Honda CRV time adjustment method: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, then rotate the light switch to turn on the small lights, press and hold the instrument button for a while, and the hour area on the instrument panel will start flashing; 2. Release the button and press it again, each press increases by one hour; 3. After adjusting the hour, do not touch the button. After flashing 5 times, it will automatically switch to minute flashing, then adjust the minutes using the same method. The Honda CRV is a classic urban SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company.

I just helped my friend adjust the time on his CRV at the 4S store the other day. For the older CRV models, it's actually quite simple—first, start the car to power it on, locate the small stick button on the left side of the dashboard, hold it for 3 seconds until the time starts blinking, and then you can adjust it. Rotate the main knob on the left to set the hour, press it once to switch to minutes, and continue rotating to adjust. The newer models with touchscreens are even more convenient—just find the settings icon on the screen, select the clock option in the vehicle settings, turn off automatic updates, and then manually input the time. Remember to hit 'confirm' to save the changes, or all your effort will be wasted. The infotainment system often requires resetting after a power outage, so doing it yourself can save you a trip to the 4S store and the labor fee.
As a CRV owner for five years, I can adjust the time with my eyes closed. After starting the car, see the TRIP button on the right side of the dashboard? Long press it to enter setup mode, find the clock option to access the adjustment interface. Use the directional pad on the steering wheel to move the cursor, press the OK button to toggle between hours and minutes, then long press TRIP to exit after adjustment. It's even easier with the new touchscreen models - just tap HOME above the climate control area to enter the menu, then use the stylus to tap the time display area to bring up the virtual keyboard. A little tip: the time resets when the battery is drained, you can find the backup battery location in the maintenance manual to replace the coin cell battery.
