Kia Sportage, Clock: How to Set the 24-Hour/12-Hour Format

Model: Kia Sportage QL, MK 4 - Years 2016-2022
Part: Clock

On the Kia Sportage, switching between the 24-hour and 12-hour format is done directly from the on-screen menus, as shown in the video. With the vehicle stationary and the ignition on, access the system settings and navigate to the Date/Time section; from here, select the time format option and choose 24h or 12h, confirming the change. Once the setting is saved, the time displayed on the screen immediately reflects the new format. If the option is not visible on the home page, scroll through the sub-sections of the Clock until the format selector appears. Finally, check the update on the instrument cluster.
