These instructions apply to the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross Mk1 (JY) 2013-2021.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
The clock on the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (JY, 2013–2021) is set from the information display between the dials, using the small selector knob — not the audio unit. It’s a quick job after a battery disconnect or the daylight-saving change.
How to Set the Clock
- Switch the ignition to ON so the information display is active.
- Enter the display’s setting mode and select Clock setting (press and hold the info-display button to reach the menu).
- The hour highlights (reversed colour). Turn the selector knob left or right to change it — turn and hold to move quickly.
- Push the selector knob to set the hour; the minutes then highlight. Turn to set them, then push to confirm.
Don’t switch the ignition off or start moving while you’re in setting mode — it cancels the change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my S-Cross clock reset?
A disconnected or flat 12 V battery clears the time. Re-enter setting mode and set the hour and minutes with the selector knob.
There’s no clock button — how do I get to it?
The clock lives in the information display’s setting menu. Hold the display button to open the menu, then choose Clock setting and use the selector knob.
Can I switch between 12- and 24-hour time?
On models that offer it, the time format is in the same display settings menu; otherwise the display follows the region’s default.
The knob won’t change the numbers — why?
You’re not in setting mode, or the hour/minute field isn’t highlighted. Open Clock setting first so the digits show in reversed colour, then turn the knob.
If a warning light appeared after a battery change rather than just a reset clock, look the code up on autodtcs.com. See also our S-Cross battery guide.
