It points to the right ( ---> ) on my base GT instrument panel. The gas fill door is on the driver side. Is it wrong on all Stinger versions?

Anyone else with a base GT see what I see? The instrument cluster is different between the base GT and the GT1/GT2.

The arrow for range points to the right, and isn't indicating the fuel door location. The fuel gauge, which IS showing fuel door location points to the left. This seems to be a common point of confusion... They probably should not have used an arrow on the range display.

See page 4-68 of the manual to see the range indicator arrow that had me confused. https://stingerforum.org/kia-stinger-owner-manuals/2018_Stinger_OM_sm.pdf

To me...page 4-68 clearly shows the location of the fuel filler location. It's on the drivers side. What do you mean by the range indicator?

Ok, I was totally looking at page 4-70. Looking at 4-68 does show an out of place image in the middle of the page that is better explained on page 4-81 as "Distance to Empty". And yeah, I suppose they could've left out the arrow.

I noticed the same thing when I went to fill up my car for its first refill and parked my car on the wrong side of the pump because of it.Kind of an OCD thing here. Is this icon just to indicate distance to empty? It bothers me the arrow points right whereas the fuel cap indicator points left. Very trivial but I wish it could be turned off.

The arrow on the digital display is a bizarre design choice. Every other vehicle I’ve owned just shows the gas pump icon and the word “range”.
I can totally see how this can be confusing.

To be fair, it does point to the side that the gas cap is on. It would be REALLY confusing if it was X-> instead of ->X.

I had to LOL when I noticed this--I too thought the arrow was pointing the wrong direction but now I realize I look at the KM's remaining more than the gas gauge--I never noticed the gas pump in the gas gauge
