The quickest and easiest way to change the time is using the steering wheel controls. To do this, pick the “Settings menu, then scroll down to time. In addition to changing the hour and minute values, you can also activate the daylight saving time and 24 hour clock modes here.
Setting the clock in the infotainment system
The specific procedure may vary slightly based on the model year as models evolve over time. You might want to go into the infotainment system and alter the radio display even though many vehicles will change it automatically. For the Volkswagen Golf, do this by hitting the Menu button, choosing Setup from the touchscreen, and then selecting the Time and Date settings. The video shows the entire procedure.
On a VW Polo, how do you change the time?
Start the engine. The two buttons at the bottom of the instrument panel will be used.
For each hour needed, press the right hand button (labeled as 0.0/SET) within 5 seconds. The format of the clock is 24 hours.
To advance the minutes, press the button on the right hand side. One press per minute once more.
To finalize the setting, push the left hand button one last time. The number of days (490 in this example) and miles (9800 in this example) until the next service are displayed on the display. To return to normal or exit, press the left button once again. The display will disappear after 10 seconds.
