In this tutorial, you will learn how to adjust the time in a Smart ForTwo, a task to perform after a flat battery or after switching to standard or daylight saving time. First, turn on the instrument cluster, then locate the button on the right side of the dashboard and hold it down for about 3 seconds until the time starts to flash.

At this point, you can increase the minutes using the same button, or decrease them with the opposite button on the left side of the cluster. Once finished, avoid pressing any buttons for about 5 seconds, and the setting will be saved automatically.
