Why Change the Blinker Signal Count from 3 to 5?
By default, most Mercedes models blink three times when the turn signal lever is lightly tapped. However, many drivers find it beneficial to increase the blinker indication to five times, particularly in heavy traffic or on highways. This provides clearer signals and makes lane changes safer.
