At this point, short presses will adjust the hour. Long press again until the minutes flash, then use short presses to adjust. The key is not to start the engine, otherwise the settings will be interrupted. Last time, my neighbor kept resetting after adjustment—turned out it was due to unstable battery voltage. Only after charging the battery fully did the time stay fixed. Although this car doesn’t have automatic time synchronization, the mechanical buttons can withstand the test of -20°C winters in Northeast China.
