Turn Signals: Description and Operation

The circuit consists of the starter switch, lighting switch, turn signal/cornering switch (combination switch), turn signal light, cornering light, hazard warning switch, flasher unit, mode switch (A/T), backup light switch, backup light, horn switch and horn.

When turning ON the respective switches with the starter switch ON, the turn signal light and the backup light will operate. When the turn signal light is flashing, the indicator light in the meter also starts flashing.

When the hazard warning switch is turned ON, the current flows to the flasher unit through the hazard warning switch to cause the hazard warning light to flash, independent of the position of the starter switch.

At the same time, the indicator lights in the meter also start flashing.

When the turn signal lever is set in either the left or right direction while the headlight is ON, the cornering switch incorporated into the combination switch is activated to illuminate the appropriate cornering light.

When the horn switch is turned ON, (independent of the position of the starter switch) the relay is activated to sound the horn.
