First, turn on the ignition switch to display the time on the instrument panel. Then, press and hold the protruding button in the middle of the instrument panel for more than 3 seconds to enter the time adjustment mode. After that, toggle the button up and down to adjust the time. Here is some information about the Focus: 1. The new Focus largely retains the exterior design of the previous model, with some upgrades in the details of certain variants. 2. For the interior, the new Focus continues the design of the current model, mainly upgrading the configurations of some variants. Specifically, the interior adopts an overall black color scheme, complemented by chrome accents in the details. Additionally, the floating central control LCD screen paired with the three-spoke multifunction steering wheel gives a very stylish visual effect. 3. In terms of power, the new Focus offers two inline three-cylinder engine options for consumers: a 1.5L and a 1.5T, with maximum power outputs of 90kW (122PS) and 130kW (174PS) respectively, and peak torques of 153N·m and 243N·m. 4. For the transmission system, the 1.5L engine is matched with either a 6MT or 6AT gearbox, while the 1.5T model is paired with an 8AT gearbox.
I've been driving a Ford Focus for several years, and setting the time is quite straightforward. After starting the engine, look at the dashboard screen and use the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel to toggle through the options until you find the clock setting or a similar function. Scroll to select the time item and adjust the hours and minutes using the plus and minus buttons, remembering to set AM or PM correctly. My 2015 model operates this way, while newer models might have the setting in the touchscreen menu on the center console. The clock often resets after a battery disconnect, which has caused me to be late for appointments, so it's better to check it every six months. Setting the correct time helps with keeping appointments or logging trips, making daily driving smoother. If you encounter any issues, refer to the owner's manual—the steps are clearly outlined there.
