Instrument Cluster Problem (navigating the windows)

Hello,

I'm a new F150 owner, and I have a question regarding the instrumentation panel navigation. No, not the sat-nav, but actually traversing the menus on the instrument cluster (not the dashboard panel). I have images to explain what I'm talking about.

Here you can see that I do not have the four arrows and the "ok" button, I only have these buttons to work with on my steering wheel.




Routinely I get stuck in windows like this


I dont know how to "go back". I have no back arrow.

I also dont know how to go back to a previous window within one of the menus. See image.


You can see there are two windows within that menu (one for current fuel consumption, another for the historical records). Currently I'm stuck on the historical records because I cannot get back to the first one (no back arrow).

How do you properly navigate without the four arrows and the ok button???

According to the owner's manual ...
  • Press the INFO button to scroll through trip, fuel usage, trailer gain and MyKey® information.
Don't have one ?

Thank you, I did read the owners manual though. I can get to/from trip, fuel economy, gauges, etc. To be more specific, I cannot go from "trip B" back to "Trip A", if that makes more sense. I have no idea how to navigate back to trip A, my truck is permanently stuck on trip b as I have no "back" button.

Truck came stock like this. Just bought it last night.

the 4 arrows and ok button should be on the left of the steering wheel to be able to navigate. It has to have them.. Right?

No four arrows or ok button. I wish I did have them, I sat there for about 20 minutes trying different button combo's to get back to trip A. Could it be that Ford put the wrong steering wheel on my truck?!

Those pics are from my truck taken this morning.

Im thinking so about the wrong steering wheel.. I figured something like that would only happen to me . Hopefully others will chime in!

with the info screen you have on your truck you should have your cruise and all that on the left, along with your directional keys with ok button. On the right should be for your radio, sync etc. I Have never seen a truck with your information display have the steering wheel you have.

I'm thinking you have the incorrect steering wheel The buttons on your steering wheel usually go with the small plain info screen. Take it back to the dealer and show them.
