In theory, modern technology is supposed to help us, but in practice, things can be a bit tricky. Peugeot owners know all too well how intrusive the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system can be. It was supposed to improve safety, but it often irritates, distracts, and… drives you crazy. In this article, you'll learn how. Why drivers are fed up with TSR, how to temporarily disable and – most importantly – how to get rid of it permanently, thanks to a proven device ZENBOX PRO.

What is the TSR system and why does it drive drivers crazy?

The TSR traffic sign recognition system has one basic task: monitor speed limit signs and provide this information to the driver on the display. Sounds reasonable? Unfortunately, in practice it looks completely different.

TSR in Peugeots often:

• I read the signs incorrectly, e.g. from service roads, side lanes or ramps,
  
• reminds about restrictions that no longer apply, e.g. after passing the end of restriction mark,
  
• works with cruise control, which results in automatic speed reduction – without the need,
  
• makes persistent sounds and messageswhich are distracting and irritating, especially when driving in a busy city.
  

Some users compare the TSR to "an annoying passenger who constantly reminds you of the rules." But it's the driver's job to drive the car, not the on-board computer.

How do I turn off the TSR system temporarily while driving?

If the TSR system is annoying you, you have the option temporarily turning it off from the car settingsHowever, this requires manual intervention. on every ride, because after turning the engine off and on again – the function comes back like a boomerang.

Here's how to temporarily disable TSR in Peugeots:

1. Start the car and wait for the central screen to load.
   
2. Go to vehicle settings menu (car or settings icon).
   
3. Open section Driving assistance, Assistants or similarly named – depending on the system version.
   
4. Find an option Character recognition or TSR.
   
5. Uncheck or turn off the function.
