How to Set the Time on a 7th Generation Accord?

Method to set the time on a 7th Generation Accord: Locate the SOUND button on the center console's audio and air conditioning panel. Below this button, there is a label marked CLOCK. Press and hold this button until you hear a beep, and the time displayed on the LCD screen will start flashing. Press the letter H to adjust the hour and the letter M to adjust the minutes. Then press the SOUND button again to confirm, and the time will stop flashing. The 7th Generation Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4814mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1463mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2738mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a CVT transmission or a 5-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven a seventh-gen Accord, and adjusting the time is actually quite simple. After starting the car, focus on the instrument panel and locate the button labeled CLOCK—usually near the AC controls. Press it once, and the time digits will start flashing. Then use the up/down arrow keys to adjust the hours. Once set, press CLOCK again to switch to minutes and continue adjusting. Be gentle—the buttons are a bit sensitive. Don't forget to press SET to save. Some model years also let you set the date using a similar method. Oh, and it's best to do this while parked; adjusting while driving can be distracting. If the dashboard buttons aren't responsive, the contacts might be oxidized—just clean them with an eraser.
Setting the time for the 7th-gen Accord is straightforward. First, start the engine and press the CLOCK button on the AC panel—the time display will blink. Then, use the arrow adjustment keys to modify the digits: a short press increases/decreases by 1, while a long press enables rapid scrolling. Note that you’ll need to manually switch to minute mode after adjusting the hours. Finally, press SET to confirm. The car’s design is user-friendly, with tactile button feedback, though older models may occasionally experience sticky buttons—gently pressing vertically with your fingertip helps. The dashboard backlight stays on throughout for visibility. After setting, restart the engine to test the changes.
