Even if your iPad should automatically set itself to the right local date and time, once in a while, your iPad requires help to adjust to daylight savings or to get the time zone right, among other potential problems.
When your iPad fails to connect to a network (for instance, when powering your iPad back on after a flight in another country, with no Wi-Fi,) there is no way to know the time and where you are.
It is possible to set it manually, though, if you need to get the right time, date, and time zone for your location. Or you can have it changed to make sure it reflects a different time and place from where you presently are – for instance if you have a call to London and you need to be certain you are synced with them.

You can always re-enable your iPad’s ability to set the right time and location by clicking “Set Automatically” so it can be green in color.
Be certain that you are linked to a network or there is no way to detect where and when you are.
