Clock Adjustment on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Clock

To adjust the clock on the instrument cluster of your Smart, start by turning on the ignition using the appropriate key. To your right, at the lower corner of the instrument cluster, you will notice a button: press and hold it until the time starts flashing. At this point, release the button and press it again if you need to increase the time (for example, from 4:00 to 5:00), or press the left button if you need to decrease it (for example, from 4:00 to 2:00). It's that simple! Turn off the ignition and turn it back on.
