How to Set the Time on the 2021 Chery Ant?
4 Answers
First, press the vehicle's one-button start to activate the car; otherwise, adjustments cannot be made. After starting the vehicle, the dashboard will display vehicle information. Then, you can switch to the time setting interface using the multifunction steering wheel. Press the RES or SET buttons on the multifunction steering wheel to adjust the dashboard display interface. After setting the time, you can confirm and apply the set time by pressing the OK button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel.
I've been driving my 2021 Ant for almost three years now, and setting the time requires accessing the dashboard menu. First, look to the left side of the steering wheel and locate the button with a square (SET). Press it briefly to bring up the menu. Then, repeatedly press the RESET button next to the volume keys until the dashboard displays the 'Time Setting' option, and press and hold the RESET button to confirm. At this point, the hour digits will start flashing. Use the '+/-' buttons on the volume keys to adjust the hours. After setting the hours, press RESET briefly to switch to adjusting the minutes. If you make a mistake, don't panic—just press the back button to start over. A reminder: after changing the battery in winter, the time will reset to zero, so it's best to memorize the steps beforehand to avoid rushing and being late for work in the morning.
Our batch of 2021 Ant models comes with two system versions. For the touchscreen version, tap the gear icon in the lower right corner of the main screen to enter settings, then find the clock icon to adjust time. For the non-touch version, press the MODE button on the left side of the steering wheel to wake up the menu. Key points for button-operated version: Repeatedly press MODE to scroll the menu to 'Settings', then long-press MODE for 3 seconds to enter submenu. When you see the clock symbol, press MODE to confirm, then use the up/down arrows on the right side of the steering wheel to adjust numbers. Note: When increasing hours with the up arrow, light taps increase incrementally while firm presses jump digits. The same operation applies for minute adjustment. Don't forget to long-press MODE to save after adjustment, or your efforts will be in vain.
Setup is straightforward: After starting the car, locate the circular button cluster on the left side of the steering wheel—the one with an arrow in the middle is the menu button. Press it five times consecutively to enter the time-setting mode (the dashboard will flash the current time). Use the up/down buttons on the left to adjust the hour—note it cycles back to 00 after 23. Minutes are adjusted the same way, but remember to use the phone-icon button on the right to toggle between settings. Pro tip: If the time consistently drifts fast or slow, it indicates unstable battery voltage; visit a 4S shop to inspect the vehicle's circuit module.
