Turn signals are located on the left and right sides of the front and rear of the car. Some vehicles also have them on or below the left and right rearview mirrors, serving as a warning to other vehicles and pedestrians. Usage scenarios of turn signals: When pulling over to park, turn on the right turn signal in advance, observe the traffic dynamics on the right rear side of the car, and then pull over; when leaving a parking space, turn on the left turn signal in advance, observe the traffic dynamics on the left rear side of the car, and then drive into the lane; when approaching a general intersection, turn on the turn signal according to the turning direction, 30-10 meters away from the intersection; if overtaking is needed, turn on the left turn signal and honk the horn on road sections without solid center lines. Precautions for using turn signals: The faster the speed, the earlier the turn signal should be turned on to allow surrounding vehicles to react in time; any driving involving a change of direction requires the use of turn signals, and the turn signal must be on for more than 3 seconds before making the move. How to use turn signals: Push the turn signal lever on the left side of the steering wheel upward to turn on the right turn signal; push the turn signal lever on the left side of the steering wheel downward to turn on the left turn signal.

The position of turn signals is actually quite crucial. On the car I usually drive, the turn signals are installed on the front fender area of the vehicle head, as well as on both sides of the rear end, all in highly visible locations. This design is primarily to ensure that vehicles and pedestrians in front and behind can clearly see the flashing signals when turning or changing lanes, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. The placement on the fenders and rear light clusters is chosen because these areas are less likely to be obstructed and offer a wide field of vision. I've also noticed that some newer models integrate the turn signals into the inner side of the side mirror casings, enhancing side visibility. During regular maintenance, I make sure to check if these lights are functioning properly, such as cleaning the lamp covers or testing if the bulbs are burnt out, since safety comes first. It's important to manually activate the turn signals in a timely manner, and developing this habit can significantly improve overall driving safety.

Every time I drive, I can directly operate the turn signal switch, which is located on the stalk next to the steering wheel. The lights are positioned near the front headlights and within the rear tail light assemblies, with one on each side. For example, when making a right turn at an intersection, the yellow flashing signal at the rear is clearly visible to following vehicles. The height is moderate, making it less likely to be obscured by dust or rain. Last time, I tried a modified car where the turn signals were relocated to the wheel arches, making them more visually prominent. This positioning is well-designed and helps in judging the angle of the curve. During rainy or foggy conditions, turning on the turn signals makes them stand out and alerts others to blind spots. Regular simple cleaning and inspection are key parts of maintenance to ensure the light housings don't crack.

My driving instructor taught me to locate the turn signal positions, usually above the rear part of the front wheel arch and the rear bumper. The design ensures they are neither too high nor too low, making them clearly visible from various angles. As a beginner, I often mistakenly thought the lights were near the side doors, but they are actually in the fender area. When the turn signals flash, they emit a strong yellow light. Proper positioning can help reduce traffic accidents, especially during night driving or in rainy conditions. It's important to develop the habit of checking the lights for issues, such as dust covering them, which can affect brightness.

The position of car turn signals is designed by engineers for optimal visibility, typically located on the front and rear fenders as well as the taillight area. Front turn signals are often placed at the edge of the hood, while rear ones are positioned in the upper-middle section of the taillight cluster. This arrangement ensures even light distribution around the vehicle, minimizing blind spots. Modern LED technology allows for more flexible placement, with some vehicles incorporating turn signals into the side mirror housings. Well-positioned turn signals enable timely signal transmission, enhancing road safety. When activated, the light angle facilitates quick recognition by other drivers. It is recommended to regularly wipe the lens with a damp cloth to maintain brightness.
