I have 2020 C3 Aircross .
Happy with it , no problems .. but ..
How do I reset the time ? Clocks gone back an hour but not in my car .
Have read manual and pressed every possible menu on touch screen ,all to no avail . I thought it would just reset automatically but alas it doesn't.
Can anyone resolve my problem .. thanks in advance.

Ok, so you will only have the availability to change the date and time option if you do NOT have 'Synchronise with GPS' feature activated.

1) Go to SETTINGS
2) Press OPTIONS button - to go to the second page.
3) Choose SETTING THE TIME-DATE
4) Select either the DATE or TIME tab (Time in your case)
5) Make the adjustment.

The additional settings here are:
Change the time to either 12 or 24 hour display.
Turn on Summer / Winter time option
Activate or deactivate the Synchronise with GPS feature I mentioned above.

So it may be that you just don't have the winter / summer time option activated. Try checking this option first and it may negate the need to faff about with the time manually.

I had exactly the same problem. so here goes;
Press the time in top right corner, small wheel at the side of it.
Press "OPTIONS" you will see "Set time and date" on bottom of screen there are 2 options for "Date" or "Time"
There is a list of time zones, scroll through until you get "Dublin, Casablanca, London, Lisbon" select this.
Change/ "Daylight time and synchronise" to on.
Your clock will automatically change. You can set "Daylight time and synchronise" to off and manually change the clock.

As above but on the time page, select sync with GPS. SELECT summer winter OFF.
The clock set at top of this page will dim and you can't change it with GPS on. The GPS takes care of the time.

The small wheel and time is on the sat nav page . When I click on it all the options refer to map settings .

Put the music page up. Then press the little cog, top right of display.
Then press settings
Then press date & time.
Then advance to time.
Deselect summer winter
Select sync with GPS
PRESS green OK at bottom of page.
The top line with time on will go faint as you can no longer adjust time as GPS is selected.
Press back arrow at top to get out of settings or press music key or any other on edge of screen.

Here we go again, I was sure I'd sorted this but clocks went back but time in car didn't 🙄.
I've read through what beanee wrote last time as I'm sure that's what sorted it for me before.
I'll have to go through it again, maybe an update has changed settings back?
