I feel the same way about a lot of things. I had to replace the battery to my car key fob so I went to YouTube and put in the make & model of the car. Step by step directions were very easy to follow.

You might find the same for a car clock.

I actually forgot about changing my clock in my car until today when I happened to look at the clock as I was driving and noticed the wrong time ! That's also a part of aging ! When I stopped I hit the clock button on the dashboard display and changed the time. A screen came up with a arrow to move the time up or down. I have a 2013 Equinox. Hope you were able to set your clock or found your car's info on YouTube as someone mentioned.

I realized today that I did not change the time on the clock in my car from day light savings time.

Spent time looking how I could change the time on the clock. Pushed lots of buttons on the car but none of them were the right ones.

So I pulled out the owners manual (464 pages). Finally found the page regarding setting the time on the car's clock. It stated "go to the Multi-Media manual".

When I got the car I got 4 different owners manuals. And of course that is the one I can't find. I know "someone" looked at the manuals when I got the car. Now I can't find it.

It is pretty pathetic that I am unable to change the time on my clock in my car. I bought the same model of car that I previously drove. Except this one is newer.

I have the feeling I am too old to own this car. There are too many unknowns that I have not figured out. Really, I can't figure out how to change the hour on a clock? Bet if I ask the 15 year old neighbor, they would have no trouble.

just search for "how to change clock on a 2025 Rolls Royce" or what ever your car is

Cell phone is your friend for time. It resets itself automatically as does your computer. Of course, computer doesn't go everywhere you go but if you are like me, your phone does.

@drizzellla Did you puy your car from the dealer? iI so just take it in and I am sure that they will reset it for you at no charge.

I thought of that. BUT I ordered the car with one salesman. I had to wait over a month for the car to arrive. Then when the car came in, the salesman that took my order was no longer with the dealership. So another salesman "helped" me. (He was no help at all). He was busy with another person buying a car. It took over 6 hours to walk out with my car.

It seems no matter what I need done at the dealership - recall or oil change - it takes 3-4 hours. I can't help but think I will be wasting an afternoon on a 3 minute fix.

That is what I could do with my old car. Push a button right next to the clock display. One button was for minutes. One button for hours.

That seemed so reasonable but now I have to use the "infotainment screen".

Select “SETUP” > “GENERAL” > “Clock” from the on-screen menu.

And then cycle through the hours and minutes.

Some new cars have a Daylight Savings option to turn off or on, so some don't automatically set depending on your setting.

When I have any questions about my car I do as others have suggested, do a Google search.

Don't feel "old". My dashboard probably has as many guages as a military jet. I have NO idea what they mean. di

When my mom first got her push start car she couldn't figure out why the trunk kept popping open on the freeway. Her purse was in the trunk and the key was in her purse happily opening the trunk on the freeway. You don't need the key to open the trunk if the key is near the trunk, in case you didn't know.
