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..

I looked thru the encyclopedia Lexus 2012 IS250C owner's manual but can't find how to adjust the speed and tach orange light - please give the description or where to find it in the manual.
