Method to adjust the time on the 8th generation Civic: 1. Press and hold the clock button until you hear a beep, then release the button. The time display will start flashing. 2. To set the hour, press and hold the preset button H (preset button 4) until the hour reading increments to the desired time. 3. To set the minutes, press the M button (preset button 5), following the same principle as setting the hour. Finally, press the clock button to confirm the set time. Here is some related information: 1. The 8th generation Civic features newly developed hollow active head restraints that minimize the potential risk of neck injuries for the driver and front passenger during a collision. The premium version (VTI-S) is equipped with the world-class VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) system, which helps the driver maintain the intended path and improves handling stability. 2. The Civic's chassis structure consists of front MacPherson struts and rear double-wishbone independent suspension. The double-wishbone is a type of multi-link suspension, and the advantage of using this suspension is that it allows adjustment of the toe and camber angles.
Last time I helped my friend adjust the clock on his eighth-gen Civic, I found it pretty straightforward. First, locate the small display in the center of the dashboard with two buttons, usually labeled 'TRIP' and 'RESET'. Hold the 'RESET' button for a few seconds to enter setup mode—the clock symbol will start blinking. Then use the 'TRIP' or other buttons to toggle between hours and minutes. Take your time adjusting; press multiple times until the numbers are correct. Once done, press 'RESET' to confirm, and the settings will save when you release the button. If you mix up the buttons, the manual has diagrams for reference. Pro tip: The clock often resets after a battery replacement, so checking it periodically is a good habit to avoid panicking over wrong time displays while driving, especially during long trips. I tried it myself once—took less than two minutes. Super convenient! Don’t be intimidated by the complex-looking buttons; the design is actually very user-friendly.
