Can anyone give me help on setting/adjusting the clock on a 2016 Freighliner daycab?
I was able to go through the menu on the central LCD display between the Tach & Speedo, but all I found were settings for Daylight Savings and timezone. There aren't any books/manuals in the truck. I am hoping this 2016 daycab dash is similar to OTR trucks and one of you have one of them.
Thanks

This question has been asked before. And from what I remember about that thread, you're going to need a witch, a rabbi, a priest, and a really big hammer. Good luck.

Hold down title/menu button. Use the cat buttons to move to clock. Hit 6(ok) to adjust.

for this, you need an 11 year old kid

That's to change to 24 hour time. Setting the clock requires a voodoo priest trained in the seven dark arts, the blood of seven virgins ( 2 male, 5 female) killed under the light of a blood moon, a silver blade forged in the year 1327 (preferably the first half) and a half empty bag of Purina puppy chow.nextgentrucker and tarmadilo Thank this.

Driver. Your only options are timezone and 12/24 hours. Just select the time zone to match your time
-
Thanks, but I don't have buttons anywhere marked title/menu or cat. On the steering wheel I have +, -. On the dash I have Return, and Back.

Thanks. I was able to set the correct timezone and 12/24. But the clock was still 6 hours behind correct time. It's a replacement truck. Asking other drivers usually generates "It has a clock?"

The correct answer is have a mechanic go into the ECM and change it. Some of the dash configurations are factory set, and when a Qualcomm or similar system is installed, the ECM is reset to midnight, starting the time there. So unless they reset your system at midnight, your clock is forever off until you can get into a shop to get it fixed.

The keywords being SELECT THE TIMEZONE TO MATCH YOUR TIME. not the timezone to match your timezone.
The clock requires one of them laptops loaded with the diagnostic software. $15,000 i think that software costs.
