Push or Pull (I can never remember which) the turn knob and turn clockwise or reverse depending on which way you want the clock to go.

There should be two knobs under the dash next to each other, one is for the mileometer and one is for the clock.

An easy way to remember which one is which is that the one for the clock is always the one that you think is for the mileometer and the one you think is for the mileometer is always the one for the clock - always...

My clock works when the battery is too low to start the car. When the battery has enough charge to start the car, the clock stops.
