Weirdest thing - Mikestib1_imp - 12-21-2016
I know my eyes aren't great, but with the ignition off, I can see a dim image of E and F as well as a gas pump in center gauge display. I searched the forum as well as my owners manual and see no mention. Tell me I'm not losing my mind. I have 2013 that I purchased new non current a month ago. Thanks

What do you see with the ignition on? Without going and looking, when the ignition is off, I'm pretty sure I can see the E and F of the fuel gauge and one red bar at the left side. They're not faint.

Exactly. I guess this feature helps discharge the battery with the ignition off.
Very clever
Thanks

Mike, I don't think they're electronic markings. I think they are fixtures. The red bar means that when the final electronic black bar switches off, you know you've hit reserve.

The E, F and pump (and the red "empty" bar) are not electronic. They are screened onto the plastic overlay of the LCD display.

So nicely put Flyn.
I wish I'd said it so clearly.
