C. Self-canceling flasher system
3. Circuit diagram.
1. Description
The self-cancaling flasher system turns off
the turn signal after a period of time or
distance involved in turning or changing
lanes. Generally, the signal will cancel
after either 10 seconds, or 130 meters,
whichever is greater. At very low speed,
the function is determined by distance; at
high speed, it is determined by time. At low
speed, especially when changing speeds,
the canceling determination is a combina-
tion of both time and distance.
2. Operation:
The handle switch has three positions:
L (left), OFF, and R (right). The switch
lever will return to the “OFF” position
after being p u s h e d to L or R, but the
signal will function. By pushing the lever
in, the signal may be cancelled manually,
