Will the LED clock adjust itself in the Prius after Daylight Savings Time?

Or do I manually have to change this clock? It would be a shame if you had to adjust it manually.

Excellent question....... actually since I've only had my car a year, I've only had this situation once, and quite frankly I can't remember. I'm guessing we have to set the clock manually. I really don't think the software does this for us. I'm making this assumption because when Toyota ships the cars here, they dont know where they will end up. I could buy my car in Cali, and live here in the east coast.

Of course, its early here and I'm on my second cup of coffee, so I could be completely wrong. I'm just happy I haven't driven off without unplugging my EBH yet this season!!

It does not change automatically, you will have to reset it.

The LED clock is not connected to the computer and is manually adjusted.

Is the date programed into the system except the GPS?

You're kidding, right? Pushing the "H" button doesn't involve that much work.

The car magazines in Norway have been laughing at the clock in the Prius.
Here you have one of the most advanced cars in the world, and they put in a 80's digital clock in there!
It really seems out of place in the otherwise futuristic design.

It is odd, and as you can never see the time on the clock without powering up the system to some extent why wasn't it included in the LCD display graphic? Only reason I can think of is the display can be turned off. Why isn't it an LCD clock? When I think about it I think my 1990 camry had the same clock.

You have to adjust it manually. The reason this piece of s**t powers off so quickly is because it sucks so much battery. Just try touching after driving it for 10min. The area above it gets hot! Yes the MFD was off the whole time. I miss that part of my jetta

For the US market it would make sense to have an automatic "Atomic Clock". These automatic clocks are available everywhere now, wristwatches to alarm clocks, and don't cost much now. The problem is that it might have trouble picking up the radio signal inside a car. But if it were integral to the radio/mfd... they could easily utilize the radio antenna on top. Yes, that decision on the cheesy clock has been discussed here before, would be interesting for the engineers to tell us why they went with that clock. As has been said before, it might be just so there is something to complain about... like the dim lights in steering wheel controls.
