I remember setting the clock on old car radios used to be quite troublesome, but it's much easier in new cars now. The general steps are to find a clock icon button on the audio panel or enter the menu options, long-press or click to enter the clock setting mode, then adjust the hours and minutes using the steering wheel knob or panel buttons according to the instructions, and finally press confirm to save. If the time is inaccurate, such as after a battery reset, it might affect some car functions like scheduled maintenance reminders or in-car navigation synchronization, so I always recommend checking it periodically. There are big differences between car models - German cars often have the settings nested in menus, while Japanese cars frequently have dedicated buttons. Beginners should check the owner's manual or search online for model-specific guides rather than pressing buttons randomly to avoid messing up other functions. Anyway, it just takes a minute or two to get it done.
