Hey all,

So this is a bit embarrassing for a first post, but I've come to the realization that I have no clue how to adjust the time on my clock. I've tried every combination of holding things down and pressing things simultaneously - as well as attempting to use the search feature on here, but to no avail.

Here's a link to a quick pic of the clock:

If anyone has any ideas I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks,
Dave

From the handbook, that should be with your car:
"If the power has been interrupted (flashing dot) the time can be input keys h/dat and min/dat without pressing the hour key first. to input the date, press the Date key first.
Every time an input key is pressed, or every half second a key is held in, the numerical value increases by one.
To start the clock to within an accuracy of one second, press the Hour key. Star tthe date program by pressing the date key. The dot then stops flashing.
To make subsequent corrections, press in hour or date, until a dot starts to flash between the digits.
If the clock or date program is not started after making a new input, but a different display is selected instead, the original display is retained."
