This guide shows how to set the clock on a Volkswagen Passat/Jetta with the display in the dashboard and controls on the steering wheel (like the 2017 model in the video). Turn on the ignition, press the "ok/view" button located at the centre of the right switch.

Use the left/right arrows on the same switch to navigate through the menu until you find the "settings" option. With the down arrow, scroll through the information until you find "clock" (or "set time"). Press "ok" to enter and use the up/down arrows to adjust the hours and minutes.

Confirm by pressing "ok" again. In models with a large screen, the clock is set automatically via GPS and does not require manual adjustment.

If the time is incorrect, check in the "settings" that the time zone is correct.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
