The trick for clocks in a lot of cars is you need to turn off the radio to do it. Many of the buttons are dual use they will change settings on the radio if it's on.

We had a 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 way back when. It had a very clever clock. Whenever you moved it forward, it figured that it had been running slow, so it would run a little bit faster.

So, very cool, eventually the clock would get more and more accurate overtime.

Except...DST. A one hour adjustment. It would just be getting back to accurate 6 months later. Rinse and repeat....
