Step-by-Step Guide to Setting the Clock

1. Access the Settings Menu

Start by pressing the “Enter” button on your Subaru’s infotainment screen. You’ll need to toggle the screen either up or down until you see a message that says “Press and hold Enter”.

2. Hold the “Enter” Button

Press and hold the “Enter” button until the screen changes. The first screen that appears will be highlighted with the “Time/Date” option.

3. Adjust the Date and Time

Now, press Enter once to begin adjusting the time and date. You’ll start with the month setting. If the month is incorrect, press Enter once again and toggle the up or down arrows to select the correct month.

4. Change the Day and Year

After setting the month, you’ll need to adjust the day. Toggle up or down to the correct day, and then press Enter to select it. Next, toggle down to adjust the year, press Enter, and then use the arrows to adjust the year to the correct value.

5. Adjust the Hour Format

Next, toggle down once more to choose between 12-hour or 24-hour format. Select your preferred option and press Enter.

6. Set the Hour and Minute

Now, it’s time to set the hour. You’ll notice that the system uses military time (24-hour format) to help distinguish between AM and PM. Once you’ve selected the correct hour, press Enter again. Next, toggle down to adjust the minutes and press Enter when they’re correct.

7. Finalize the Settings

To complete the process, toggle down to “Set” and press Enter. This finalizes the time and date settings in your 2018 Subaru Forester.
