Default Why when im doing 80mph?

Just got an IS250. I noticed when I was driving on the highway yesterday and hit a steady speed of 80mph the yellow LEDS on my spedometer lit up. I havent gotten a chance to read through the whole manual yet. But is this normal?

it's a setting that you have to go off when you reach your desired max speed. there is a setting for RPM's as well. read your manual. there should be a button on the dash to the left of your steering wheel. one circle button in the middle and a button on each side. check it out.

Huh? The red one isn't adjustable, it's fixed at 100MPH.

What he said. It was distracting me when I'm doing 130-135MPH. But I left the RPM warning on. It's my shift light. Lol.

Set them at 88mph and the car will activate the flux capacitor. As it accelerates, several rails around the body of the car glow blue and a wormhole generator on top of the car makes a wormhole in front of the car. Surrounded by large sparks, the whole car vanishes in a flash of blue light seconds later, leaving a pair of fire trails behind. (Time Travel Mode)
