We have to remember to change the time on all of the clocks we own when the clocks go ahead to British Summer Time on the last Sunday in March and back to Greenwich Mean Time on the last Sunday in October.
Here’s how to change the clock in all models that fall under the current range to try and make your life a little bit easier. The clocks can generally be divided into two groups: those that have physical adjustment buttons and those that use the Remote Touch Interface in the car.

Adjusting the time using physical buttons
There are physical buttons next to the clock display that can be used to change the clock on CT and IS models without satellite navigation.
Three buttons are situated next to the digital clock in the CT. Hours and minutes are represented by the two on the left, “H” and “M,” and pressing the corresponding button will move the corresponding digit. When the ‘:00’ button on the right is hit, the clock will be rounded to the nearest hour.
The IS has an analog clock with two tiny buttons on either side of it. If you want to advance the hands clockwise until the desired time is achieved, press the button on the right. If you want to move the hands counter-clockwise to advance the time, use the button on the left.
Adjusting the time using the Remote Touch Interface
The majority of brand-new Lexus cars don’t have physical buttons to change the clock. Instead, it is automatically adjusted to match the GPS of the navigation. Nevertheless, utilizing the car’s Remote Touch Interface, you may still change the settings or manually change the time.
Press the “MENU” button on the Remote Touch, choose “General settings,” and then “Clock.” Your time zone, whether or not you want daylight saving time to be in effect, and whether or not you want the clock to automatically adapt are the three options that you can set here.

Why is the clock in my car off?
If your car’s clock resets each time you turn it on, there may be a problem with the battery, fuses, ignition, or internal wiring. The easiest way to fix your car’s clock is to have it properly diagnosed by a mechanic.
Your clock’s issue is probably caused by a few different things, and each one needs a different solution. If one of these is making your clock reset, it might be wise to have your car serviced by a mechanic:
- Your clock’s power disconnect could potentially be caused by a dirty ignition switch. Every time you start your engine if the flow of electricity is interrupted, the clock may have to restart.
- If you have a fuse problem, it may be a sign that a blown fuse or a bad connection is preventing electricity from reaching your clock.
- Your battery is probably to blame. Every three years, car batteries should be replaced because they will begin to malfunction after that. When you start and stop your car, those glitches might be what resets your clock.
- The most challenging issue with the set is a wiring issue. Your clock may keep shutting off frequently if there is a wiring gap.
Your best option is to have a mechanic have a look so you can be sure, whatever the cause may be. Take advantage of the time you’re waiting for your car to be diagnosed to check out the Jerry app and see how much money you can save on your insurance rate.

The battery
sudden is a battery issue. The timepiece depends on a steady supply of electricity.
The connections at the battery terminals should be checked first. Perhaps over time, the parts became looser and briefly disrupted the connection.
Test the battery charge to make sure it’s still full if the battery connections are solid. Sometimes when the engine starts, a nearly empty battery would completely lose charge for a small period of time before regaining it. This might occur if it has been really cold, the car hasn’t been started in a while, or you have been fiddling with the electronics after the engine has been shut off.
