Turn Signals: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION

Low-beam and high-beam
- Turn the lighting switch to "HEAD", and the contact point of the headlight relay will be closed to turn "ON" the headlight relay.
- Turn the dimmer switch to "LO", and the low-beam will be lit. Turn the switch to "HI" and the high-beam will be lit together with the low-beam.

Passing
- When the low-beam is lit, turn the passing switch to "ON", and the high-beam will be lit together with the low-beam.
- When the lighting switch is at "OFF" or "TAIL", and the passing switch is turned to "ON", the contact point of the headlight relay will be closed turning on the headlight relay, and the low-beam and high-beam will be simultaneously lit.

High-beam indicator light
- When the high-beam is lit or when the passing switch is activated, the high-beam indicator light will be lit.

Turn-signal lights
1. When operation is normal
- When the ignition switch is switched to the ON position, battery voltage is applied (via the multi-purpose fuse No.4 and hazard warning switch) to the turn-signal and hazard flasher unit.
- When the turn-signal switch is switched to the LH (or RH) position, Tr (within the flasher unit) is switched ON and OFF repeatedly. Then the contacts of the relay (also within the flasher unit) repeatedly switch from ON to OFF, causing the turn-signal lights and turn-signal indicator light LH (or RH) to flash.
2. If one bulb is burned out
- If either of the turn-signal light bulbs is burned-out, the resistance of the turn-signal circuit as a whole increases, resulting in shorter ON and OFF intervals of the Tr and a higher flashing rate of the lights.

Hazard-warning lights
- When the hazard-warning switch is switched to the "ON" position, the relay contact of the turn signal and hazard flasher unit is switched ON and OFF repeatedly, in the same manner as for the operation of the turn-signal lights, and the left and right turn-signal lights and turn-signal indicator lights simultaneously flash repeatedly.

NOTE
1. The number of flashes of the hazard-warning lights does not change if there is damaged or disconnected wiring of one light.
