Setting the time in the first series Smart, the 450, is a very simple operation. This is because the vehicle does not have a digital clock or one integrated into the instrument panel but has a dedicated dial.

Start the operation. Enter the vehicle and turn the key to position 1 to power the instrument panel.

Now locate the clock, which is in the right binnacle, above the hazard light button. Once done, adjust the time using the controls located behind the instrument until you reach the desired time to display.
