How to Set the Date on the New Mondeo?
2 Answers
After turning on the car, the CLK button is used to display and set the time. Press and hold the CLK button for about 5 seconds until the time display on the screen starts flashing. Use the adjustment knob (turn left to decrease, turn right to increase) to adjust the hour first, then the minutes. After selecting the desired time, press the CLK button to confirm.
When I first bought my new Mondeo, setting the date was a bit confusing; but I got the hang of it after a few tries. Sitting in the driver's seat, start the engine but don't drive off, ensuring safety. Press the button on the lower left side of the steering wheel to bring up the dashboard menu; locate the system settings option, then use the directional keys to scroll to the time and date section. Manually entering the year, month, and day was a bit tricky—for example, I initially reversed the order, and the navigation system kept giving me errors. Later, I understood that accurate date settings help the GPS calculate travel time. I recommend checking it regularly, especially after a battery change, as it might reset; it takes just two or three minutes to complete and doesn’t affect driving normally.
