3 months old 2019 G, first problem?

I got a G in March. Loving it. Took it to gas station last week, put in a full tank (automatic click off). Got into the car, gauge shows little over 3/4. I thought click off was too soon, so I go back to the gas tank and try to put in some more. Tank looks full, I see gas above safety door. I thought this was a glitch and didn't think too much of it. Just went to the station today. Same thing, tank is full, but gauge shows little over 3/4s. This is my first G and as a matter of fact my first Mercedes. Is there a reset somewhere or do I need to bring it in? Thanks for your time.

I am not worried. My dealer is a mile away and they give loaners. Just thought there may be an easy fix. Thanks.

try to avoid filling it up until reserve fuel indicator lights up, sometimes these things are self calibrating.

UPDATE: Dealer kept the car for 2 days, ran all kinds of tests. They can't figure out what the problem is. All diagnostics show normal. Went as far as siphoning all gas from my tank and refilling it back up. Escalated to MBZ engineering.

Long story short: I am awaiting a new gas tank in 1-2 weeks.
