How to set the time on Octavia?
2 Answers
To set the time on the Octavia: 1. Adjust the small black cylinder on the instrument panel. Turn it to the left to make the hour hand flash, then you can adjust the hour by pressing it once to increase by one hour; 2. Turn it to the right to make the minute hand flash, then you can adjust the minutes by pressing it once to increase by one minute. The Octavia has a length of 4675mm, width of 1814mm, height of 1460mm, and a wheelbase of 2686mm, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Octavia is a compact sedan powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 113 hp and a maximum torque of 145 Nm.
I have quite some experience setting the time in Skoda Octavia, especially the modern models with multifunction steering wheels. The steps are: start the engine but don't shift gears, then press the left or right button on the steering wheel to enter the dashboard menu. Find the time icon or system settings option. Use the up and down arrows on the steering wheel to move the cursor to the hour position, toggle left and right to adjust the value, press confirm, then set the minutes, and finally save and exit. For the new touchscreen models, you need to tap the settings icon on the center console and enter the clock option to adjust. This is basically universal whether it's the older models without screens or the newer ones with screens. If you've just replaced the battery, the system time might reset automatically and you'll have to set it again. Accurate time is very important because the car navigation and trip logs rely on this data. Getting it wrong could affect the next maintenance reminder. I also recommend manually updating it during daylight saving time to avoid errors. It only takes a few minutes to do, and it makes driving more comfortable.
