How to adjust the time on the GL8?
3 Answers
Press and hold the time adjustment button (HR) on the CD player until the time starts flashing, then press the button briefly to adjust. Below is relevant information: 1. As a top-tier MPV model, the Buick GL8 has achieved batch exports with its advantages of luxury, powerful performance, and spacious comfort, being hailed by Southeast Asian media as the 'perfect MPV'. It has also served as the official ceremonial vehicle for major international events such as Beijing's Olympic bid and APEC meetings. 2. The Buick GL8 Land Business Class, as the first domestically produced mid-to-high-end MPV, the GL8 Land Business Class leverages its 'noble and imposing, luxurious and comfortable' advantages to establish a 'five-star' status in appearance, space, configuration, safety, and power, meeting the needs of government agencies and mid-to-high-end corporate users who pursue image and showcase strength.
I know this well! When you sit in the driver's seat, first check the center console. Most GL8 models have the setting in the infotainment screen or instrument cluster. For older models, you might need to press the two small cylindrical buttons next to the instrument cluster—one adjusts the hour and the other the minute. Hold them down for fast adjustment or press briefly for fine-tuning. Last year, I helped my cousin adjust the new ES version. Simply tap 'Settings' on the large infotainment screen, find the 'Date & Time' option, and turn off 'Auto Sync' to make manual changes. Remember not to enable the navigation's automatic time sync. If your steering wheel has control buttons, scroll to the clock menu and use the directional keys for easier adjustment. Sometimes, the physical button panel below the air vents also hides quick settings. The interface varies significantly across different GL8 generations, so if you can't find it, just refer to the glovebox manual in your car for the exact location.
Last time I drove the company's 2019 Buick GL8 and encountered an inaccurate clock, but it's actually super simple to fix. After starting the vehicle, first locate the trip computer display in the middle of the instrument cluster. There are five directional buttons on the left side of the steering wheel - use the left/right keys to switch to the 'Settings' menu, then scroll down to find 'Clock Settings'. Select it to adjust the numbers, and press 'OK' to confirm. For newer models with touchscreens, it's even easier - just swipe right on the main screen, tap the gear icon, and the third option is the time setting. Important reminder: never operate while driving - it's safest to adjust when parked safely. A colleague who just bought a car asked me why his settings kept resetting, and it turned out to be caused by poor battery contact leading to system resets.
