Several reasons could make you adjust the clock on your Cadillac. If you have changed the battery of your vehicle, this has the effect of resetting your clock back to its factory default. Battery disconnections can take place when the vehicle is being serviced. It can also be done when any repair that touches on the vehicle's electrical components is done. In such a case, you will need to reset the Cadillac clock. Another common reason is when you need to align your vehicle’s clock with daylight saving hours. Regardless of the reason your clock needs to be reset, here is a guide on how to go about this task.
If you reset the clock on your Cadillac, you should always ensure that you do it safely. You must ensure that you do not reset your clock while also operating the vehicle. The smart thing to do is to adjust the clock before you set off for your trip. Another way to do this is to pull up in a safe place and make adjustments before setting off on your journey again.
On the infotainment screen that controls the vehicle functions, look for settings. Under that menu, you should be able to find a particular setting marked ‘time and date’. Under this menu, the option of changing the date and the time will be used by the direction arrows.
If your Cadillac automobile has a touchscreen interface, you can simply press the direction arrows on the screen to adjust the time and the date. If your Cadillac vehicle does not have a touchscreen interface (such as with older models), then you can use the rotary dials and buttons to adjust. These typically mirror the same menu you will find on the touchscreen, so you should be able to do most of the functions described above.
Once you have adjusted the clock and date, you can exit the system and confirm that the clock is now reading the correct time. Remember that you will have the option to use the 12-hour mode or the 24-hour mode.
In some vehicles with GPS-enabled, it is possible for the vehicle to automatically update its clock settings based on the vehicle’s location. This, however, is not normally on by default, and you will need to enable it. Depending on your model, you may find this function in the settings menu on the same infotainment display. If it doesn’t work, you need to check whether the system displays your location correctly. If not, you may need to adjust the location manually for the system to pick up the correct time.
If any of these things don’t work, remember that you can always take your vehicle to a trusted Cadillac dealership, where they will fix any problems your vehicle clock may have.
