When the screen display starts flashing, rotate the knob on the right to adjust the hours, then press the center button of the right knob to select and adjust the minutes.

Last time I helped my neighbor adjust the time on his old GL8, it was quite simple. First, insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine, then sit in the driver's seat and look at the dashboard or center console for a small button labeled SET or with a clock icon. Press it a few times to switch to the clock setting, and then you can use the knob or buttons to adjust the hours and minutes. After adjusting, press confirm to save. Remember to be gentle and avoid pressing other buttons randomly to prevent messing with the car lights or other functions. Also, low car battery levels can cause the time to reset, so it's recommended to check the battery status regularly to ensure stability. Having the correct time while driving helps avoid delays in travel plans—it's a practical little trick that becomes easier with practice.
