If you have the Rockford Fosgate stereo there are buttons on the screen to adjust the time. They’re hidden in plain sight. I had to look at the owners manual to figure it out once cause I had forgotten where they were :facepalm:

My clock is on the same screen as the mileage display beside the speedo. There isn't one on the stereo display sadly. I do find that odd though, most cars have a clock there, where as where mine is it is tiny. Took my long enough to find the clock itself, never mind the buttons to change it.

Turns out with mine you can only change it when the ignition is on, but the engine hasn't started. You need to use the Disp & Trip buttons to navigate the menu.
I'll grab some pictures when I am out next to show what I mean.

So below are two pictures, one showing where the clock is in my car. It's with the mileage, that's the only place it is. Next picture is showing the menu to change it. Like I said in my previous post, it can only be accessed when the ignition is on & the trip & disp buttons are used to navigate it.

I've also posted a picture of my car with the wind deflectors now attached, such a small thing but I think they add to the overall look of the car.

On my travels today I came across another Kizashi, so had to stop & get a picture of them together....obviously!

Hi Craig

Had my 62 Black Kizi for 2 1/2 years now. Got it with 9000 miles on the clock, now 42,000. Best car I've owned and i've had a few.
Always liked Suzuki from way back, 81 for the first Alto, then worked my way thru the range several times.
This Kizi just feels right and always gets attention especially people asking what it is.

Hope you have great fun and pleasure with your Kizashi, dont expect you'll have any problems.

They allow you to leave windows cracked open w/o the rain entering the cabin either white sitting or driving.

They also allow you to leave the windows slightly open without people noticing the gap. This is great for venting the car in hot weather while parked.

What the guys below your post said, plus I think they make the majority of cars look a little better! :)

She passed her MOT the other day no problem at all, so as a celebration I had some Kizashi Club stickers made! :)
