How to Activate the Left Turn Signal?

[DiArcher]

There is a turn signal lever below the steering wheel in every car, marked with "right" at the top and "left" at the bottom. Generally, turning the lever upward (clockwise) activates the right turn signal, while turning it downward (counterclockwise) activates the left turn signal. More details are as follows: 1. Due to variations in vehicle models, always refer to the relevant "operating specifications" in your vehicle's "user manual" for accurate instructions; 2. Typically, most vehicles control the turn signals through a combination switch handle integrated with the vehicle's lighting controls, such as moving it upward for the right turn signal or downward for the left turn signal; 3. Some vehicles use a separate control handle or individual switch on the combination switch to operate the turn signals, though this type is less common. As signal lights, turn indicators primarily serve to alert surrounding vehicles about your intended direction change during daily driving, prompting them to yield and avoid collisions. Whether turning, changing lanes, overtaking, starting, or parking, you must activate the turn signal in advance whenever the vehicle needs to steer away from its current lane. This is a fundamental principle of safe driving.
