3.1.3.1. Changing time and date  
You can manually change the time, date and local time zone in settings.

can also manually change these yourself as well as the time format in settings.  
1. Press the car symbol  
in the bottom bar and go to Settings.  
2. Go to System → Date and time.

language.  
Important
