How do you set the date and time in the display pannel?

Check out www.saabcentral.com.

I believe you hold down the clear and down arrow at the same time for like 4 seconds. This will get you into the date adjustment area. The time should be adjusted by 2 small round buttons directly below the time display. Mike

or you could go to www.saablink.net Very good place

go to the control panel on the dash....it is the turning button....not the stereo volume nob but the one above info......turn and select the appropriate part.
