The time button on the Great Wall Pao is located at the lower left corner of the steering wheel. Below is an introduction to the related content of friction sounds when turning the steering wheel: Lack of oil in the shock absorber's plane bearing: Listen near the hood to see if the sound is coming from the top of the shock absorber. If the sound is from the shock absorber's plane bearing, you can apply some grease to the plane bearing. If the sound persists after greasing, replacement is the only option. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings not only cause noise when turning the steering wheel but also produce sounds when driving on uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims, but if they are damaged, replacement is necessary.

When it comes to setting the clock on the Great Wall Pao's dashboard, there really aren't any physical clock buttons! As an owner myself, I fumbled around before discovering you need to use the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Here's how: Start the car but don't drive, first press the VIEW button in the center of the directional pad twice to switch to the settings menu, then use the up/down buttons to find the clock option. The key here is using the left scroll wheel with +/- symbols to adjust the time - press and hold the wheel to switch between hour/minute modes. Don't forget to press the OK button on the right to lock in your settings. This hidden design felt counterintuitive at first, but I later realized it actually prevents accidental touches better than traditional buttons. By the way, the dashboard brightness can be adjusted in the same menu too.

Helped a friend adjust the time settings on the Great Wall Pao, which tends to get stuck at the first step. Make sure the vehicle is in ignition-on mode (engine off)—just press the start button without braking. The entire control area on the left side of the steering wheel is crucial. First, press the menu button (gear-shaped icon) with your left thumb to enter settings, then use the recessed circular button in the center of the directional pad to toggle options. When the clock icon flashes, rotate the textured scroll wheel on the left to adjust the numbers—apply gentle pressure, as pressing too hard switches between hour/minute settings. It’s easier to see the dashboard prompts at night. The design’s advantage is preventing accidental time changes while driving; once familiar, it’s more efficient than buttons.

When I first got the car, I couldn't find the time button either. All the controls are on the left side of the steering wheel: there's a four-way directional pad with a VIEW confirmation button in the center. After starting the car, press VIEW to enter the settings menu, select the clock icon, then use the left-side rotary wheel to adjust. The wheel is very responsive for changing numbers, but if you make a mistake, you'll need to re-enter the menu. A helpful tip: the settings menu automatically exits after 30 seconds of inactivity, so I recommend using a phone stopwatch for faster adjustment. Also note that the infotainment system time and instrument cluster time need to be set separately. If your infotainment is connected via Bluetooth to your phone, it's best to sync your phone time first before adjusting the instrument cluster.
