jonbruinsma Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hello all, I like to drive with the fuel economy gauge and vertical tach and fuel gauge displayed. When I turn the car on and put in reverse, the driver backing assist display comes on in the left display over the fuel economy and when I put the car into drive, everything is replaced with the round tach and fuel gauge only and I have to scroll through the menus to get the fuel economy display back. Is there a setting I can select to when I put the car in drive after backing, the display will keep the fuel economy and vertical tach and fuel gauge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Sounds like a bug. My 2013 doesn't change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68cupe Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Mine does that too. I havent figured it out yet, but if I do, will let you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbruinsma Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Had the car tinted at the dealer a few days ago and one of the techs looked at it. He said they all do that and as if now, there's no setting that will overwrite it. If you don't like the large fuel gauge, you can tab down on the left down button and put the water temp gauge on. This setup won't change like the fuel economy does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Still sounds like a bug. Hopefully it gets fixed. I should be getting the gauge cluster reprogrammed next week for the fuel tank problem - I'll see if it changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbruinsma Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes..it's kind of annoying, but I can live with it. What was going on with your fuel tank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Early build Fusions had tanks that would not hold the full capacity. I have a 16.5 gallon tank but can only use 12 - 12.5 gallons before it reads empty. They have to replace the tank and reprogram the MFT cluster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisL Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I discovered this as well. Very annoying. Hope there is a fix coming for this soon. The funny thing is, when I start the car it shows the correct display and after the self check completes it changes to the round tach and vertical fuel gauge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebreazy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I apologize if bumping an old thread is worse than not searching and just making a new thread about the same issue, but has anyone discovered a fix for this issue? Been searching for a few days since buying a 2014 this weekend and noticed this issue. Wife an I have a 2015 explorer for 2 years and I love the fuel economy display it has. But having to regularly hit let, down, down, right every time after shifting is a serious pain in the name of just being inconvenient. Any help as to if this is just a live with it issue, or if it's been fixed would be greatly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Mine only does it when manually shifting the tranny. Is that what you're doing? If so I don't think there is a fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebreazy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nope. 1. Set it to fuel economy display. 2. Drive around town. 3. Park it. 4. Shift in reverse and the second you put it back in drive it defaults back to the tach. Litteraly every time you shift out of drive and back into drive it resets from any and all other displays back to tach. Drive to sport to drive it resets. Parking over night and go to leave in the morning it resets. It's a fairly stupid thing to bug me, but given they have a tach on fuel economy display this seems like a completely stupid glitch to occur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 My early build 2013 does not do this but you're not the only one to report it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetryman77 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I've encountered the same issue, and it's quite frustrating. Hoping for a prompt fix. Interestingly, upon starting the car, the display initially shows the correct information, only to switch to the round tachometer and vertical fuel gauge after the self-check completes. Eagerly awaiting a resolution to this perplexing display inconsistency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
