Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one hour. Why is this? The clock is being auto matically set based on your GPS location. If you live and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this feature. See page 94.
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr oximated in the system. Depending on the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can be erratic. See page 94.
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page 93.
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did not change time even though Setup shows Auto Daylight Saving Time is On.
Go to the Clock adjustment screen in Setup and select DST Selection. Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see Clock Settings on page 93.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates. Why is this?
1) Go to the Clock adjustment screen in Setup and ensure that Auto Daylight Saving Time is On. 2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen. Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information, see Clock Settings on page 93.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see Auto Time Zone by GPS on page 94). 2) The navigation system does not switc h between standard and daylight saving time. Set Auto Daylight Saving Time to On on the Clock adjustment screen in Setup, and ensure that the correct month switching schedule is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page 93 for more information.
