System Operation

SYSTEM OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the On position, and the multi-function switch control lever moved up (right turn) or down (left turn), the turn signal system is activated. The switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic cancellation, and an intermediate momentary position that provides turn signals only until the multi-function switch lever is released.

When the turn signal switch is in a detent position, it is turned off by one of two cancelling cam lobes molded into the hub of the clockspring mechanism. When turning the steering wheel causes one of the cam lobes to contact a cancel actuator in the multi-function switch, the turn signal switch automatically returns to the off position.

When the turn signal system is activated, the selected (right or left) turn signal indicator lamp, front park/turn signal lamp, front side marker lamp, and rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp bulbs will flash. With the headlamp switch in the Off position, the front turn signal and front side marker lamps flash in unison. With the headlamp switch in the On position, the front turn signal and front side marker lamps flash alternately.
