Is the upward turn signal left or right?
1 Answers
Pushing the turn signal lever upward indicates a right turn. The light switch is located on the lever behind the left side of the steering wheel. Using your left hand to push the lever downward activates the left turn signal, while pushing it upward activates the right turn signal. When the turn signal is activated, the front, rear, and side turn signal lights will flash simultaneously to alert nearby vehicles and pedestrians. Turn signal lights are installed at both the front and rear of the vehicle. Some cars also have turn signal lights on the sides, rear window glass, or side mirrors. Drivers are advised to activate the corresponding flashing indicator in advance before turning to warn pedestrians or vehicles in front of or behind the car, indicating the intended direction of travel. Types of turn signal lights: They are divided into three categories: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The resistance wire type can be further classified into thermal wire type (electrothermal) and wing type (spring-loaded). The electronic type can be divided into hybrid (relay with contacts and electronic components) and fully electronic (without a relay). 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, which connects and disconnects the contacts to achieve light flashing. Turn signal light tube structure: The tube uses a xenon lamp, with a microcontroller-controlled circuit that enables continuous alternating flashing of the left and right lights.
