The method to set the time on a Peugeot 308: 1. There are three buttons on the left side of the display, press the second button until you see the English word 'AFF'; 2. Then press the third button to adjust the date, press the second button to confirm after setting the date; 3. Hold the adjustment lever for more than two seconds until the time flashes, adjust the hour by quickly pressing and releasing the lever, then stop after setting; 4. Then the minutes will start flashing, adjust the minutes using the same method. In terms of power, the Peugeot 308 offers three engine options: 1.6L, 1.2T, and 1.6T. The main power unit is the 1.2T, which delivers a peak torque of 23 Nm and a maximum horsepower of 136 hp.
I remember when I first bought my 308, I was always flustered by the inaccurate clock. Being late for appointments was so embarrassing! The setup isn't actually difficult. Park the car, find the "Menu" button on the left side of the steering wheel, press it to enter the system, then use the arrow keys to navigate to "Clock Settings," adjust the hours and minutes with the scroll wheel, and finally press the confirm button to complete. I've gotten into the habit of checking it monthly now because the navigation system can sometimes be off, and manual adjustment is more reliable. The key is to never operate it while driving, as distraction can easily lead to accidents. The 308's design is quite user-friendly—the whole process takes just a minute or two. With a bit more practice, it becomes second nature and can even enhance daily driving safety.
I once tried adjusting the time while driving and nearly crashed, which gave me a real scare. So I strongly recommend doing it when parked. The 308's setting method is quite foolproof: turn the key to put the vehicle in ready mode, then select the "Settings" icon on the instrument cluster or infotainment screen, find the "Time" option, and adjust the parameters using the up/down buttons. If your car is a newer model, it might automatically sync time via GPS, which is much more convenient. I also like to check other settings like instrument backlight brightness to ensure everything's comfortable. Developing regular maintenance habits not only keeps the time accurate but also prevents minor issues from becoming major problems, making the overall driving experience smoother.
