People always mix up the Santa Cruz and Santa Fe since the names are so similar, with the former being the pickup competitor to the Maverick.I thought the title of the thread was wrong. Not sure how the santa fe is related to the maverick.
It's like Mirror Mode on Mario Kart!Apparently the instrument cluster identifies as a video game.

This only effects the Santa Fe hybrid, which is basically like a Ford Edge.
Trivia time.
In the 1930s Studebaker covered all the bases, selling separate models named President and Dictator.
Oof. Not a great look in retrospect.Wikipedia said:One writer began a history of American perceptions of dictators with the introduction of the Studebaker Dictator. He noted there were political problems in the name 'Dictator', making it unusable in European monarchies. The same applied in British Empire countries which imported the car. Diplomatically, Studebaker marketed its Standard Six as the Director in these countries. In the United States the name initially caused no problems.
