Need help updating image carousel so that it auto advances every 5 seconds

I have an image carousel on the homepage of a wordpress site that I manage that I'd like to update so that it auto advances every 5 seconds:

http://moto-authority.com/

(Look underneath the "Quality Pre-Owned Bikes on Sale Now" heading - that's the image carousel I'm referring to)

Currently -- the only way to get it to advance is by clicking on the left & right arrows that are displayed on mouseover. How would I go about adding some custom javascript to this page so that it auto-advances to the "Next" slide every 5 seconds or so? Please advise.

Thanks,
- Yvan

Leakim971 - thanks for your reply! Your script worked :

http://moto-authority.com/

The only thing I needed to change/fix was the selector name, .. which was actually "#special-offers":

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
   setInterval(function() {
          $("#special-offers span:contains(Next)").click();
   }, 5000); // 5 seconds
});
</script>
