Are you trying to SET the time, or make it so that the time appears on the
dash? These are 2 different things. The manual will tell you how to set the
current time and date. THEN there is a option on what information displays
in the dash readout. You can have the time/date/fuel consumption 1/fuel
consumption 2/etc. If you have more than one item selected to display n the
dash, pressing in the stalk will cycle through these items one by one, and
OFF is another position. If you only have, say, time, pressing the stalk
will display the time, pressing it again will turn it off.
