What is the operation method for the left and right turn signals in an automatic transmission car?

Press the brake pedal of the automatic transmission car. Press the one-button start key of the automatic transmission car to start the engine. The dashboard lights up, indicating that the engine of the automatic transmission car has started. Just like a manual transmission, push up for right turn and down for left turn.
When I first learned to use the turn signals in an automatic car, it seemed simple but I kept making mistakes. The lever on the left side of the steering wheel controls the switch—push it gently downward to activate the left turn signal (displaying a left arrow), and push it upward for the right turn signal. After completing the turn, the lever usually resets automatically, turning off the light. This auto-cancel feature is user-friendly, but initially, I worried it might fail or that I was pushing too hard. Later, I learned that you must activate the signal 50-100 meters before turning or changing lanes to alert other drivers and pedestrians. Safe driving requires forming good habits—unlike my early laziness, as skipping signals on highways can cause accidents. With practice, it becomes instinctive, and I now remind myself that turn signals are lifesavers. The key is a gentle push (not forceful) and checking if the light turns off after the maneuver to avoid confusion.
