Default How to change the time on analog clock?

Hey guys, anyone figured out how to change the time on the analog clock? There are two small buttons on the sides, but they don't seem to do anything when I press them. And in the menu, it only lets you change the digital clock. Is there another **** to adjust the time on the analog clock?

Changing the digital clock changes the analog clock as well.

I have never had to set the clocks, thought they were set by the GPS.

As was already said, my wife and I find the clock hard to read. The hands are too narrow.and it needs more light.

Looks pretty crystal clear to me and my vision is no longer 20/20

I find it hard to read in bright sunlight. Not enough contrast. However, at night it is easy to read.

It is set by GPS. But if you have daylight savings time, you have to turn on/off that when that switch around.

This is one of my complaints with the Lexus survey I did a month ago. Sure you can see the number markings but both hands are barely seen at night. Hence have to rely on the small digital clock on the small screen on the dash.

I was surprised that it could not automatically change daylight savings times. So 1980’s. I had to manually find the button and turn it off. Why would you add the feature of setting time by GPS, but not automatically change on daylight savings.

This should be the biggest complaint you ever have for any car. Sadly it probably won't be though.

Do all states observe daylight savings? I know in Australia that we have some states that do not observe daylight savings like Queensland, they're in the same time zone as New South Wales so don't know if GPS system can accommodate that automatically.

Some do not.

Arizona, except for Navajo Nation, Hawaii, and many of the US territories do not observe Daylight Savings. With GPS the car knows exactly in which part of a state it is driving and the date, so it could change the time easily. With the history of changing dates of daylight savings and some states wanting to avoid it, Lexus excuse apparently is just trying to avoid the software updates to keep up with the changes.
