To adjust the time on the Bestune X40 dashboard, press and hold the time adjustment button located at the front of the wiper lever. Here are some details about the Bestune X40: 1. Based on FAW Group's mature A-segment vehicle technology, the Bestune X40 inherits the excellent genes of the Bestune brand family. Its styling is dynamic and rugged, with a lightweight overall posture, making it a premium compact SUV tailored for young mainstream consumers. 2. The Bestune X40 is positioned as a compact SUV, powered by a 1.6L engine paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission.

When I first drove the Bestune X40, I was also confused by the time setting. Later, I found that adjusting the time mainly relies on the small button at the bottom right of the instrument panel. The specific operation is divided into five steps: power on the car but do not start the engine; press the small button once, and the time digits will flash; long-press the button until the hour flashes, then short-press to adjust the hour; after adjusting, long-press again to switch to minute adjustment, short-press to adjust the minutes; finally, long-press to save the settings. Note: Do not operate while driving. Once, I almost rear-ended someone while adjusting the time while driving. If the button doesn’t respond, check if the car is not powered on or if the button has poor contact.

Adjusting the time on the Bestune X40 is actually quite simple. I prefer to do it when the car is parked and turned off but still powered on. The key is to locate the round button on the right side of the instrument panel: first, press it briefly to make the clock blink, then press and hold for 2 seconds to switch to hour setting mode. At this point, each short press increases the hour by 1. Similarly, press and hold to switch to minute setting mode, then use short presses to adjust the minutes. The trickiest part is memorizing the button rhythm—once I pressed too quickly by accident and exited the setting interface entirely. I recommend checking the instrument backlight brightness after adjustment; you can also adjust the night vision mode in the same settings menu.

When borrowing a friend's Bestune X40 last time, I found a three-hour time difference and successfully adjusted it on the spot. Three core steps: with the power on, press the dashboard button to start time setting, switch to edit mode by combining long/short presses (like operating an old digital watch), and finally hold for three seconds to save after adjustment. A reminder: the button for newer models has been moved to the left control area on the steering wheel, while older models have a physical button at the lower right corner of the dashboard. If saving fails, first check the battery voltage, as unstable voltage can cause settings to reset. By the way, applying a reflective film on the dashboard may obscure the setup prompts.

I often help adjust the time on my dad's Besturn X40. Key points to summarize: The operation must be done while parked, the button is coin-sized and located at the lower right of the instrument panel; a single press activates the setting mode, long press switches between hour and minute units, short press increases or decreases the value. Important note: in summer heat, the plastic button tends to get sticky, so press it decisively to avoid getting stuck halfway. After adjustment, don't forget to wait for the clock to tick to confirm - once I set the minutes but didn't save, wasting all that effort. Usually need to reset after vehicle power-off, which relates to the trip computer's memory function.

As a female driver, I dread complicated operations the most, but adjusting the time on the Bestune X40 is easier than expected. Locate the instrument panel behind the steering wheel, press the small button at the bottom right to make the clock flash, then hold it until the hour starts blinking. Similarly, tap the button to adjust the numbers for minutes. Your finger never needs to leave that one button, which is great even for small hands like mine. A personal tip: adjusting the time at dusk is most convenient because the instrument backlight makes it easy to see. After adjusting, take a moment to wipe the button clean—dirty contacts can affect sensitivity.
