How to Adjust the Time on the Small Screen of an Older Peugeot 408?
3 Answers
Enter the original car settings in the navigation settings, click on the MENU item, and then click OK. Use the up and down keys to scroll through the options. When the flashing values for year, month, day, hour, and minute appear respectively, adjust the incorrect numbers using the left and right keys.
Hey, I've been driving an old 408 for seven or eight years and know the small screen time setting inside out. Turn the key to the ACC position to power on, but don't start the engine. There's a small button at the top of the left steering column stalk—press and hold it firmly with your thumb for 3 seconds until the hour digits on the small instrument panel screen start blinking. Then, flick the stalk up or down to adjust the hour. A quick press switches to minute adjustment, which works the same way. Finally, hold the button to confirm and save. Remember, this must be done with the power on—turning off the engine will undo your efforts. The buttons on this car are a bit stiff, so you'll need to press firmly. After adjusting, monitor it for a few days; sometimes, older cars have poor electrical contacts, which can cause the clock to run inaccurately.
Adjusting that small screen time? Easy! Step 1: Power on the car without starting the engine. Step 2: Look at the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, press and hold the button on the tip. After a few seconds, the dashboard numbers will start flashing. Step 3: Toggle the stalk to adjust hours, then press the button once to switch to minutes and continue adjusting. When done, hold the button a bit longer to save. Important reminder: Older cars are prone to minor issues—if the time keeps jumping randomly, it's likely due to poor contact in the control module. Just slip the mechanic a pack of cigarettes at the repair shop to fix it. Also, avoid parking in direct sunlight for too long, as high temperatures can age the dashboard wiring.
