How to Set the Time on the 9th Generation Accord?

[AriannaAnn]

The 9th generation Accord includes the 2014 and 2015 models, and the method for setting the time varies depending on the vehicle configuration. For Accords equipped with a central control touchscreen, the time can be adjusted directly through the system settings on the screen. For models without a central control touchscreen, the time can be adjusted by accessing the time setting option via the steering wheel buttons. Below is some relevant information about the Honda Accord: 1. The all-new interior design fully showcases a high-end and stylish aesthetic. The dashboard is innovatively divided into an upper information area and a lower control area, making the design more ergonomic. 2. The 8-inch embedded color LCD screen includes features such as GPS navigation and an onboard computer. These functions can be conveniently and intuitively operated via a one-touch multifunctional button, offering a superior human-machine interface compared to similar systems in European luxury cars, thereby ensuring active driving safety.

When I first got my 9th-gen Accord, I also puzzled over the clock setting. It's actually super simple: First, make sure the car is powered on (no need to start the engine), then look at the central display on the instrument cluster. Use the small buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu, scroll left/right to select the clock option, and press the center OK button to adjust hours and minutes. Remember: single press to change digits, long press for rapid adjustment, then press OK to save. Important: Don't operate while driving - it's best to do this when parked. If the time keeps drifting, you might need to check the battery voltage. The whole process takes less than a minute - faster than setting a phone alarm!

Last time I helped my dad adjust his ninth-generation Accord, I found that just turning the key to the ACC position was enough. Using the up and down arrows in the control area on the left side of the steering wheel, navigate to the settings menu, and then use the left and right directional keys to find the time option. When adjusting, press once to change the value. That time, I accidentally held it down too long, and the minutes jumped straight by 15 minutes. Key point: Hours and minutes must be adjusted separately, and after making changes, you need to press the middle confirmation button to save. By the way, here’s a tip: If the dashboard time display is blurry, it might be due to dust on the screen—just wipe it gently with a soft cloth.

A couple of days ago, my neighbor asked me how to adjust the time on a 9th-gen Accord. It's actually just four steps: With the vehicle powered on, use the left steering wheel control button to select the settings menu, switch to the time adjustment option, modify the numbers with the directional keys, and confirm. Pay special attention to whether it's in 24-hour format or AM/PM mode—setting AM/PM incorrectly will result in a 12-hour difference. If the buttons don't respond, try turning off the engine and restarting the system. The whole process is simpler than setting a microwave clock, so don't be intimidated by all those buttons!

During a self-driving trip, I noticed that my 9th-gen Accord's clock was half an hour slow and immediately stopped to reset it: Turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine), press the INFO button on the left side of the steering wheel with your left thumb to bring up the menu, then scroll to the time setting in the settings. When adjusting the hour, pay attention to whether the AM/PM indicator is displayed on the dashboard—it automatically changes to PM after 12 noon. Finally, press and hold the directional button to confirm. Additionally, the clock must be reset after replacing the battery. The manual mentions that the time can also be adjusted via the AC panel, but I tried and it didn’t work.

Last week, I went to the 4S shop for maintenance and took the opportunity to ask the technician. He demonstrated the standard procedure for setting the time on the ninth-generation Accord—keep the engine off but the power on, use the arrow control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the settings, and pay attention to AM/PM when adjusting the time. Key details: press the select button to switch between hours and minutes, use the rotary button to adjust the value, and press the confirm button to save. He also reminded that if the time is still incorrect after setting, it might be a fault in the instrument cluster that needs inspection. When operating it yourself, remember that it's safest to do so with the engine off.
