Help me figure out my dash display

[ShadowsPapa]

You just got lucky.... yes there are two fuel economy screens, one is detailed and one just has the meter. I found several other threads on this, its a common glitch that's seems not too common until it happens to you.

What it should look like

What it looks like with the current mileage missing

What it looks like when you arrow key left/right from the above screen

Its also being discussed here"

Yes, and to put it another way to be clear (as we keep seeing "oh, just use the left or right arrow to scroll, that will fix it")

This is what I call screen #1 ->

Now if you use the left or right arrow buttons on the left of the steering wheel, this would take you to screen #2 ->

That just above is what screen #2 should look like with the "Current" to the lower right of the mpg scale and "Range" to the lower left of the mpg scale.

This is what that same screen - #2 - with NO INTERACTION from the driver, no using any buttons, magically changes to for some of us - SAME screen, but look at what happens ->

And if you use the left or right scroll buttons, you simply change back to this one ->

Usually, after a few days or weeks, it simply changes back so you have the "Current" mpg displayed at the lower right of the mpg scale/gauge/semi-circle as if nothing ever happened.

For those watching - this has nothing at all to do with any steering wheel buttons.
Scrolling left or right between the two screens does nothing - it takes you to the bare-bones mpg screen, or back to the changed, anomalous screen. It doesn't fix anything.

I often scroll UP about 3 pages to see voltage and other readings.
Mine was at that weird screen when I decided to scroll UP, and look at voltage, and various temperatures. I parked to go eat and left it at the voltage screen.
I came back out, started the truck, drove away and after a bit scrolled back down to the mpg screen - and NOT using left or right at all, it was magically back to how I expected it.

Im just waiting for someone to say:

I leaned left and farted... my eyes where burning, but it fixed my screen"???

Not sure how much clearer it can be stated... people just don't read the bulk of the thread... they just want to pass misinformation as thier 2 cents.

I also think there might be other "failure" modes because I have the green dots at the bottom that show how many displays can be toggled and which one you are currently on staying at the first selection out of two, no matter which I am on. That has never fixed itself for me. I'll get some pictures in a little bit to show what I'm talking about.

I just scrolled through the other thread about this issue looking for my post about showing pictures before I realized it was another thread.

They're a little late, but here you can see the screen change, but the green indication dot at the bottom stays the same. They will disappear after a second or two once a screen has been selected.

On the other thread, @ShadowsPapa mentions possible intentions to make a 3rd screen option. Maybe they were halfway through the code and said screw it.

Atleast it looks like its supposed to.... I never noticed mine moving either, I will have to double check.... great fuel economy by the way !

Thanks! That's with me putting my foot into it a bit more than normal also.

Interesting - my fuel economy screen is #5. Yours is #4.

Because youbcan choose it as a favorite, you have all of the favorites chosen, he only has four or possible chose them in a different order.

That's good to know. I've left it that way since I bought it last year. I need to reread the manual. I'm sure there's still tons of stuff that I haven't discovered or figured out yet.

When the dealer brought out a loaner to use while they had our JLU in for transmission, my wife noted that Grand Cherokee showed an average of 18 mpg.
We agreed - no way......
When it was returned my wife had it up to an average of 25 mpg.

My instant was on this morning going to work. Start up to go home. It's gone again.
