NX250 fuel gauge way off

Few days ago, I bought a new Lexus NX250 AWD. However, after I drove it about 150+ miles, I notice that the fuel gauge display on the dashboard is incorrect (it still displays full tank of gas, but the trip info screen shows only 280 miles left, which is same as what the Lexus app shows).

Can anyone tell me what I can do?

thanks!

I have viewed some other threads, but they didn’t really mention a way to reset/repair it…
