How to Adjust the Time on Honda City?

[VonPreston]

The method to adjust the time on the Honda City is as follows: 1. Turn the car key to the 'ON' position to power up the vehicle. 2. The dashboard lights will illuminate, indicating that the vehicle is powered. 3. Press and hold the time adjustment button for a long duration. 4. The hour display will start flashing. 5. Press the time adjustment button once to increase the hour by one. 6. After a few seconds of inactivity, the minute display will start flashing. 7. Press the time adjustment button once to increase the minute by one. Additional information: Taking the 2019 Honda City as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4450mm, width 1695mm, height 1477mm, wheelbase 2600mm, minimum ground clearance 100mm, and curb weight 1078kg.

Last time my old City's clock was inaccurate, here's how I adjusted it: After starting the car, locate the button labeled CLOCK on the center console. Press and hold it for 3-4 seconds until the time digits on the instrument panel start flashing. Then use the volume knob - turn right to increase hours, left to decrease hours. After setting the hour, briefly press the knob once to switch to minute adjustment (digits will flash), then continue adjusting minutes with the knob. Finally, don't touch any buttons - it will automatically save after 5 seconds. Important reminder: This must be done with the engine running - the buttons won't respond when parked with engine off. Also, keep your eyes on the instrument panel during adjustment - the knob on older City models sometimes gets stuck; if it won't turn, just gently tap the panel twice. When I replaced my battery last year and the time reset, this method worked perfectly - took me just 5 minutes.

What year is your City model? This is crucial. For the older version with physical buttons, simply press and hold the CLOCK button on the center console for three seconds. When the time starts flashing, use the volume knob to adjust the hours, then briefly press to switch to minutes and continue adjusting. For the newer version without physical buttons, it's a bit more complicated. First, power on the center display, tap the home settings icon, select the date and time option in the system settings, and adjust using handwriting input or the plus/minus buttons. Last time, a friend's newer City had a frozen display and couldn't adjust the time at all—they had to disconnect the battery negative terminal for five minutes to reboot the system. I recommend checking the date while you're at it to avoid any confusion in the car's system records. If the manual is in the glove box, it's best to check it as operations might vary slightly between different configurations.

Simply put, locate the CLOCK button on the center console. After starting the car, press and hold it for a few seconds until the dashboard time digits flash. Use the audio volume knob to adjust the hours by turning it left or right, then briefly press the button to switch to adjusting the minutes. After setting, avoid touching any buttons and wait a few seconds for the changes to save automatically. For newer models without a physical button, access the date and time settings manually through the center display's setup menu. Remember to operate while the vehicle is powered on, as adjustments cannot be made when the engine is off. After setting, drive for a while to check if the time remains accurate.
