Clock Setting Information
(December 2016 TechTIPS)
:
CAUSE:
With the release of the 2017 Impreza Harman Gen 3 SUBARU STARLINK™ 6.5”
Multimedia System and SUBARU STARLINK™ 8.0” Multimedia Navigation systems, there have
been inquiries about the clock adjustment. There are two different modes of adjustment available:
Automatic and Manual.
Figure 1
shown here is an excerpt from the 2017 Impreza Owner’s Manual
describing both modes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Automatic setting of the clock is accomplished differently between the
navigation and non-navigation systems. As shown above, the navigation system will automatically set
the time according to GPS location. Non-navigation systems utilize a paired smartphone connected
via Bluetooth to accomplish the automatic setting. During the PDI process, it is recommended to
manually set the clock on non-navigation models. This will ensure the correct time is displayed
and allows the opportunity to show the customer the automatic feature should they choose to use it.
Please review the Owner’s Manual for the applicable manual clock setting procedure.
