Hello everyone! Today, you will see an adjustment that may seem trivial but can sometimes be more complicated than expected. We are in a Smart Fortwo, and we are going to adjust the time on our digital display.

First, turn on the display, then press and hold the button in the bottom right, below the red light that looks like an exclamation mark. Hold it for several seconds (many people press briefly and give up thinking it doesn't work) until the time starts to flash.

Now release the button for a second and press it again. This will make the time advance quickly.

When you reach the correct value, release the button.
