Peugeot 508 time adjustment method: Press the SETUP button on the center console, then select display settings, and change the time. The Dongfeng Peugeot 508 is a mid-size sedan with a length, width, and height of 4826mm, 1855mm, and 1465mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2815mm, and front-wheel drive. In terms of appearance, the car's hood nose wings, combined with the gradient chrome trim and the surface feature lines of the hood, reveal the overall design concept. The concave and convex body lines complement the car's shape, creating a perfect blend of power and elegance. In terms of power, the car is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine.

After the last maintenance of my Peugeot 508, the clock went wrong. After fiddling around for a while, I finally figured out how to adjust it. You sit in the driver's seat and start the vehicle first. See that row of multifunction buttons behind the steering wheel? The one on the right with a little house icon is the menu entry button. Press it and the dashboard will display vehicle settings. Use the left scroll wheel to scroll down and find the time setting option. After entering, you can adjust the hours and minutes. Be sure to confirm both hours and minutes separately during adjustment, otherwise you might end up doing it all for nothing. After finishing, I noticed there's also a daylight saving time option - remember to adjust this if you're driving abroad. The whole process took less than three minutes, much simpler than I imagined.

As a veteran owner who has driven three Peugeot models, I can operate the 508's time settings with my eyes closed. With the engine off, press and hold the start button to power on without starting the car. There's a vehicle settings icon at the bottom of the center screen—tap it and select the system configuration tab. If the touchscreen is unresponsive, you can also use the directional buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to control the cursor. Important reminder: For models after 2019, you must disable automatic GPS time calibration before adjusting the time manually; otherwise, it will revert to satellite time immediately after adjustment. After setting, it's best to lock the car for ten minutes before restarting to ensure the new settings are saved in the vehicle's computer and won't be lost.

I'm used to checking the time on the car clock. Adjusting the 508's clock actually involves three steps. First, locate the time setting in the instrument cluster menu - for the new 508, it's in the left circular instrument settings. Use the arrow keys on the right side of the steering wheel to toggle between hours and minutes, while the volume roller adjusts the values. Finally, press the central confirmation button on the roller to save. If the time keeps resetting automatically, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the battery, as voltage instability can cause settings to be lost. When parked in underground garages, the car might not receive GPS signals, making manual adjustment more accurate.

How to Check the Production Date of a Tire?

Tire production date can be checked by locating a set of numbers on the outer sidewall of the tire. The last four digits of these numbers represent the production date information. A tire is a circular elastic rubber product assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Mounted on metal rims, it supports the vehicle body, cushions external impacts, ensures contact with the road surface, and maintains the vehicle's driving performance. The functions of a tire are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to operate the vehicle; 2. Supporting the vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components.
