TURN SIGNAL DInger... just like seatbelt!!??

[roperteacher]

I was driving home the other day and had my turn signal on. I was trying to pass someone on the freeway. It was on for about a minute and I couldn't get over. Soon enough, I heard the dinger, like the seatbelt. Looked at all the guages, nothing. Soon as I turned off the Turn signal, no more dinger... . I didn't know I had this feature??????? Oo. Anyone had it???

Yes, it's a feature so that you don't forget to turn your turn signal off.

It worked.

It's funny, after 70,000 miles this is the firs time I have used it!!! It must ONLY work at HWY speeds?? Cause I have sat at signal lights for 5+ minutes with it on and it never dinged. . thanks!!

i think it is a good feature. . too many people around my area driving around signaling left for the 30 min i follow them on my drive to work. the drivers are all broken. some never turn on the signals [must have finger broken] and some never turn them off. can't win

I think it goes by distance not time.

It sort of startled me the first (and only) time it went off.

it is distance based as well as speed triggered

It will go off after 1 mile of driving above 15mph so if you go under the 15mph I think it resets thats why rarely you will hear it in the city...
