Time not automatically changing?

Since we just switched time I had assumed that the mini would be smart enough to reset the time, since it wants to know what time zone you are in (we have Nav). Am I missing something? The owners manual does not say.

I had to manually change mine this morning. I thought it might change
automatically as well but NOT. I ran through the stalk for INFO SET and there's nothing
on the clock setting that indicates day light savings time.

You need a calendar to change DST. If it does have one, then it is pretty sad they don't have a DST autochange setting.

If you lived in Arizona, you wouldn't have this problem.

But, seriously, it's really easy to change the clock one hour either way. And, with Daylight Savings Time moving around the calendar, even if the MINI CPU had a calendar, it wouldn't know when DST begins from year-to-year.

My wifes Nissan Juke 2011 has a DST on/off button.
I am surprised Mini doesn't have one.
Oh well, no big deal.
