Clock Operation and Daylight Saving Time feature

[wiaitchison]

Daylight Savings Time has now come and gone, and the clock on my Model V did not change. I turned Daylight Savings Time off in Setup, but the clock still did not change.

Any ideas?

The clock does not have any setup functions. All it has are H and M buttons. These advanced buttons allow you to adjust forward the Hours and Minutes of the clock. I know this is an advanced and cutting edge feature, but with time and experience you will become adept at manually changing the time twice a year.

Seriously, it is surprising that a technologically advanced vehicle with an expensive GPS system requires manual clock setting, but it does.

Well, shoot, I didn't even thing to do a manual adjustment. I thought the Daylight Savings Time setting actually did something! Thanks for the tip.

Although all PCs automatically update the time of day, I do not know of any automobile clock that can do the same. However, there is no technical reason why this could not be done, especially for those vehicles connected to the outside world with onboard GPS systems.

On the NAV display there is an option for timezone and daylight saving time.

The strange thing is that the time to get there on the NAV also does not change with respect to timezone and you must change it manually each time you change a zone. (which is a poor design for a GPS system who knows where it is.)

So my question. What does the daylight saving time function do.

I see no place to enter the date so what effect (if any) does the daylight saving time setting actually do?

My Honda CR-V's clock changes to and from DST automatically.

Better yet, let's get rid of Daylight Savings Time.

This same basic question was asked in another Thread, and IraS answered that for those Prius equipped with Nav, the Time Zone and DST functions in the Clock Set Up was for the Clock readout in the Navigation screen, ONLY trouble is...we can't find it ANYWHERE in the Nav screen!

If ANYBODY knows where it's located on the screen, or what needs to be activated to make that display operable. PLEASE post it here!

Looking through the Nav manual, the only time that I see displayed is estimated arrival times when doing pre-route planning, etc.
