Default Clock display

Just purchased a 2011 Carrera base. I'm in the process of familiarizing myself with the controls and to that end I have read through the owners manual.

Anyways I have a question related to the clock display. I have set the clock for the 12-hour format. Per the owners manual, and some additional on-line reference information that I found, the clock display now shows a small square representing AM or PM.

So as the hour changes to 12 the little square on the right moves up or down correspondingly with changing from AM to PM or PM to AM.

Question is this - is AM represented by the square towards the top of the display or the square on the bottom of the display? The square is small enough where I can't tell (and yes I do wear glasses with a recent prescription).

Thanks, Dennis

P.S. I'm **** enough where I want to get the set up correct even if the letters are too small for me to read.

mine is an '07, the bottom dot is Pm, top dot Am. You can also look at the clock in the PCM screen when you change the dot up or down & it'll show you if its Am or Pm.

This is hilarious. For my two watches that don't show a date, how would I set those for correct AM/PM?

Then, you're going to really get bugged when you realize that the clock doesn't keep good time. Mine loses a couple minutes every month or so.

And yes, it really bugs me...

You should have ordered the car with navigation. The GPS satellites keep the clock on perfect WWV time!
