Default 2016 Lexus IS350 F-Sport G-Force gauge

Hey everybody!
So I've noticed that on Lexus' website they advertise the G-Force Gauge for ALL 2016 F-Sport variants. I just can't seem to find it! I know it's probably not that helpful but it seems like a nifty thing to have haha . Anybody have any ideas?

Sorry to resurrect an old topic but I just picked up my IS350 F-Sport Saturday and found this site today. Obviously not super important but the Lexus site does say all 2016 F-Sport models have this meter. Either it's hidden somewhere because I can't find it or it's not all F-Sport models. I grabbed the image below from another post on this site. If you go to the Technology page on the Lexus site (http://www.lexus.com/models/IS/technology) and click the image, it shows a picture that is clearly not from an 2016 F-Sport as it has two gauges.

Anyone have an idea where this is on a 2016? Maybe it needs a software update to expose?

I have a 2016 is350 fsport and I have never seen this... I know the 200t has a turbo boost gauge (digital),
Maybe I have to dig deeper..

This could all be misinformation on the Lexus site. But it says Standard on IS350 F Sport. Wouldn't be the first time a corporate website was wrong!

It could be there but hidden. Try checking the settings on the F sport cluster, there could be a way to select it to be shown instead if another screen.

From the looks of the photo, it looks like it will show after sliding the cluster. I did mess with the settings, but I couldnt find it

I did the same. Slide to the right and went thru everything. I can't find it.

2014 here it isn't there but keep in mind the car has a G-sensor so there is a chance that we can get it with a software update, but is there an update for the Guage cluster

Bummer, I have a 2015 and don't have it. I got these steps to check for it from my tech rep at my dealer:

Go to the i tab on the gauge cluster.
Arrow down to a white circle.
The orange dot is the G-force meter.

The screen will stay on while driving, if desired.

I haven't really tried in finding this gauge. Since I have the 200t I've seen the turbo gauge. I mean, it looks cool. I guess I can see if it's boosting.

Has anyone asked Lexus? I'll probably ask when I go in to repair my rim curb damage.

I have an NX F Sport and that pic posted is from an NX. Note the two gauge cluster rings...

Well, Lexus is first and foremost an SUV company
