I've been driving a Skoda Octavia for several years and adjusting the time is something I do often. Generally, after parking the car and starting the ignition, don't rush to drive. On the right side of the steering wheel, there's a menu button—press it to enter the system settings and find the time option. Use the up and down keys to adjust the hours and minutes, then confirm and save. Remember not to operate while driving, as it’s dangerous to get distracted. An inaccurate time setting can cause issues, like misaligned automatic headlight activation, wasting battery and affecting visibility. Especially in winter and summer, if the headlights turn on too early during the day, the battery drains faster. I recommend checking the time periodically, as the car’s navigation and multimedia systems sync with it, ensuring accurate trip records. Check your model’s manual—button positions may vary across different year models, but the core steps are similar. It takes just a minute to complete.
