How to Use Your Turn Signal

Part of safe driving is letting the other drivers around you predict what you will do. Using your turn signals is not difficult, and it's generally required by law whenever you make a turn or change lanes.

STEP #1 Locate the lever on the left side of the steering column.

STEP #2 To signal a left turn, push the lever down

STEP #3 To signal a right turn, push the lever up

STEP #4 Once you have moved the lever up or down, an arrow light will begin blinking on the dashboard. The arrow that is blinking is the direction you are telling other drivers you are going to turn.

STEP #5 The signal will automatically turn off after you have made the turn, in most cases, but you must turn the wheel past a certain point. If it doesn't automatically turn off, move the lever back to its central, neutral position.

TIPS

The best way to remember which way to move the turn signal in the same direction that you are turning your steering wheel. If you leave your hand on the steering wheel and turn left, you will ultimately push downward on the turn signal, thereby signaling left.

Use your turning signal approximately 100 feet ahead of the turn you want to make.

• You should also use your turn signals when you are changing lanes, to alert other drivers appropriately.
• Many turn signals levers have two positions. You can either push the lever far enough that it clicks, and it will stay on, or you can hold the lever just short of the click position and it will spring back. The springing back position is useful for changing lanes, since you may not turn the steering wheel far enough for the turn signal to turn off automatically.
• Remember that it's as easy as flipping a lever to be courteous to other drivers, so use a signal every time!
• Remember: your turn signal is to warn drivers that you don't see (i.e. blind spot) what you are going to do.

WARNINGS

Some cars don't have levers on the left side. If when you push the lever on the left side, your windscreen wipers come on, then try the right lever.

When signaling, make sure at least one hand is on the wheel at all times. Also look where you are going and do not turn unless it is safe to do so.

Be careful if you want to turn where there are two turnings near each other on the same side of the road. Start signaling when you are at approximately the midpoint of the turning before if you are turning into the farthest one.
