Maybe a stupid question, but I don't see any setting control for the onboard clock. Is that set by WWV radio? Somewhat mysteriously, there is nothing about "clock" or "time" in the manual index, or under 'instrument cluster" there. If you never ever need to set the clock, that would be nice. If that's the case, how does it know what time zone you're in? The manual for this car, and many other cars from different companies as well, is really not very user-friendly. Ah, then again, another possibility is that it is syncing with my phone, which knows everything. But that means that if you don't have the system coupled to a phone, your clock would be kind of useless.

 

What year/trim is your CX-5?

 

Sorry, it's a 2025 CX-5 2.5 S

 

My CX-5 syncs with GPS time.
Settings > System > Clock

 

OK, that WAS a stupid question. It's right there is "System Settings", both GPS selection and time zone, for "Clock". Don't know why I didn't see it before. Still baffling that there is NOTHING about it in the manual.

 

Oh, you mean the Infotainment/Settings menu that isn't called out in the manual.

 

My advice is to take the time to explore all the options in the infotainment menu and get to know your car.

 

Yes, that's the way to discover features that aren’t listed in your owner’s manual but are actually available in your car.

BTW: there is a manual which deals with the Mazda Connect infotainment system.
