Default Bubble on Instrument Cluster

Hi,

I've had my 2021 PB Platinum a month now, love it so far.

I've done a few things to personalize it, changed out the tires, powder coated the rims matte black (not a huge fan of all the chrome), would like to black out the fender emblems to and added a Revolver X4S tonneau cover.

But have a question, the last couple of days when I start it I see a bubble (circle) in the speedo area of the instrument cluster it only last a few seconds and disappears. Anyone else see this or know what it is?

I added a picture and circled what I'm talking about.

Thanks

Sure, they're a little dusty right now though.

The rims are satin black and look great, I'm super happy with them.

Nice rims.

I think Ford failed on the Platinum rims this time around. Most of the time I think they're spot on, but 21MY I'm not impressed. The black makes them look a lot better.

Default I'm 99% sure I'm right

Isn't that for TSR? Traffic sign recognition. I am almost positive it is. Almost all Ford's in the EU have it if they have adaptive cruise and lane keep. It will show the traffic signs there. There's two Modes. Fusion and TSR. Fusion reads nav data and applies it in your Speedo Arch but if there's no data it reads the sign and applies it there. It can also show two signs at once. My guess is that when your truck turns on it's on, but as soon as your the GPS grabs signal it goes ahead and turns it off. Your can read and see a lot about it over on the Forscan forums. I'm almost 110% positive that's what it is. Looks exactly like that and speed signs in the EU are circular with a red ring, white background, black numbers. Just like what one user reported seeing.

Default Update?

Does anybody know what it is? It popped up on my truck while I was driving yesterday and it disabled my cruise control that I was using. It wouldn’t let me use cruise control until the circle disappeared.

As @PeteRit mentioned, I believe it is for TSR, but maybe only in the EU. Twice now, I've seen a Euro-style speed limit sign in that spot. I started the truck and saw the circular red and white speed sign just before it disappeared. Every other time, it's just been a gray circle that disappears after about ten seconds.
