Default Am I doing this right?

With the recent time change, i noticed that my GS didnt follow the rules. I checked the clock setting and everything was where it should, time on auto, daylight savings on auto...but it was still on the old time. Do i have to turn off the daylight savings to get it to work? What am doing wrong?

I was wondering the same thing. It didn't seem to auto adjust and I had to turn off daylight savings time for it to go back 1 hour. Is that how it's supposed to work? If that's the case, what's the point of auto adjust if you have to do it manually?

because not all places follow daylight savings time, like arizona for example. i guess they could program the time to update based on the navigation location, but not all the cars have nav, so this is the next best thing. it's a lot better than some cars where you have these tiny little Hour and Minute buttons and have to go through 23 hrs to get to the right hour.

Mine updated. At first I thought my husband did it but he admitted he doesn't know how to work my car.

I don't know if it's something my sales guy did prior. He was playing with my car all day, which annoyed me a bit. But it was definitely changed Sunday morning when I got in the car.
