Do I need to turn off the turn signal after using it?

[StellaFitz]

After using the turn signal, it generally turns off automatically. Here are some precautions for using turn signals: 1. Turn off the hazard lights before using the turn signal (if the vehicle does not have turn signal priority function). Many car models do not have a turn signal priority function, so if you need to use the turn signal while the hazard lights are on, you should first turn off the hazard lights before activating the turn signal switch. 2. Quickly identify if the turn signal is malfunctioning: Turn signals are divided into contact-type flashers and non-contact-type flashers. When a contact-type turn signal malfunctions, the corresponding turn indicator on the dashboard will stop flashing. When a non-contact-type turn signal malfunctions, the flashing frequency of the corresponding dashboard indicator will increase. Therefore, drivers should pay attention to changes in the flashing frequency of the turn signal indicator while driving. If the above phenomena occur, it indicates that the turn signal is malfunctioning.
