Thanks.  Mine is different but the video that appears next when I went 
to url would seem to apply.   I had seen it the other day but have yet 
to do it.  Not sure why the dealer had changed the setting from psi to 
kpsa but maybe to mask the fact that he set all tire pressures to 35 psi.

On my previous Forester which got totaled, I recall taking an hour to 
change the clock for daylight savings time.  On the Crosstrek there is a 
separate clock setting and to change it only takes a few seconds.  It 
also removed the annoying reminders to change the oil.
