The only function of the clock is to display the time in hours and minutes. The clock is integrated in the display in the tachometer.

Information is transmitted from the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) to the driver information module (DIM) (5/1) via the controller area network (CAN).

The customer can adjust the time using a knob at the bottom of the driver information module (DIM). During adjustment, the driver information module (DIM) transmits the new time to the central electronic module (CEM). The central electronic module (CEM) registers the change and updates its clock accordingly.

The customer can select the way in which the time is displayed:

• 12 hour clock. The time is automatically displayed with AM or PM
• 24 hours clock.
