General
The lane change flasher system flashes the turn signal light a certain number of times when the turn signal switch (headlight dimmer switch assembly) is moved to the lane change position. By using the lane change flasher system when changing lanes, it is no longer necessary to hold the turn signal switch in the lane change position.
