How to set the clock on a Smart 451

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

The Smart 451 has two clocks that are not linked. One is digital and found on the instrument cluster display, while the other is analogue and located at the centre of the dashboard. The video shows how to adjust the time on both. Start with the digital clock. After turning on the instrument cluster, press and hold the lever to the right of it for a few seconds. Release it when you see the digital clock flashing. Now, repeatedly press the same lever to scroll through the minutes until the correct time is displayed. To adjust the analogue clock, rotate the pins located on its back.
