Turn Signal Duration

[Ogata]

Does anyone else find that your 3's turn signal duration is rather too fast after signaling? Should there be something to look out for? I find that I don't even turn the wheel half way through and the signal light goes off after signaling when the wheel is recovered. I rented a 2010 before and didn't have the same issue. Thoughts / Opinions or do I need a video to show what I mean?

How soon does your signal light go off after you make a turn? I find that it goes off not even half way through my turn!

I'd rather that than having to turn it off manually! Before I bought my car I had 2 Pontiac G5 rentals, and the freakin signals NEVER turned off!!!!!! So annoying. I've learned to love mine. :P

But actually, it shouldn't be as bad as you're describing... If you turn your wheel too hard then start to turn back slightly mid-turn that could be why? I dunno. Mine turns off when the wheel starts sliding back with approximately 45 degrees left to starting position.... if that makes sense... hahahhaha

It doesn't bother me, as long as it turns off, it's fine, but my older cars had the turn signal for a bit longer.

But in reality, you don't need the signal to be on while you're making the turn, the indicator, as the name implies, is to indicate that you are about to turn, and once the maneuver is in progress, the signal is no longer needed.

ive never really noticed it turning off early, it turns off when I start turning the wheel back to straight, aslong as its on to show im intending to turn thats fine by me, keeps MOST people from slamming into your back end :chuckle
