How to Set the Time on a Chery Fengyun 2?
4 Answers
The method to set the time on a Chery Fengyun 2 is as follows: 1. Insert the car key into the 'on' position or start the vehicle. There is a small knob on the dashboard; rotate it to the right and hold until you see the time on the dashboard flashing. 2. Release the knob, then rotate it to the right step by step to adjust the hours and minutes. Taking the 2016 Chery Fengyun 2 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4188mm, width 1686mm, height 1480mm, with a wheelbase of 2527mm. The 2016 Chery Fengyun 2 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109ps, maximum power of 80kw, and maximum torque of 140nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Setting the time on the Chery Fulwin 2 is very simple. I always operate it directly using the steering wheel buttons. First, press the multifunction button on the right to enter the menu, then click on the clock icon when you see it. To adjust the time, simply press the volume button to increase the hours, and after setting, press confirm to switch to minutes. It's especially important not to rush the operation within two minutes after starting the vehicle—wait for the system to fully boot up to ensure the settings are saved successfully. If the time resets after turning off the engine, don’t panic; it’s mostly caused by battery issues—just check if the battery voltage is stable. During every maintenance session, I make it a habit to have the technician synchronize the time, which saves a lot of hassle. Keeping a spare battery in the car can also help avoid unexpected situations.
Experience Sharing from a Veteran Owner: I've used my Fengyun 2 for five years and never needed to touch the center screen to adjust the time. Just long-press the phone icon button on the right side of the steering wheel for three seconds to enter the time setting interface. Use the left scroll wheel to adjust hours, then briefly press the right volume button to switch to minute adjustment. Remember to operate in a parking lot for safety, as adjusting while driving can be distracting and dangerous. If the time becomes inaccurate after setting, it's likely due to poor contact with the 12V power supply—focus on checking if the converter in the cigarette lighter port is interfering with the circuit. After I added a voltage stabilizer, the problem never recurred. Always double-check the time with your phone after adjustment, and it'll become second nature.
Last time when helping a friend adjust the time on his Fengyun 2, I discovered a trick: the operation is smoothest when the vehicle is powered on but not started. Press the SET button on the center console for three seconds until the time digits flash, then you can adjust them. Using the rotary knob is much faster than pressing buttons, but don't turn it too quickly or you might skip numbers. If the time resets frequently, it's recommended to check the vehicle's circuit voltage, as the generator might be outputting unstable voltage. After setting, wait 15 seconds before powering off to ensure the settings are saved. Avoid using high-power car appliances in daily use, as voltage fluctuations are most likely to disrupt the clock. Always ensure the vehicle is parked for safety during operation.
