Where is the turn signal located?
2 Answers
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.
