Daylight Saving Time officially ends tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 2:00 AM. For those of us with 2013, 2014 and (I think) 2015 model year GS 350s don't forget that you have two (2) changes to make to your Lexus - (1) setting the Lexus analog dash clock back one hour, and (2) turning 'Off' the DST for the Navigation system. In the past, many owners were unaware that the Navigation system did not automatically change to, and from, DST.

(1) Change your Lexus analog dash clock by setting the time back one hour.

(2) Turn 'Off' the DST for the Navigation system. To turn 'Off' DST in the NAV system, go to Menu > Setup > General > System Time > Daylight Saving Time > Off > Save

With the correct time setup for your car's General System Time - it allows the Navigation system to provide an accurate Estimated Arrival Time to your destination...

Note: This 'On' and 'Off' Daylight Saving Time change is made in the General setup - not the Navigation setup.

Hope you enjoy the extra hour of sleep!

 

i really don't miss this being outside the US.

 

Good info, thanks.

 

I have a permanent fix for Daylight savings:

 

Daylight savings just needs to go away entirely...

 

And some people think Daylight Saving Time needs to remain year-round.

 

 

 

I see some pros and cons to both arguments, personally I'd rather it just go away as I'm up early enough every day that it doesn't really effect me. Military kinda put this permanent alarm clock in my head lol

 

Sure, there are definitely pros and cons depending on a wide range of both personal and family priorities, and also depending on what you enjoy doing and where you live - such as living close to a time zone line.

Personally, I prefer to have more daylight in the evening hours versus in the morning because I like the extra hour of daylight when I'm more inclined to be productive outdoors. I don't like it being dark around 5:00 in the afternoon when the days are the shortest.

 

Yep, I get it. And I'm quite the opposite, I get a ton of stuff done in the morning between about 5 and 8, nice to have more sunshine. To each their own, and appreciate you posting the info either way!

 

Appreciate your service to our country...

 

Thanks for the tip, didn't realize there was that second time... But, why? I've never even noticed the 'estimated time of arrival' and I do use the Nav 'somewhat' often. If anything, all I ever focus on is much much time it thinks drive will take... Guess I'll pay more attention the next time I trigger nav.
