ABSTRACT:
Individual/driver-defined durations of lever-off automotive turn signaling are provided in response to the application of one or more "taps" to a vehicle's signal lever. A counter is incremented for each tap detected by monitoring circuitry. A non-zero tap count imparts the timing out of lever-off signaling. A timed-signaling duration is the sum of either one or a series of predetermined-length, tap-associated duration segments. As each segment is timed out, the tap counter is decremented. On-the-fly extensions of the duration are enabled. Reset provisions and the transparent invoking means preclude conflicts with non-timed signaling.
