8th Generation Civic adjust time method is: 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 end; 3. To set the minutes, press the M end; 4. Finally, press the clock button to confirm the set time. The 8th Generation Civic is a compact car. Taking the 2019 8th Generation Civic as an example, its body dimensions are 4658mm in length, 1800mm in width, 1416mm in height, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. The 2019 8th Generation Civic is equipped with a 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 220 Nm.
When I first drove the 8th-gen Civic, I also struggled with adjusting the time. But with more experience, I found it’s actually quite simple: First, turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, and the dashboard will light up. Locate the small MODE button on the left side of the instrument panel (some models use H or SET), hold it for a few seconds until the clock digits start flashing, indicating you’ve entered the setting mode. Then, use the same button or directional keys to adjust the hour—press once to increase by one hour. Next, switch to adjusting the minutes, and usually press SET to confirm. Once done, press MODE again to exit. A reminder: this operation is typically needed only after a battery replacement when the time resets—don’t attempt it while driving, as it’s too distracting and dangerous. Also, the 8th-gen Civic’s clock is powered by a fixed battery; if it’s inaccurate, it might be due to aging. It’s recommended to check periodically or refer to the manual for the exact button location.
