How to Adjust the Time on the 9th Generation Accord?
3 Answers
The 9th generation Accord includes the 2014 and 2015 models, and the method for setting the time varies depending on the vehicle configuration. If your Accord is equipped with a central control screen, you can adjust the time directly from the system settings within the screen. For models without a central control screen, you can use the steering wheel buttons to locate the time setting option and make adjustments. Here is some related information about the Honda Accord: 1. The all-new interior design fully showcases a high-end and stylish tone. The dashboard is innovatively divided into an upper information area and a lower control area, making the design more ergonomic. 2. The 8-inch embedded color LCD screen includes features such as GPS navigation and a trip computer. These functions can be operated conveniently and intuitively via one-touch multifunctional buttons, offering a better human-machine interface compared to similar systems in European luxury cars, ensuring active driving safety.
Last time I helped my neighbor adjust the time on their 9th-gen Accord, I looked into it. Here's the key points: First press the small stick on the right side of the dashboard, then the time will start flashing. Short presses switch between hours/minutes, long press adjusts the numbers. Note some models require going into the center console screen settings—tap the settings icon, select the clock option, and remember to press confirm after adjusting. After finishing, don't forget to turn off and restart to see if it takes effect—electronic devices can sometimes act up. If the multimedia screen doesn't respond, try holding down the volume and channel buttons simultaneously to reboot the system. Honda's infotainment system in this generation can occasionally lag.
I prefer the most straightforward method: locate the menu button in the button area on the left side of the steering wheel and scroll to the clock settings. At this point, the dashboard time will start blinking. Use the volume knob or directional buttons to adjust the hours, then press once to switch to minutes and continue adjusting. The whole process doesn't require touching the central control screen. Here's the key point! Remember to disable the time zone and daylight saving time settings during summer. Otherwise, the GPS will automatically calibrate the time, but this feature isn't supported in China. That's why my car used to always be one hour fast. After adjusting, observe for a couple of days - the time often goes off after the battery is disconnected.
