Clock: Auto time zone

Is the clock supposed to auto change with the Time Zone?
My 07 E350 does, but my 08 GL does not seem to.

No, it does not. You need to go in the time menu and select the time zone manually. Once you do you will be asked also for daylight savings time on/off. This is for ntg2 cars. Not sure about ntg 2.5 (2009+)

What a pain.

I also did not see any DLS menu item.
When the time changed, I had to just set the hours manually.

the dls menu is not very intuitive. once you select (or reconfirm if already selected) the time zone, you will be prompted for dls.

I'll look again.

Funny is the '07 E350 sets time zone but does not do DST.
