Daylight Savings Time (DST)

Wouldn't "Daylight Savings tine On" be an automatic setting? For most electronics it is and will toggle between the two settings as the time changes.

 

I think "Daylight Savings Time On" means that the area you are in honors DST, so the display should switch in and out of DST at the appropriate time. For example, Arizona does not honor DST, except on the Navajo Reservation. The other interpretation is whether DST is in effect right now. But the label is ambiguous as to which interpretation is intended, and I could be mistaken.

 

I have a PiPA and I'm also an hour off as of recent. The "Page 197" reference must be for the base model PiP, because Page 197 in the PiPA Navi manual is audio set up, with no information relating to the Navi clock or DST.

Can someone with a PiPA help out with setting the Navi clock and DST? Thanks!

 

I still have the question: Does setting this ON mean that the system automatically applies DST based on the calendar and the current rules as to when DST is in effect, or does it mean to manually apply or not apply the DST offset without regard to the calendar?

 

Thanks, Tideland Prius. Your information helped me out.

To be more accurate, on my PiPA the buttons used to get to the settings are:

Setup (hard key to the right of the Navi display)
General (soft key)
System Time (soft key)
Daylight Saving Time (soft key)
(choice of on or off)

By the way, it should be "on" now, because daylight savings began on March 10th, 2013. I don't know if "on" means the car will automatically calculate when to add or subtract an hour. We'll find out later this year on November 3rd! Until then, happy PiP'ing!
