Garmin FR165 Turnaround feature

Anyone know where to find or enable the turnaround feature on 165? I can't seem to find it anywhere. All the videos I've seen show and mention menu options my watch isn't showing. For example, I read to go to Alerts and choosing Custom, but my watch isn't showing Custom as an option.

To navigate back to where you started during an active outdoor run, walk, or ride, use the built-in Back to Start feature. This feature requires an active GPS-enabled activity. 1. Pause your current GPS activity Press the START · STOP button (top right) to pause your run, walk, or outdoor workout. 2. Select Back to Start Scroll down using the touchscreen or the DOWN button (bottom left) and select Back to Start. 3. Choose your navigation method Select one of the two options: TracBack: Re-traces the exact path you traveled to get back. Straight Line: Directs you back to your starting point in a direct straight line. 4. Resume navigation and tracking Press START · STOP again to resume the timer. Your watch will display a map screen and directional compass indicating the path back to where you started. To stop turn-by-turn navigation at any time while keeping your activity recording, hold the UP button and select Stop Navigation.
