Is pushing down the turn signal for left or right turn?
1 Answers
Pushing down the turn signal indicates a left turn. The turn signal switch is typically located on the left side of the steering wheel, and its operation can be summarized as "up for right, down for left." Specifically, moving the turn signal lever upward signals a right turn, while moving it downward signals a left turn. Below is additional information about turn signals: 1. Turn Signal: An important indicator light that activates when a motor vehicle is turning to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulb uses a xenon tube, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, with alternating left and right flashing without interruption. The turn signal employs a flasher unit to achieve the blinking effect. There are mainly three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. 2. Structural Principle: The resistance wire type can be further divided into thermal wire type (electrothermal) and wing type (spring-loaded), while the electronic type can be categorized into hybrid (relay with contacts and electronic components) and fully electronic (no relay). For example, the spring-loaded flasher operates on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, using the heat effect of current to cause sudden movement of the spring plate, thereby connecting and disconnecting contacts to achieve the blinking effect.
