To set the time on a Lexus ES, follow these steps: 1. Press the left button on the instrument panel; 2. When the time on the trip computer flashes, press the right SET button; 3. Press SET once to adjust the time by one unit, or hold the SET button to make the time digits change rapidly. Adjust the time by using both buttons in combination. The Lexus ES250 is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with the following dimensions: length 4975 mm, width 1866 mm, height 1447 mm, and a wheelbase of 2870 mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 127 kW and a maximum torque of 208 Nm.

Ever since I started driving the Lexus ES, I’ve often helped my neighbors set the time. It’s a super simple but crucial task. After starting the car engine, use the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, press a few times to find the settings menu, scroll to the clock option, and adjust the hours and minutes using the rotary wheel. Don’t forget to press the confirm button to save. If the car has GPS, it can automatically adjust the time, but it often fails in parking lots with poor signals or mountainous areas—I’ve experienced navigation delays before. The lesson is that manual settings are more reliable. Regularly checking the time is especially important, especially after replacing the battery, as it must be reset; otherwise, the dashboard display may malfunction, affecting driving safety. Accurate time is beneficial for music memory and trip records. Spend two minutes to get it done, and your daily driving will be more worry-free and smooth. Give it a try!

As a tech-savvy car owner, I find setting the time on my Lexus ES incredibly smooth. After ignition, simply tap the system settings icon on the center touchscreen, locate the time adjustment section, and modify by dragging the number bars. While it supports automatic synchronization with phone time, the noticeable delay makes manual adjustment more reliable. Accurate time settings ensure smarter operation of driving assistance features, like precise trip recording and preventing Bluetooth music playback disorder. The process takes anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, making it beginner-friendly. Crucially, regular time checks—especially after prolonged parking—prevent navigation errors caused by significant time discrepancies. This small habit delivers major convenience.

Our family has been driving the ES for years, and setting the time is a piece of cake. After starting the car, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the settings menu, adjust the clock section, and save the changes. With the correct time, the navigation won't go off course, and the dashboard will display information clearly. During maintenance, technicians often remind us about this—the time resets after a battery replacement, so remember to set it again. These simple steps ensure safety and don't interfere with daily driving.
