Clock

Note:

The date is set by your vehicle’s GPS; you cannot manually set the

date.

Note:

If the battery has been disconnected, the vehicle needs to acquire

a GPS signal to update the clock. Once your vehicle acquires the signal,
it may take a few minutes for the update to display the correct time.
1. Press the Settings icon > Clock.
2. Press + and − to adjust the time.

From this screen, you can also make other adjustments, such as 12– or
24–hour mode, activate GPS time synchronization and have the system
automatically update for daylight savings time and new time zones.

You can also turn the outside air temperature display on and off. When
the outside air temperature is displayed, it appears at the top center of
the touchscreen next to the time and date.

Once you update any settings, they are automatically saved.

Display

You can make adjustments to the touchscreen display through the
touchscreen or by pressing the voice button on your steering wheel
controls and when prompted, say “Display settings”.

Press the Settings icon > Display, then select from the following:

Brightness

allows you to make the screen display brighter or dimmer.

Mode

allows you to set the screen to a certain brightness or have the

system automatically change based on the outside light level.

If you select AUTO or NIGHT, you have the options of turning the
display’s Auto Dim feature on or off and changing the Auto Dim
Manual Offset feature.

Edit Wallpaper

You can have your touchscreen display the default photo or upload
your own.

Uploading Photos for Your Home Screen Wallpaper

You cannot load photos directly from your camera. You must

Photographs with extremely large dimensions (i.e., 2048 x 1536)

may not be compatible and appear as a blank (black) image on the
display.
