Just a curious question... i was driving home today from the shop and just lightly tapped the blinker handle and it didnt fully click in, and the blinker flashed 3 times and then stopped so i tryed this a few times and it tends to always flash three times if the handle hasnt clicked in.... does everyones car do this or is it time to go kick the mitsubishi service guys ass???

Its just the Mitsubishi Lancer - it's called a Lane Change Indicator...It's a GOOD thing..
basically it's designed so that we can lightly tap it to change lanes and not be an old granny and leave it flashing.
To turn corner though must click in so that its flashing all the way through the corner - it'll unclick like a normal car as you turn the wheel back to straight.

Yeah! thats just another special feature of the CJ! it's the Lane Change feature! just push your indicator slightly and it will flash 3 times so you can change lanes, cool isn't it!

Gotta love the CJ's automatic shit.
Lights, Wipers, Indicators - I just have to drive!

yeh its pretty handy, it just freaked me out that night coz i had never even heard of it before since i used to have a ce lancer before this and it was pretty shitty compared to a cj

Didn;t the salesman mention it? They're supposed to when they run you through everything when you pick up the car...

Maybe...i just wanted to get out of there and drive the new car and i was mainly looking around the car to see if it had any scratches on it, so yer i was a bit distracted

Yes - It's a feature on nearly all European cars and is one of the best things ever... My dad's old Mercedes SL had it and that was from the 70's... LOL

I have found too that the noise of the indicator can be so quiet at times, I missed the fact it didn't cancel it, or I forgot, so I end up cruising around with it on for a while .....

Tarquin qualifies as one of those old granny's that I mentioned..
It should be second nature to turn them off - but auto-off works as well

I always used to forget to turn my LIGHTS on at night...I used to get flashed so much....Then I got my nice automatic-everything Lancer

Then I drove Dad's 2007 Pajero (We like our Mitsu's) when he went on hols (I needed to save some petrol money SOMEHOW and he left the keys on the top) and I drove 60% of the way home with the lights off - I didn't realise til I hit the 100 zone - about 20 km's from where I started - and ran out of streetlights...
