First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the vehicle, then locate the SET button on the instrument panel to begin adjusting the time. Enter the vehicle, press the one-touch start button to start the vehicle and power it on, then find the "Settings" button on the central control display screen and click to enter the settings interface.
When I first bought my BMW X3, I also found setting the time a bit confusing, but it's actually quite simple. After starting the car, locate the rotary control knob near the center armrest, give it a gentle turn to bring up the main menu interface, and select the "Settings" option. Once inside, look for "Date and Time"—some models have it under "General Settings." Tap into it, and you can manually adjust the hours and minutes. After setting, confirm to save, and the display clock will be accurate. A quick reminder: incorrect time settings can affect navigation functions, such as causing GPS positioning deviations, so it's advisable to check it monthly or during each maintenance service. I personally use this method regularly, and the whole process takes no more than five minutes. Newcomers don’t need to worry about damaging the screen either.
As an experienced driver, I prefer keeping things simple. To start the BMW X3 engine, wait for the display to light up, then rotate the central circular knob to the main screen. Navigate to the "Settings" menu and locate the date and time section. Click manual setting to adjust the clock—follow the step-by-step process to set hours and minutes before exiting to save. During daily driving, accurate time is crucial for punctuality and navigation to avoid delays or wrong routes. If the time keeps drifting, it might be necessary to visit a 4S shop to check system synchronization issues. Here's a bonus tip: regularly restarting the vehicle system helps recalibrate the time.
