How to Set the Time on Volkswagen Magotan?
3 Answers
Magotan time adjustment steps are as follows: 1. There is one button each at the lower left and lower right corners of the instrument panel. Simply use these two buttons to quickly adjust the time. 2. Press the left button once - this is the selection button, pressing it once adjusts the hour. 3. Press the right button once - this is the adjustment button, pressing it once increases the value by one. 4. Press the left button twice - pressing it twice adjusts the minutes. Time adjustment notes: 1. When the instrument panel displays the correct time, the system will automatically synchronize the clock hands. 2. To minimize the time difference with Beijing time, you can set the time one minute slower than Beijing time, then press the button to adjust the minutes when Beijing time reaches 59 seconds.
When I first bought my car, I also researched for a long time. Adjusting the time on the Volkswagen Magotan is actually quite simple. First, start the ignition, then find the Settings menu on the central display homepage, tap into it and select the Time & Date option. Some newer models allow direct adjustment by tapping the screen, while older versions might require using the multifunction steering wheel buttons. I prefer adjusting the hour first, then the minutes. Sometimes it auto-calibrates when connected to the internet, but manual adjustment is more reliable. If you forget the steps, check the illustrated user manual on page 32 in the glove compartment - it's more intuitive than online tutorials. Remember to tap confirm to save the settings, otherwise the time will reset after turning off the engine.
Adjusting the time depends on the model year. The new Magotan's full touchscreen operation is super convenient: after starting the vehicle, swipe out the settings menu from the bottom right corner of the central control screen, and select the clock option in the system settings. For older models with physical buttons, you need to find the "clock" button on the center console, press and hold for three seconds to enter the time mode, and use the volume knob to adjust the numbers. I find it easiest to adjust the time during the day when the screen brightness is sufficient for clear visibility. After adjusting, take a short trip to let the system memorize the settings, so it won't reset after power-off. The car clock keeps time quite accurately, only deviating by a minute or two over six months.
