Two fuel cap arrows

[Luc343]

Has anyone noticed there is two fuel cap arrows, in the gauge cluster above, that points to different sides of the car for the fuel cap?

one arrow at the top (next to the fuel tank in the range number) is pointing right, to indicate the fuel cap is on the right side of the car and one arrow is in the actual fuel gauge, (next to the fuel pump picture in the fuel gauge) and pointing to the left side of the car for the fuel cap.

Is there some way to fix the arrow that is pointing to the wrong side of the car for the fuel cap?

I have 2 other cars and can never remember which side the fuel cap is on, so I use the arrow to guide me, when I go and fill up, but there are 2 arrows and one is incorrect.

I also wonder, which side is the fuel cap in a left hand drive car?

Is this only found in right hand drive cars?

One of them points to the fuel RANGE. No idea why Kia put an arrow there.

The one in the fuel gauge is the one showing which side the door is on.

It is telling you how long you have left before you need to get fuel. Never really noticed it before. I just concentrate on how many kms it says I have left. This is the way Kia has designed it. Pretty sure you can't change it. The arrow in the fuel gauge is the only one you should be looking for prior to fuelling.

There is a second hidden tank. Fill nozzle is in the glove compartment.

Nope its on all.... caught me out the first time I went to fill up... and pulled up on the wrong side

I always pull up to the pump that's open. If options exist, I will go to the fuel door side (pull up to the right side of the pump island). If I forget, get confused or have to pull up on the left side of the pump island, I'll just hold onto the pump hose to keep it off my paint.
