A HAH!

I entered the (idle) car, and switched the key to position 1, but did not move it to 2 to start the car.

Holding the right button for at least 5 seconds made the time blink (the manual said the colon; it did not say the whole time reading).

I used left and right buttons to adjust the time to my liking, and stopped pressing buttons. After a number of seconds, the blinking stopped.

Before turning the key off, I again pressed the right button -- and held it for way more than 10 seconds. No blinking occurred. Turning the key OFF, then back to 1, again enabled the "press and hold at least 5 seconds" behavior observed before.

I'll spend some time later exploring the larger time increments that the manual talks about, and write up a corrected procedure.

It's the digital time display on the instrument cluster panel, not the analog clock in a pod that comes with the tachometer/clock option.

Maybe a hyphen will help. It's the instrument-cluster clock.

I reset my clock on Sunday by putting the ignition in the one position and then holding the right button down and the time changed though I had to advance it 25 hours. Never touched the left button. Don't remember if I had to press the right button several times to activate it; I just played around with the right button only. Eric

once in the time change mode, the left button reverses the time, i went 2 hours ahead, then one hour back.
