Is the left turn signal activated by pushing up or down?
1 Answers
The left turn signal is activated by pushing down. Usage Tips: Users must remember the principle of 'up for right, down for left'. It's quite simple - just imagine the turn signal lever as a steering wheel, and push it in the direction you want to turn. The 'up-right, down-left' configuration follows conventional habits: downward represents counterclockwise, which most people associate with left turns, while upward represents clockwise, commonly understood as right turns. Usage Rules: When observing the need to change lanes ahead, drivers should activate the turn signal in advance, typically at a distance of approximately 50 meters or more. After turning on the signal, immediately check the rearview mirror to ensure safe lane changing. Important Notes: When making a left turn at signal-controlled intersections, motor vehicles must activate the turn signal and use low beams when driving at night. When following another vehicle in the same direction at close range, high beams should not be used. When passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or uncontrolled intersections at night, vehicles should alternately flash their high and low beams as a warning.
