    So while getting gas for the first time, key turned two clicks cause I'm trying to figure out how to reset the gas mileage, and I get a check charging system. Normal? Engine off, key on too mess with settings. Please say yes.

    Gas mileage will update on its own. Message is normal in aux mode.

    Check charging happens cause nothing is charging the battery when you turn it on with the engine off. Mpg resets automatically when you fill

    That setting is in/the head unit. Get to main menu, touch" eco "
    And I belive there is a setting in heads up display/info center between speedometer and tach. Just scroll through the steering wheel controls to do that.

    Pop quiz, what needs to be turning for the charging system to generate any power?

    The oil pump, at least for any long term charging.

    Technically, the rotor is all that needs to spin.
    But now we’re getting way off track.

    You’re all good OP.
    Nothing to worry about.

    The MPG should reset as soon as you put it into drive.

    Yes the charge system message is normal. In most other vehicles you'd just see a battery light so yes, in a way, every vehicle does this under this same circumstance.
