Select the 'My Vehicle' option on the car's display, then choose to enter the main menu content option. Select the 'Time and Date' option on the Mercedes-Benz E280's display, and click 'Next'. Enter the settings interface, first select the time zone, then choose the time display format. Swipe up and down on the left side of the screen to select the accurate hour and minute.
As a long-time driver of an older Mercedes-Benz, I often encounter situations where the clock needs adjustment. For the 2008 E280 model, the adjustment steps are quite straightforward. First, sit in the car and turn the key to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard, but there's no need to start the engine. Then, on the left side of the steering wheel, locate the cluster of small buttons, among which there's a menu button or display toggle button—depending on the model version, some require pressing buttons on the dashboard itself. Hold that button for a few seconds until the clock display on the screen starts flashing. Use the up and down arrows on the steering wheel to adjust the hour, press OK to confirm after moving, and repeat the same operation for the minutes. Once everything is set, press the confirm button to exit. It's worth noting that the clock resets after a battery replacement, so I make it a habit to check and adjust it immediately after changing the battery. I also double-check before summer or long drives to avoid distractions from an inaccurate clock while driving. The whole process takes a minute or two if everything goes smoothly, and it's perfectly fine to try a few more times if you're not familiar with it.
