Default No Elapsed Time Clock on 2008 RX w/ Nav?

I just bought a certified pre owned 2008 RX350 with navigation, which is quite a step up from my tired old 1999 RX. On of the things I miss is the elapsed time, Average MPG, and Instant MPG that displayed by pressing the Info button. It seems that my 2008 RX lacks this because I have the navigation system. I've checked the owner's manual and it looks like this is only available on RX's without the navigation system. Am I correct or am I missing something?

Push the info button then select trip information on the left side for this information.

Thanks, that provides all but the time elapsed since the car was started. I miss that more than any of the info my 1999 RX provided.

I still think you will be happy with the nav upgrade option. Enjoy your new RX 350!

to be fair, from the miles driven (given) and the avg MPG, you can get elapsed time.

sounds like a math problem I noticed there was no elapsed timer either when we got our car nor can you see thet outside temp without going to climate screen. woulda been nice. but we still love the car.
