How to Set the Time on a Chevrolet Cruze?

[McGeorge]

To set the time on a Chevrolet Cruze: 1. Press the one-touch start button in the vehicle's center console to power on the instrument panel; 2. Press the set button on the left side of the steering wheel; 3. Use the up and down toggle buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to adjust to the desired time; 4. Press the OK button on the steering wheel to confirm the settings. The Chevrolet Cruze is a compact sedan equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 114 hp and a peak torque of 146 Nm. The vehicle measures 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and has a top speed of 185 km/h.

I've been driving an older model Cruze for several years and have figured out the time adjustment process quite well. The button with the 'i' letter on the right side of the steering wheel (INFO button) is the entry point—press it to access the menu. When the 'Settings' option appears on the small screen in the middle of the dashboard, quickly use the directional buttons to select it, then navigate to 'Time Settings.' At this point, press and hold the confirmation button at the top of the turn signal lever for about two to three seconds to enter the adjustment mode. Use the volume knob to adjust the hours and the 'next track' button to change the minutes. Finally, press the confirmation button to complete the process! For safety, remember to adjust the time with the engine off—I once tried doing it while driving and nearly pressed the wrong button.

Last time I helped my colleague adjust the time on his 2015 Cruze, we tried all the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Found a trick: first turn off the engine and rotate the key to the power-on position (don't start the engine), press the right button of the four-direction keys at the lower left of the steering wheel to access the settings menu, find the clock option and press the middle confirmation button. Here's the key point - you need to use the knob under the central console's AC panel to adjust! Turn left or right to change numbers, press down to confirm. Some car owners can't find that the AC knob can adjust time, but it's actually written on page 83 of the manual. After adjustment, take a short drive and the time will automatically sync to the LCD screen on the instrument panel.

The new Cruze with touchscreen is much simpler! I noticed right after picking up the car: tap the small gear icon at the bottom of the center screen to enter settings, swipe to the third page for the 'Vehicle' option. Open it to see clock settings, then directly input numbers via touchscreen. Two things to note: the center console must be powered on—if the screen is black, play music to wake it up first; also, don’t forget to toggle the 24-hour format switch—my neighbor struggled for hours before realizing his PM settings turned into 25:00. The on-screen keyboard responds slightly slower, so tap numbers gently without rushing.
