How to Adjust Daylight Savings Time

As the seasons change, so does the clock! Daylight Saving Time can sneak up on all of us, but thankfully, adjusting the time in your 2026 Kia Sportage is quick and easy. Whether you’re setting your clock forward in the spring or back in the fall, here’s how to make sure your Sportage displays the correct time.

1. On your touchscreen’s homepage, select “Setup.”
2. Tap “General.”
3. Choose “Date and Time.”
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu.
5. Turn “Daylight Saving Time” on to move the clock forward, or off when it’s time to fall back.

That’s it! Your Sportage’s system will automatically adjust the time for you.

Why It Matters

Keeping your vehicle’s clock accurate isn’t just about punctuality, it ensures your navigation system, scheduled features, and Bluetooth-connected devices all stay in sync. A few minutes spent updating your settings can make every drive feel smoother and more convenient.

Pro Tip: While you’re in the Date and Time menu, take a moment to verify that your time zone and automatic time updates are set correctly.
