One minor inconvenience that can throw off your day is having the incorrect time on your vehicle’s clock. If you notice that the clock in your Volkswagen vehicle is inaccurate, you should update it to the correct time as soon as possible. Twice a year, Ohio follows daylight saving time, where you’ll likely need to adjust your clocks if they aren’t set to do so automatically. If you’re unsure how to do so, don’t worry, the process is quick and easy, and you can have your clock on time before you know it.

How to Change the Clock on Your Volkswagen

Updating your VW vehicle’s clock allows you to get the maximum benefit out of your vehicle’s internal time system. The best way to learn how to change your vehicle’s clock is always to consult with your owner’s manual, as it may have information more directly customized to match your exact make and model. Fortunately, if you don’t have your manual available, this general guide can help you set the clock on your VW vehicle:

  1. Turn your vehicle on, as your VW vehicle’s onboard entertainment center needs running power to operate.
  2. Choose “Menu” on your touchscreen display, then choose the “Clock” option to pull up your VW vehicle’s current clock settings. 
  3. Press “0.0/Set” to increment your timer by one hour per press. Continue pressing the button until you have set the correct hour.
  4. Choose the “Menu” option and click on the “Lock” button to confirm your setting and lock it in place.
  5. Press “0.0/set” to increment your timer by one minute per press. Continue pressing the button until you have the correct time.
  6. Use your touchscreen and onboard systems freely, as your time is now locked in with the correct entry, and you do not need to hit another button to confirm.

One significant benefit of the internal clock system of Volkswagen vehicles is that it integrates with all internal timing needs. In addition to updating your display clock, any internal timer systems operating off your system clock will automatically adjust to the new time setting. This makes it quick and easy to get all of your systems aligned.
