What is a "turn signal lever"?
A turn signal lever is a control on a vehicle’s steering column that is used to indicate a driver's intention to turn or change lanes. By moving the lever up or down, the driver activates the turn signals, which are lights on the front and rear of the vehicle that blink to alert other drivers. The turn signal lever is typically located next to the steering wheel, and once the turn is completed, the signal often turns off automatically. This helps improve safety by letting others know the vehicle's movements.
Examples
When you want to make a right turn, push the turn signal lever up.
