It’s not the safest option to constantly check the time on your watch or phone while driving, so that’s where the clock comes in handy. However, it can be bothersome to adjust the clock’s timing when daylight savings kicks in or while you’re travelling on the road. If you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz, whether it’s the older or newer Mercedes-Benz models, and are having troubles with adjusting your Mercedes-Benz clock, no worries as we got you covered in this post. Clocks for Older Mercedes-Benz Models For older Mercedes-Benz models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 116 and the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250, the clocks can only be set manually. There are two buttons to be pressed in order to change the timing on the traditional digital clock. You can find the clock either spread apart on the dashboard behind your wheel or close together on the radio console. If the clock is located on the radio console, one button will add hours while the other will add minutes. If the clock is on the driver’s display behind the wheel, you have to push down the left button and hold it till either the hours or minutes on the Mercedes-Benz clock flashes. After this happens, you can change the timing by pressing the right button. Push down the left button once again to switch from hours to minutes and eventually to off. Clocks for Newer Mercedes-Benz Models Considering that luxury cars should provide convenience, ease, and modern technology all in one package, you can expect nothing less with Mercedes-Benz. Recent Competition Mercedes-Benz models make it a whole lot easier for you to change the timing by placing a digital screen on the dashboard above the transmission. It can come in the form of menu buttons on the side or simply a touchscreen. These can be utilized for either basic sound systems or more complicated infotainment systems. Depending on your model, some infotainment systems can also automatically change the time as it’s connected to satellite or internet data. If it’s not, all you have to do is head to the Home menu, locate the settings, and go into the display. There, you should find the clock and time settings, and you can adjust accordingly. There should also be a list of features such as “Time Zone” and “Daylight Savings Time” that you can select for your convenience.

Contact Us There’s more to Mercedes-Benz than a high performing motor and luxurious quality. The backstory of the Mercedes-Benz logo we know today starts in 1909 and the history of the Mercedes-Benz name takes us back to an 11 year old girl in 1901. Delve into the history of this luxury brand to better understand its roots and find out how the logo we’ve come to know came to be. What Does the Logo Stand For? The three-pointed star that is the Mercedes-Benz logo represents the aspirations of Gottlieb Daimler, the founder of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, who wanted universal motorization of land, sea, and air. The three-point star is also said to be inspired by the identity of the mighty king of the jungle. If you look at a lion’s nose, you’ll distinctly notice the three-point design of the Mercedes-Benz logo, symbolizing that Mercedes-Benz are king of the automotive industry. Where Did it All Begin? Gottlieb Daimler began his motor company, Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, in 1883. Years later, in 1890, when Daimler passed away, his chief engineer, Wilhelm Maybach, brought a new partner, Emil Jellinek, to the company. Jellinek was a racing enthusiast and focused on perfecting the performance of their models. In 1901, Emil Jellinek insisted that the vehicles he wanted to buy from Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft to be named after his daughter, Mercedes. A year later, the newly registered trademark then read “Mercedes” and was used on most of the cars produced after. The three-point star logo was created in 1909. By 1926, Benz and Cie merged with Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft and changed their name to Daimler-Benz AG. The models from there on out sported the  Mercedes-Benz name we know today with a logo that encircled the three-point star with the name. The logo we’re familiar with now came to in to play in 2008.
