Default Changing speedometer orange flashing at 80mph

Is there a way of changing the flashing orange on the speedometer from 80mph to 100? How about the RPM? Could there be only orange because my friend had a blue needle.

There are menu driven controls to the left of the steering wheel, back on the dash.

Owners manual explains the process to change everything, or remove it altogether.

I have only seen it once or twice! lol

You can set the lights to light up red/orange at any speed you want after 15mph

This is not part of LPS so no need to go to the dealer. The switch is on the panel to the left of the steering wheel. This switch also use for turning the AFS ON/OFF (if equipped) and reset/recalibrate the TPMS along with the Tach setting.
Very simple procedures! Read the owner manual.

The orange ring can be set, but as far as I know, the red ring is permanently set to 100mph.

Not LPS. This button [<O>] to the left of the steering wheel.

Bichon!!! I thought you were no longer in this section. Good to still see you around!

Yes, this was my thoughts as well!

By the way, I know for a fact you can't change this with menu where you can turn AFS off. I use that menu often and have never seen a place where I can set the speed in there.

Turn you car On but with the engine off. Scroll through this switch [<O>] and find "Speed Indicator". Turn it off and then back on. It will ask you to SET. Use the arrow buttons to move up or down. Once you have your desired speed, press ON/OFF button to set.

Serifiyah is right on where it is located.. but you can do it with the engine running as well..
its very simple...
i know you can change when the orange comes on on both the speed and tach, but there is no setting for the red.

Change what? Red or Orange? You can definitely change Orange, but not Red with the AFS menu.
