UTC Time Format on Automotive Devices

The Time on an Automotive Device can be Set in Three Formats:

  • 12-Hour
  • 24-Hour
  • Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and times.

UTC is a standard based on the International Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to synchronize with the Earth's rotation. It is closely related to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and within informal or casual contexts where sub-second precision is not required, it can be used interchangeably.
