Why is the quartz clock in Mercedes-Benz S350 not synchronized?

This can be set manually or synchronized with the network. If the issue persists, simply restarting the system should resolve it. Standard Configuration: It sets new benchmarks in power performance and emissions, demonstrating that fuel efficiency doesn't have to come at the expense of other aspects. The hybrid drive system of this model combines a powerful six-cylinder gasoline engine with a high-torque electric motor, operating economically to minimize environmental impact. When paired with optimized aerodynamics, kinetic energy recovery systems, ECO start/stop functionality, and low rolling resistance tires, this S-Class sedan achieves a combined fuel consumption of just 8.0 liters per 100 kilometers and CO2 emissions of only 188 grams per kilometer, making it one of the most efficient luxury sedans globally. Definition: The Mercedes-Benz S350 is produced by Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. The most significant improvement in the 2004 next-generation S350 is the brand-new V6 engine from Mercedes-Benz. With a displacement of 3.7 liters, it stands as the "big brother" among six-cylinder engines, delivering a 12.5% increase in output power compared to the previous generation V6 engine, reaching 180 kW (245 hp). Torque has also improved by 13%, achieving 350 Nm at 3000 rpm.
My old Mercedes-Benz S350 also had the issue of the quartz clock running inaccurately. This thing is quite delicate. The most common cause is a dead button battery, as the small battery in car clocks typically lasts only three to five years before needing replacement. If the clock still doesn't keep time after a fresh battery, the clock movement might be faulty—similar to how mechanical watches lose accuracy. Also, pay attention to the car battery's condition. If the battery has recently been drained, the quartz clock's memory function might get scrambled. I once took apart the dashboard panel myself and found that a loose wiring connector behind the clock could also cause this issue, though you need to be careful not to break the clips when doing it yourself. If all else fails, just take it to a Mercedes specialist—they can replace the original movement in about half an hour.
