4 Answers
The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross dashboard has two knobs. Press and hold both knobs simultaneously for 3 seconds, then release to enter the time adjustment interface. Use the right knob to adjust the time. More details about the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross are as follows: 1. The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is a compact SUV. 2. The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is equipped with two engines: a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.4L turbocharged engine has the model code K14C, with a maximum power of 103 kW, maximum torque of 220 Nm, maximum power speed at 5500 rpm, and maximum torque speed between 1700 to 4000 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine has the model code CAS16, with a maximum power of 90 kW, maximum torque of 158 Nm, maximum power speed at 6000 rpm, and maximum torque speed at 4400 rpm. This engine utilizes multi-point fuel injection technology and also uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which can simulate 7 gears.
I've operated the time adjustment on the Changan Suzuki SX4 S-Cross several times. You need to start the vehicle or power on to illuminate the dashboard first. Look for a small button labeled CLOCK near the center console, press and hold it for about 3 seconds until the time digits start flashing to enter the setting mode. Then use the volume knob or ADJ button to adjust the hours, and press the CLOCK button to switch to minutes for further adjustment. The settings are automatically saved without pressing any buttons, which is quite user-friendly. Once I accidentally pressed the RESET button twice and it jumped to the date setting, so take your time when operating. It's recommended to try adjusting the time for the first time while parked. Depending on the specific version, the steering wheel buttons might also be operable.
Recently helped my cousin adjust the clock on her SX4. Beginners might find the steps confusing. First, press the brake to power on without starting the engine, then locate the CLOCK button on the left side of the steering wheel and hold it until the numbers flash. Use the plus-sign knob on the right to adjust the hour, then press CLOCK again to switch to minutes and continue turning. Remember once she turned off the engine midway and it reset, so make sure the battery has enough charge. Exiting automatically without needing to save is quite convenient, and switching between 12-hour and 24-hour formats is in the same menu. The car's manual on page 58 has illustrations, and checking the digital version is easier if you can't find the buttons.
I'm quite familiar with adjusting the time on the SX4. Last year during maintenance, I specifically asked the technician about it. The core operation involves just three steps: power on, long-press CLOCK, and adjust with the knob. But note that automatic transmission models must be in P gear to operate, while manual transmission models should engage the handbrake for safety. Once, a friend tried adjusting the time at a highway rest area but accidentally pressed the tire pressure reset button and had to start over. In cold winter conditions, the system responds slower, so it's recommended to wait three minutes before operating. Some higher-trim models with center control screens have this function under the sixth item in the settings menu, and button positions vary slightly between new and old models. The whole process takes no more than two minutes. After adjustment, don't forget to close the windows, lock the car, and test the time synchronization.
