One of the problems of using any gadget these days is the lack of finer details in the user manual. They expect you to work it out from youtube. Indeed there is a how to video on virtually any and every gadget. I think the manufacturers know about it and don't invest in the manuals.
The problem with a car like Duster is that there aren't too many youtube videos on it. So I was really at a loss to find out how to adjust the time in the dash board clock. I had actually sent the car for a brake overhaul (they changed the front brake pads at 21,000 km). It came back with the time quite off on the clock. The intuitive thing to do is push the trip meter reset lever. And indeed that's the only thing to do. But when you do that the minute side starts flashing. So how to adjust the hour side?
I just couldn't work that out. The manual as usual was of no use. Nor did youtube have any entry on the subject. So I asked team-bhp after trying in vain for two days. The answer is you keep the lever pressed hard. First the minute flashes, then the minute side changes one by one like 12,13,14. Keep it pressed. It changes by 10s. Like 23, 33, 43 .... Then the hour side starts changing. The entire movement is one way. You cannot make it 3,2,1. If you want to change it from 3 to 2 you have to run through the entire 24 hour. It takes a few seconds really.
Once you do it, it obviously looks very simple !!!.If you don't you might need to spend the entire life time.
Mahindra XUV 500 has a series of official videos on youtube where they explain various small things for self driven owners. Renault doesn't seem to care, it seems.
