About this video

Clock off by an hour after daylight saving time, or reset after a battery change? In this video, an ASE certified mechanic shows you how to set the clock on a 2013-2019 Ford Escape (third generation, including the 2017 facelift).

WHAT WE COVER
Finding the clock settings on the radio or touchscreen
Changing the hour and minutes
Switching between 12 hour and 24 hour format
Turning automatic time and GPS time sync on or off on equipped models
Why the clock may reset after a battery replacement or jump start

WHICH SYSTEM DO YOU HAVE
2013-2016 models came with a base radio, SYNC, or MyFord Touch, and 2017-2019 models came with a base radio, SYNC, or SYNC 3. The menus look different, but the clock settings live in the same place on each system.

RELATED MODELS
The Ford Kuga and Lincoln MKC (2015-2019) share this platform, and the same SYNC and SYNC 3 clock menus appear on many Fords of the same era, including the Focus, Fusion, Edge, Explorer, and F-150.

Quick tip: if your clock keeps jumping back to the wrong time, check whether automatic time or GPS time is turned on and set to the right time zone.
