Vehicle turn indicators

摘要

A turn indicator system for a vehicle with steerable wheels (II) is provided. The system comprises a manual turn indicator initiating means (25a) to manually activate or deactivate the operation of turn indicators (23,24), mechanical deactivation means (25) linked to a steering wheel (14) to deactivate the indicators automatically, and sensing means (28) to sense the steering angle of the wheels (11). Electronic control means (27) are provided to receive the steering angle signal and switch the de-activation of the operation of the turn indicators to electronic control when the steering angle signal exceeds a first predetermined value. When under electronic control any deactivation demand from the mechanical deactivation means (25) is disregarded and electronic deactivation only occurs when the steering angle signal falls to a second predetermined value.
