Default DST auto adjust

Why doesn't my clock automatically adjust via GPS? I have that option ON. Note I don't mean analog clock on dash, I know that one have to be adjusted manually.

Change your Daylight savings to On. (this is incorrect)

I thought that needs to be OFF when DST ends. I'll turn both back ON and see what happens.

The 'Auto Adjust Clock' feature is used when traveling in different time zones. With this feature turned On it will enable the clock to update the time based on where you are using GPS.

I believe it is used if you are in a state that has DST. I leave mine on and it automatically adjusts both clocks twice a year. (2018)
(this is incorrect, I had to turn it off to get the clocks to adjust)

Ah got it. Not all States observe DST. Makes sense now. Thanks guys!

I understand that beginning in 2016 the analog dash clock will [somehow] automatically adjust. I'm not sure if you just leave the 'Daylight Saving Time' On and it automatically adjusts, or if you have to turn it On or Off for the clock to advance or back-up one hour as needed.

The original question concerning the 'Auto Adjust Clock' feature is used for something entirely different. In the On position it will adjust the clock when traveling in different time zones. This feature will enable the clock to update the time based on where you are using GPS.

I stand corrected. You must turn on and off the Daylight Savings Time feature to have your clock adjust. I guess I just wasn't paying that much attention this morning. I noticed tonight when I left work that my clock was off by an hour. I turned off the DST and the clock adjusted itself. So to the original question, I don't know why your clock didn't adjust when you turned it off. Sorry for the bad info...
