How To Adjust A Porsche Car Clock

Resetting your Porsche’s clock at least twice a year is necessary if you live in the United States. It is always a wise idea to plan ahead and to plan backward, i.e., spring and fall. When it comes to making this change, you might want to consider preparing your vehicle for the changing seasons as well.

In your Porsche, you can adjust the clock by accessing the Multi-Function Display and either the control lever found on the lower right side of the steering column or the rotary knob on the multi-function steering wheel. When you are ready to precede, stop, put your car in “Park” and engage the parking brake to ensure your safety.

This guide will show you how to adjust a Porsche car clock and all Porsche Panameras and 911 Carreras, Macans, Cayennes, Boxsters, and Caymans with PCMs including Navigation are subject to this process. Keep reading!

Step 1: Look for a Rotary Knob or Lever

A steering wheel rotary knob or a lever located on the lower right side of the steering wheel column may be used to control the dashboard’s multi-function display. This depends on your vehicle’s options.

The right side of the steering wheel will have a scrolling button for operating the multi-function display if you have a multi-functional steering wheel.

Do enlighten yourself about these controls by taking a moment to read through the instructions below.
