Default Where's the altimeter and barometer display?

http://www.lexus.com/models/es/350_specifications.html

If you scroll down to the "Comfort & Convenience" section, the "Trip Computer" is listed as having "mileage, outside temperature gauge, altimeter and barometer"; did Lexus remove/disable the altimeter and barometer readouts, or was that just a misprint on Lexus' part?

Alan,

It's right above and to the left of the ejection seat button <G>

You only gain access to it after you meet another owner and go through the ritual of the secret handshake while saying the secret code phrase.

I actually emailed the Lexus customer support on this very issue a few weeks back and their response was in essence 'sorry for the confusion' and that the car does not have this functionality. Not the type of response I would expect but at least they did respond.

I expect that this may have been some planned functionality at some point that got taken off the build list but never edited off of the features list. I think there are a couple of other similar items on the list that are not in the car's actual functionality (I looked at this a month of so ago and don't recall which ones they were).
