What does this indicate on the instrument cluster?

[JohnLaurin]

This maybe a dumb question but can someone explain what the five vertical lines indicate? It is on a 2026 hybrid. See attached picture inside of red oval. Thanks in advance.

looks like your position in the screens you can scroll though?

You have available up to 5 'tile' options for the right side of your dashboard and the brighter indicator is where in the list of them you are currently viewing. Looks like you may have the 'Current Trip' displayed.

Is that the screen area that will not go back to the last viewed tile, when you turn the truck on again?
But you get the 2 sec option to OK view that prior tile again?

Correct that it will not return to your last displayed view/‘tile’. IIRC, it reverts back to Trip 1 in my 2025 ‘My View’ list.

But I believe the brief option to return to something on start up is regarding drive mode (normal, eco, sport, tow) and reverts to normal upon timeout.

It is a subtle way of telling you to “read the manual”. Good luck finding the answer in your e-manual. A hard copy purchase is worth the $50 for some.

Thanks to all for your help and comments. I wish Ford would publish a paper manual. It would be so helpful. Thanks again to all.

Curious, what year stopped with the “book” manual? My ‘24 has it, and when we go to bed, wife reads her “Fabio” books, and I still “peruse”, and keep learning about my Mav! Don’t go there!

I had to buy one for my ‘25 EB. First owners manual I ever had to purchase….

Time to trade it in. You're only getting 36.3 mpg ? What happened ?

I feel bad for all you guys who have to stare at that redesigned meter...

Ford does. But now you have to pay extra for it.

I got a free paper manual with my 2024, and I never use it. In my opinion it's much easier to search and find what you need in the PDF version.

I also bought an Owners Manual for my ‘25 Lariat; These Companies like to Charge you more, and give you Less. The Money for the Manual was Well Spent, though
