Adjusting the time using physical buttons
The central console’s physical clock adjustment controls, which are situated on this particular model just beneath the clock display, are now only found on the Land Cruiser model.
Three buttons are located here: “H,” “M,” and “:00.” The ‘H’ and ‘M’ buttons advance the clock by one hour and one minute, respectively, when pressed. The button marked “:00” rounds to the nearest hour.
Adjusting the time using in-car menus
To reach the proper settings menu on models where the clock is a component of the multi-information display in the instrument cluster, utilize the steering wheel buttons.
Start by pressing and holding the ‘DISP’ button on the steering wheel to activate the adjustment mode while your car is still moving.
By pushing and holding the “DISP” button, choose “CLOCK.” Every time you push the “DISP” button, the hours will be highlighted and the clock will go forward by one hour. Use the same procedure to set the minutes after waiting five seconds to validate the hours. Wait five more seconds after setting the minutes before checking the time.
The Aygo equipped with a multimedia system similarly has a menu-based method for changing the clock. Press the “Menu/Select” knob to start, then choose “SETUP,” “GENERAL,” and “Clock” from the menu that appears on the screen. The next page allows you to change the 12- or 24-hour time format as well as cycle through the hours and minutes and set the minutes to 00.
