How to adjust the time on Honda Odyssey?
3 Answers
Honda Odyssey time adjustment method is as follows: 1. Locate the SOUND button on the central audio and air conditioning panel, press and hold it until you hear a beep, and the time on the LCD display will start flashing; 2. Once the time starts flashing, press the 4 key (marked with the letter H below) to adjust the hour, press the 5 key (marked with the letter M below) to adjust the minutes, and press the 6 key to set the minutes to 00. After adjusting to the correct time, press the SOUND key again to confirm. The 2018 GAC Honda New Odyssey, as a mid-cycle facelift model, mainly focuses on changes in styling and interior configurations, while continuing its excellent tradition in space utilization, practicality, and fuel efficiency. The front face of the new car has undergone significant changes, adopting Honda's latest family-style three-section front bumper, replacing the previous through-type design. The upper wide chrome strip on the front grille is painted in a dark gold glossy finish, paired with three chrome trim strips below, adding a touch of sharpness.
In my years of driving the Honda Odyssey, adjusting the time is actually quite intuitive. First, you need to turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine, ensuring there's power supply. Then, look for a button on the right side of the dashboard usually labeled 'Trip' or something similar; press it to enter the setup menu. In the menu, select the Clock option, and use the control buttons on the steering wheel to adjust the hours and minutes. Press the left or right buttons to increase or decrease the time values, then confirm to save. This process takes about one or two minutes to complete. Having the time correctly set not only affects the clock display but is also related to the navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity. If the deviation is too large, it might miscalculate the mileage during long-distance driving. As a family MPV, accurate time is quite important for the Odyssey to avoid delaying activities when taking kids out. Remember to check regularly; if the buttons are not responsive, check the battery level. The digital interface in newer models makes it even easier to operate.
The first time I drove a Honda Odyssey, I was most worried about these small operations. Adjusting the time is quite simple: start the car but don't fire up the engine, turn to the ACC position to power the battery. The instrument cluster screen usually displays a settings icon—press that button to enter the menu. Look for the Clock or Time setting in the options, then use the arrow keys next to the steering wheel to adjust the hour by pressing up or down to increase or decrease, and do the same for the minutes. After adjusting, remember to press the confirm button to save the settings to avoid forgetting to exit and rendering them ineffective. As a beginner, I recommend taking it slow and not panicking—the buttons are sensitive but prone to accidental presses. The manual also includes illustrated steps; download the PDF version for easy reference anytime. This method also applies to other Odyssey functions, like setting the navigation or air conditioning time-related options, and becomes very convenient once you get the hang of it.
