Here you go, in steps:
- Get in the car, shut the door, and turn the key to the first position (so the warning lights come on), but don't start the engine.
- To the left of the hazard light switch are three buttons: two have symbols for headlight up/down, and one says 'set' (it also has a little 'return' symbol on it)
- Press 'set' once, and at the top of the digital display in the instrument panel, the word 'menu' should appear.
- The buttons either side of 'set' are the up/down buttons for that menu. Press 'up' and you will step through the options: dimmer > buzzer ...etc.
- Keep pressing until 'Set Time' appears.
- Now press 'set' again which confirms you want to set the time (in this case it acts like an 'ok' or 'return' button).
- Use the up/down buttons to set the clock to the right time - keep pressing and it will go though faster. Press 'down' to go backwards if that is nearer the time to be set.
- Once correct time shows, press 'set' to fix it. This will return you to the menu.
- Press 'up' again and the menu will show 'Set Date'
- Press 'Set' to confirm you want to change the date and use the up/down and 'set' buttons to set it. Press 'set' at the final stage to 'fix' it and return to the menu.
- To exit the set up menu, either press up/down until 'Exit menu' shows (and press "Set" to accept this), or just wait and it will exit by itself.
Other options in that menu let you set the brightness of the dash (the 'dimmer' option) - again, up to get to it, then 'set' to say you want to alter the setting, up/down to dim or brighten, 'set' to fix it (and return to menu). You can set the volume of the 'low fuel' and ice warning 'beep' (that's the 'buzzer' setting), and also choose whether the car locks itself as you start driving (the 'autoclose' option)
Some of the menu options are disabled if the engine is running.
Also, those buttons set the height of the headlight beam:
If the headlights are turned on with the engine running, pressing 'up' or 'down' (
without pressing 'set') adjusts the headlight angle. This is shown in the centre of the digital display, with a 0, 1, 2 or 3 next to the symbol of the headlight. Should be on zero most of the time, unless you put an elephant in the boot, where you can set it down a bit (to 1, or 2 at most) to compensate for the weight tipping the front of the car up.
To other the earlier replies: there are no buttons on side of instruments (that was old model Panda), and no 'self set' from the radio - no Panda has done that.
