Dashboard clock will not change hours

[lisa110rry]

Good morning, I have tried several seach queries to find some help on this on this forum, to no avail. Apologies if it's already been discussed.

When I bought my 1999 SLK 230 in Designo Electric Green (!) I joined this forum and introduced myself but since then have only read and lurked.

Since de-hibernating the car, at which point she needed a new battery, I have not been able to reset the dashboard clock. I can advance the minutes but the hour will not advance when I go from "59" to "00".

Am I doing it wrong? (At least it's not as annoying a fault as the one that befell a colleague with a 2007 CLK - his clock ran backwards and carried on doing so with the engine off!)

Regards,

Lisa

I think you do the hours separately to the minutes hence it goes 59 00.

Ahhh...so maybe I was doing it wrong! I do have an owner's manual but the print is so small I have difficulty reading it. Will see if I can get it on screen again to enlarge the print and check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Pull and twist the opposite way to set hours.

Oh thank you! Just got home, so pleased I looked at this before trying to find the answer in the owner's manual! I shall try that tomorrow morning.
