How to Set the Time on a Mercedes ML320?

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Clock

To reset the clock on a Mercedes ML320, for example after switching to daylight saving time, follow this short video tutorial showing how to proceed. Start by turning the key to one position and switch on the instrument cluster. Locate the button to the right of the speedometer, pull it out and simultaneously turn it anti-clockwise to change the hour, and clockwise to change the minutes. Being an older model, you may need to apply some force while turning as the contacts may be worn. Once the time is set, release the button and return it to its standard position.
