How to Set the Time on Volkswagen Bora?
3 Answers
Volkswagen Bora's dashboard time can be adjusted via the buttons below the dashboard display: 1. First, press the left menu button until the digits on the trip computer start flashing. 2. Then, use the right button to adjust the time. Here is some related information: 1. Generally, conventional car instruments include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. 2. Car instruments also require a voltage regulator, specifically designed to stabilize the power supply voltage, suppress fluctuations, and ensure the accuracy of the car instruments. Additionally, most instrument displays rely on sensors. The sensing devices change their resistance values based on the monitored object's state variations, which are then displayed on the instruments. The most prominent instrument on the dashboard is the speedometer, which indicates the car's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour).
Recently helped my cousin adjust his new Bora, the operation on the center console screen is particularly simple. First, tap the MENU button at the bottom of the screen, find the clock option in the settings, and you can adjust the numbers by swiping with your fingertip. If driving an older Bora with physical buttons, you need to press and hold the small knob at the lower right corner of the dashboard until the hour flashes, then rotate to adjust, and the same goes for minutes. Remember, some Bora models can also connect to the onboard GPS for automatic time calibration; just check the auto-update option in the clock settings, and you don’t even need to worry about adjusting the clock when crossing time zones in highway service areas.
Last time when I drove my friend's 2019 Bora, I noticed a half-hour time discrepancy and fixed it directly through the infotainment system: Ignite the power without starting the engine, then tap into the vehicle settings menu on the touchscreen to locate the clock icon. On newer touchscreen models, adjusting the time is as intuitive as dragging a slider on a smartphone, but be aware that some base trim versions require using the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to modify the instrument cluster clock. After adjustment, long-press the OK button for five seconds to confirm and save the settings—once I forgot to hold it and had to redo the whole process. Also, keep in mind that the Bora's time inaccuracy might stem from a battery disconnection; driving a few dozen kilometers will trigger automatic GPS calibration.
