    Flick turn signal stock and car signals 3 times?

    Hey everyone!

    When I was driving the other day I had flicked the turn signal stock and I had noticed that it was turning the signal on three times and then turn off. What's the point of this feature?

    Thanks!

    I wonder if that's what it's for? But 3 times just seems odd because it's not enough to get from one lane to another, unless you're very quick on doing it.

    Same issue here in Moncton.......

    I will try that turn signal flick tomorrow and see. I had not noticed that feature, then again I have only had the car a few weeks.

    It's for lane changes — almost all new vehicles have this feature. It's fine if you're doing a regularly-timed lane change on a moving road, but if you're planning on sitting with the flashers on to wait for someone to let you merge, then you'll want to full activate the full signal by clicking the stalk in place as per usual.

    And yes, can confirm people in Vancouver don't seem to know about signalling.

    my 2015 honda fit does the same thing, i think its a new car thing, with electronics controlling everything its probably pretty easy to do, SOMETIMES i wish it didnt do it, like if you decide NOT to change lanes, it doesnt cancel (you get your 3 flashes)


    2015 Micra S (manual)
    no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015
    Feb 2015 build
    9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
    so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!
