Is the left turn signal activated by pushing down or pulling up?

[DiVanessa]

Left turn signal is activated by pushing down. Generally, turning the signal upwards (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while pushing it down (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn. This design aligns with human perception and operational thinking. The method to activate the left turn signal is to push the turn signal lever downward. The functions of car turn signals are: 1. To indicate the turning direction to pedestrians or other vehicles; 2. To show the direction for overtaking or lane changing; 3. When both left and right turn signals are on simultaneously, it indicates an emergency situation to alert other vehicles. Precautions for using turn signals include: 1. Activate the turn signal in advance before turning; 2. Use the left turn signal when overtaking and the right turn signal when returning to the original lane; 3. After activating the turn signal, observe pedestrians and oncoming vehicles before performing the maneuver; 4. Before making a left turn or U-turn, check for any road prohibition signs before activating the turn signal.
