The method to set the time on a Volkswagen Magotan is as follows: 1. Insert the key into the ignition and power on the vehicle; 2. Press the left button at the bottom left of the instrument panel once to adjust the hour; 3. Press the left button twice to adjust the minutes. Taking the 2020 Volkswagen Magotan as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The fuel tank capacity is 66 liters. The 2020 Volkswagen Magotan features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Just helped my neighbor adjust the time on his Magotan last week, and the steps are actually quite straightforward. After getting in the car, don’t start the engine—just press the start button once to power on. Then, look at the left side of the steering wheel and find the button with three horizontal lines, press it, and the menu options will appear on the instrument cluster. Use the left and right arrow keys on the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu, where you’ll find a sub-option called 'Time and Date.' After selecting it, you’ll see the current time flashing. Use the up and down keys to adjust the hour, press OK to confirm, and then the minutes will start flashing. Adjust the minutes using the up and down keys again. The whole process takes about half a minute, and you’ll get the hang of it after one try. The key is to do it with the car powered on—adjusting while driving can be distracting and unsafe.

Adjusting the time is a basic and straightforward setting, primarily controlled via the steering wheel buttons. After powering on the vehicle, press the menu button on the steering wheel, then use the left and right buttons on the multifunction steering wheel to navigate the central dashboard menu to the settings interface. Locate the time and date setting option and press the confirm button—this will illuminate the digital clock. Use the up and down buttons to adjust the flashing hour digits, with each press incrementing the number by one. After setting the hour, press the confirm button to switch to adjusting the minutes. Remember to manually update the time here if daylight saving time changes apply. Additionally, some higher-trim models equipped with navigation automatically synchronize the time with GPS, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.

Adjusting the time on the Magotan is primarily done through the instrument cluster. With the car powered on, press the VIEW button on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the instrument menu. Navigate to the time setting option under the settings tab. When the time digits start flashing, you can make adjustments. Use the up and down arrows on the steering wheel's cross key to modify the numbers, and press the OK button on the right to switch between adjusting hours and minutes. Adjust in two steps: first set the hours by pressing OK, then adjust the minutes. If the central display still shows the wrong time after adjustment, go to the time synchronization option in the central control menu settings and turn off automatic synchronization. The whole process is even simpler than setting an alarm on a phone.
