Prius clock accuracy

I never have to reset my clock either, but then again I nver have to set the clock on our Chevy Venture either.

 

My experience is like yours. I've had my car since February 2007, and through 6 standard time/daylight savings time changes now the only thing I have to adjust is the hour numeral. Haven't had to change the minutes numeral ever.

But I've read others say that they've had a different experience than yours and mine.

 

There some really good crystal oscillators out there now, devide by, devide by, you eventuly end with a very stable 60 Hz reference which is the timebase reference the clock chip uses. The only time you might see some error, is if the devide by circuitry does not give you that exact 60 Hz reference due to a very extreme heat or cold condition, the Quartz that is the basis of the oscillator circuit can aso be temp touchy. That being said, they usually have a usable temp range the exceeds what we as eathlings tolerate!!

 

The Prius emits a field which alters the perception of the truly devoted. Your clock may be off, but you can't tell. Tony, on the other hand, has become jaded.

I do admire the Red Outfit he dons for the Avatar pic......

and he may be a few seconds phased shifted from this space time continuum and or reality.... That could explain the clock losing seconds thing...[

 

As part of the cost reductions in the 2010, I got a significantly sloppier quartz crystal. Reset it last week, it had gained about 135 seconds in 3 months.

 

I have a 2010 and have not had to reset the clock since I bought it. I have one of those atomic clocks at the house and set my watch by it and then compare to the Prius clock.

Has not lost any time in five months.

 

I listen to the Sirius traffic channel and the time is always on the button. I think they look at my clock and then announce the time over the radio.

 

I think I bought a lemon. I was just thinking of coming here to complain that my clock loses time. I don't think to check it every month and reset it, so I'm late to appointments all the time and don't even realize it. I had to add 4 minutes to it yesterday to get it correct.

With all this advanced technology, you'd think they could have a more accurate clock.

 

And being a car dealership, they will time it by counting.

My dash clock is acurate, but for some reason the NAV system is one hour ahead. When I set the destination on a trip, it displays the arrival time as off by one hour. (It says we are going to arrive before we even start.) Does anyone know how to adjust the clock setting on NAV system?

 

Gee, the clock in mine always seems to end up running fast. But I don't mind too much... Won't be late for an appointment. I generally live with it until next time change and fix it then.

 

Nav menu: set the time zone and daylight savings settings.
