Help Setting Dash Clock S80.

Hello, we just purchased a 99 S80. There was no owner's manual in the
car so i'm not sure how to set the dash clock. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you....mitch

 

Turn the knob under the clock cw or ccw

We've tried that with the car running and the car off with just the
ignition on and it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

 

Takes a few seconds for it to start moving, but that's the way to do it.

 

yep...twist anf hold it...the clock will start to change...release when
you have arrived at the correct time...

 

l@@k for a manual on ebay...it will answer
many questions that will come up...

 

Unfortunately, that's what we did. We held it cw for a whole minute and
nothing and then counter clockwise for a minute and nothing. Any other
ideas? I think it's broken.

We have a bid on a manual for a 2000 hoping there aren't too many
changes between 1999 and 2000 since we can't locate a '99 manual.

 

If it truely is broken disconnect the the battery and reconnect it at 12:00,
atleast the time will be right!

 

Make sure you know the radio code before you do this.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
(But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)

 

my 2000 manual under the topic "clock" states > >

"clock/reset button" > >

turn the button to adjust the clock

note: i am not sure what they mean by "reset", unless
they are refering to re setting the service required notice...then
i think we use the clock button (with another one) to reset the
lamp....

 

It worked!!! We weren't turning it hard enough. We didn't want to break
it so we weren't forcing it so we never hit that "click" that made it
start moving. Oh so easy! Thanks for all your help.
