I think you have to adjust the clock through the navigation, look for "SYS(system)" and you'll be able to see the Time Setting on the navi screen.

Had the same curiosity in my SL55; and figured it out over time (pun intended).

Yes, it must be set by going into the 'time' mode of the service menu on the Navigation screen. Then you simply select time as I recall.

Here's the catch; the time is set normally by satellite (really), and if you are inside, such as in your garage, it may not happen. So, back into the driveway; then enter the mode, and whalla.. the time will change if you enter the appropriate screen mode (for sure it might have been easier to have hour and minute buttons, but after all, this is a Mercedes:-}.. not sure why the complexity that's supposed to be simple; but that's how it is... GPS based.

enjoy! (SL55 the best car I've ever had, including 5 older SL's).

Guys, I am not talking about the navigation clock. I mean the Digital clock about 6" above the hazard light, toward the windshield, smack in the center of the dashboard.

Does anyone know how to adjust that?
