Gear indicator not working

So what did I do? I can no longer see the vertical gear indicator on the RPM gauge. It's dark. Looked in the manual but did not see how it toggled if it does. It just says gear being used will be shown.

2020 F150 Lariat CCSB.

Press the plus or minus button on the gear shift, it will come back.

Well that fixed it. Thanks!. Why bother digging through an owners manual for half an hour when I can come here. Is the +/- to lock out upper gears in normal driving?

Read your owners manual, ya might learn something. The +/- button possibly actuates the flux capacitor.

+/- will lock out upper gears and can be used for shifting in manual mode. Definitely read the manual...your truck probable does a lot of things you'd appreciate, but are not aware it can do.
