The method to set the time on the ninth-generation Accord is: 1. Locate the 'clock' button on the center console's audio and air conditioning panel; 2. Press and hold the 'clock' button, then release it when the time is displayed; 3. Press the 'r' button to adjust the hour and the 'm' button to adjust the minutes; 4. After setting the correct time, press the 'clock' button again, and the time will stop flashing. The ninth-generation Accord is a mid-size sedan produced by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4930mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2775mm. Taking the 2015 ninth-generation Accord as an example, the models are divided into three versions: 2.0L, 2.4L, and 3.0L.

I've been driving a ninth-generation Accord for several years, and setting the time is something I do quite often, especially after every battery replacement. Basically, you need to park and turn off the engine first, then locate the small scroll wheel button on the left side of the steering wheel. Hold it down for a few seconds, and the dashboard will pop up a menu. Next, use the scroll wheel to navigate to the clock setting option, press to enter, adjust the hours and minutes, and finally confirm to save. Don't do it while driving to avoid distractions and accidents. Also, time settings are crucial for navigation—if it's inaccurate, the displayed location may be off. I learned this the hard way before, so now I always check before traveling. Additionally, if the time keeps resetting to default after setting, it might be a battery or infotainment system software issue. In that case, it's best to visit a 4S shop to update the system. Overall, this car is pretty hassle-free.

When I first drove the ninth-generation Accord, setting the time felt a bit unfamiliar, but I later figured out the pattern. Remember, first park the car and turn off the engine. In the button group on the steering wheel, press the one on the left with an icon to enter the settings interface. Use the knob to switch to the clock option, adjust the numbers, and save. The operation is very simple—don’t worry about messing up. At worst, you might press the wrong key and just restart. For safety, I always handle this when idle in a parking lot, as doing it while driving poses a high risk of distraction. An inaccurate clock can affect the car’s recording functions, like fuel consumption statistics. Checking this before daily driving helps prevent issues—it’s quite practical and counts as part of minor maintenance.

Safety is the top priority. You must park and turn off the engine when setting the time to avoid misoperation affecting driving. My experience is to use the control buttons on the steering wheel to enter the menu, find the clock adjustment, and then adjust the hours and minutes step by step. Inaccurate time is not just a display issue; it can affect the car's intelligent systems such as Bluetooth synchronization. If you forget to set it, it may lead to inaccurate positioning and cause trouble. Regularly checking it is as necessary as checking tire pressure. Don't overlook these small details.

People with strong hands-on skills will find the time setting of the 9th-gen Accord quite interesting. After parking, just press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the system menu, then move the knob to the clock item and adjust the numbers to finish. Interestingly, setting the time isn't just for checking the hour—it's also linked to the car's diagnostic records. For example, after a battery disconnect, the time resets and needs recalibration to avoid fault codes. I often take the opportunity to check other settings like language mode, which is quite convenient.
