Clock reset

I have a 2005 sport sedan. Does the digital clock in the instrument panel automatically reset itself for the spring forward/fall back time change?

Thanks.

2005 C230K Sport Sedan, 6 speed manual

My car (2005 C230K) has an automatic clock reset feature. It is calibrated to European daylight savings time. I think this is the same in all W203's. The reset can be turned on and off. Go into the settings section using your steering wheel buttons. It is not impossibly complicated, but you will have to go through the menus and submenus. I went ahead and turned mine off, since the dates are no longer accurate to spring-forward or fall-back.

I thought this feature was nice, but it is now useless with the new time changes. Grrrr....
