@drizzellla , I changed the time on my 2025 model yesterday.  These new cars have many controls that are voice command.  So...I told it to change the clock time.  It answered that it was not set up to do that yet.  I tried again and it displayed the visual prompt to reset the clock so I put it on 'auto daylight savings time" so now it should do that automatically.

These voice commands are interesting to learn.  Sometimes you have to ask a couple of different ways to get the result you want.  I choose to learn because it is a distraction to play with the buttons.

Once you do find out how to change the time on your car (if you do!😉), check to see if it has an option to change itself automatically.  I found this out on mine just the other day when I changed the time on my car.  I've had the car for a couple of years now and just now discovered it.🤦‍♀️

My old car is easy: two buttons on each side of the analog clock.  One makes the clock go forward, one makes it go backward.  Whether the car is running or not.  👍

See if the manual has instructions for changing the time, it probably does!

She has 4 manuals, one of them refers her to the multi-media manual which she doesn't have . OP, I get it and I better check my clock... I didn't notice if it reset automatically. I remember having a car and just left the clock alone because it was a pain to do. What happened to the days when you could just pull the stem and reset it? 🤣

I had  the low air pressure (for tires) come on recently. After putting air in the tires, the info wouldn't go away and it was blocking my odometer. I looked thru the book and googled it and nothing that anything was telling me worked. I finally called the dealship and it was in the little menu icon on the steering wheel. All this stuff used to be so much easier.

My car is so old that I don't have to worry about most of these electronic things. Everything is pretty much old-school push-button 'technology'. 

However, I bought a new electric lawnmower just recently. Now that's a whole different story.   I couldn't figure out how to start the dang thing...LOL!

My truck is a 99 and I gave up on changing the clock. At least it's right 6 months out of the year! 

I used to know how to do it but not anymore.

Reminds me of the old joke.....a broken clock is right twice a day.  ⏰

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.

OK - looked up how to set clock in Google and got the above directions.

Went out to the car - after pressing lots of buttons - I now have no clock showing.

Daylight Savings had been pressed in addition to Eastern time. So since we are no longer on Daylight Savings, I clicked it off. Looked for the clock and it is no longer displayed.

Guess I have to go to the dealer. I can handle a clock off an hour but I do need a working clock. 

I should have just learned to subtract an hour until March.

As posted. YouTube is your friend.  My car is so old, there are buttons on the radio which control the clock, hour and minutes, when the radio isn't turned on.  I press the clock button then the hour or minute buttons.
