Operation of the change of direction warning system

Página 37

The turn warning system is one of the most important parts of a car's electrical system. He is responsible for indicating to the driver when he intends to change lanes or make a curve, alerting other drivers about his intention.

The system works through a set of lamps that are activated when the driver activates the signaling lever. These bulbs are located at the front and rear of the vehicle and are usually orange or red in color.

When the driver activates the signaling lever, an electrical signal is sent to the signaling relay, which in turn activates the corresponding lamps. The lamps flash at a steady rate, indicating the direction the driver intends to take.

The turn warning system is extremely important for the safety of the driver and other road users. It alerts other drivers to the driver's intention to change lanes or make a turn, allowing them to take the necessary steps to avoid accidents.

In addition, the turn warning system is also important to avoid traffic tickets. The correct use of the signaling system is mandatory by law, and the driver who does not use it properly can be fined.

Finally, it is important to note that the turn warning system should be checked regularly during vehicle maintenance. The lamps must be replaced whenever they present defects, and the signaling relay must be checked to guarantee its correct functioning.
