How to set the time on a 2009 Citroen C3 Picasso

Model: Citroen C3 Picasso MK 1 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Clock

Let's see how to adjust the date and time on a Citroen C3 Picasso first series, base version, that is, on one that does not have the original Citroen radio, but an aftermarket model. If the car loses memory after disconnecting the battery, the date and time will reset to January 1, 2007 00.00. We get in the car and close the doors, turn on the ignition and press the "menu" button several times to scroll through the options until "vehicle configuration". We continue scrolling to "headlight configuration": It's strange, but it's the option that controls the date and time! Confirm, and with "ok" we select and modify a value, using the arrows to scroll and change the numbers; we will start with the year, then the month, the day, the hour (24-hour format) and then the minutes. We will be asked to confirm the 24h format or switch to the 12h format. Press the "Esc" key and we're done.
