I hadn't thought about the number of flashes needed, actually. I just signal and go, never noticing the number of times the signal flashed. Three flashes sounds reasonable. Of course, you know what you've done, don't you? All of us now are going to count the number of our lane change flashes now!! ;-) |

Clearly, this is a troll... and not a very good one. No vehicle manufacturer would include such a feature. ----- - gpsman |

Clearly, this feature is designed for drivers who, if they signal at all, cannot be relied upon to cancel it themselves. ----- - gpsman |

Okay, so what happens if use your turn signals to change lanes for example, but then change your mind. Will activating them the other way cancel the flash or will they just start flashing three times to other direction? > > Chris Ulf |
