Default Orange Ring around spedometer

Hey, I just got my IS250 not too long ago but I have noticed that I get a orangish ring around my spedometer when I hit the speed of 78mph or greater. Is that normal? and if not, how do I turn it off?

Yeah you can set it to turn orange whenever you want. Same as RPM's.
Its just a reminder of your speed.

Default
75mph=orange
100mph=red

But like everyone else said, that little book in your glove box will explain everything..
