You have to keep pressing the button in and it will change. Just takes a few seconds.

Get Michael J. Fox to drive it around a bell tower while a wacky haired scientist zaps it with lightning. That's usually what I do.



hold the button down.

According to my 04 owners manual,

Setting the Time
Press and hold HR until the correct hour appears on
the display. Press and hold MN until the correct minute
appears on the display.

Word for word

How long do I have to go in reverse to get the clock to go back an hour? Tried the battery but the time stayed the same. Am I to disconnect my 9 volt too?

Thanks for all the great advice?
