Trailer turn signals
When using turn signals while towing a trailer, the first trailer turn signal indicator
on the instrument panel is blinking.
When towing two trailers, both trailer turn signal indicators
and
on the
instrument panel are blinking.
If the trailer turn signal indicators do not blink as mentioned, there is a fault in one
or more trailer bulbs.
IMPORTANT:
The tractor's turn signal failure control for trailer/s is designed for trailers having
one pair of turn signals. Check the condition of the turn signals before starting to
drive. It is the driver's responsibility to check that all turn signals work correctly.
If both trailer turn signal indicators on the instrument panel blink in turn, there is a
short-circuit in one of the turn signal lines of the vehicle combination. In this case,
the line is turned off and this turn signal stops blinking. After 12 seconds the relay
tries to switch the turn signal line back on. To speed up the recovery, you can
switch the turn signals off and on again. If the fault still persists, contact an
authorised Valtra workshop.
The tractor's direction indicator failure control works also for the trailer LED
direction indicators, as required by law, when they include the Hella direction
indicator failure control.
