How to adjust the time on Volkswagen Passat?
2 Answers
Method to adjust the time on Volkswagen Passat: The left button on the dashboard adjusts the hour, while the right button adjusts the minute. First, press the left button and wait until the time on the trip computer flashes, then press the right SET button. Pressing SET once adjusts the time by one increment, while holding down the SET button makes the time digits change rapidly. Adjust the time by coordinating the use of both buttons. The Volkswagen Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG of Germany, classified as a B-segment car in the Volkswagen lineup. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Passat are 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2803mm.
As a long-time Passat owner, I find adjusting the time quite straightforward. First, start the vehicle or switch to ACC mode, then look at the central control screen and tap the menu button in the lower right corner to enter the settings section. Scroll down to find the time and date settings, tap to enter, and you can manually adjust the hours and minutes. Use the on-screen arrows to increase or decrease the values, then tap save to exit. Note that if you're using an older Passat model, you might need to operate via buttons near the instrument panel, such as the left and right selection keys on the steering wheel. Accurate time is crucial for the navigation system—if you forget to adjust it, the GPS positioning might go haywire. I recommend checking it every six months, especially before daylight saving time changes. The time often resets after battery disconnection, so adjust it promptly to avoid affecting the automatic light functions—safety comes first.
