The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change

signaling.

button, both turn signal indicato rs
blink. All turn signals on the outside

This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on while driving,
it means that one or more of your
