To adjust the clock on a Volkswagen Golf, turn on the ignition by inserting the key into the ignition switch. Once the dashboard lights up, use the button located on the left side of the instrument panel.

Rotate it anti-clockwise to change the hours; conversely, rotating it clockwise will change the minutes. Once the correct time is set, turn off the ignition.

When you turn it back on, check that the change has been made correctly.
