Fuel guage

[flemmons]

Today I filled the gas tank to full. The gauge read about 1/8 tank with a remaining g range of 34, which I am fine with. When I started the vehicle the gauge read the same with 34 DTE reading. I had an hour drive ahead, so I drove along and the fuel gauge crept higher with the DTE staying at 34. By the end of my 56 mike ride, the gauge was almost at full, still lit up in red with 36 DTE. Anyone seen this issue. New 2024 with 810 mi K es.

Did it fix itself after a key cycle?

No

Yes, we’ve had this once after a fill. I believe it results from disruption of the sensor reading when starting the car.

I tend to pause the key turn to give systems a moment to initiate after refilling, we haven’t seen the symptom again.

It happened to me just once. My previous vehicle (Nissan) did it about once a year too.

Try resetting info system.....hold mute button.

I have done this after a fill up and it gives more accurate range.

Holding mute button does not clear the issue. I have seen another forum that states you have to burn approx. 6 gallons of fuel after the fill up for it to reset. Odd, but that’s all I’ve seen.
