I too am still trying to figure the indication out, but it is my opinion the indicator lights up only when a vehicle approaches you, but certainly not as you pass a vehicle.

That is exactly what I found yesterday. When I put my blinker on next to a car it worked 100% of the time.

I also never noticed how often I don't use my blinker as I overtake a car on the highway with no other traffic around. The lane departure warning sure reminds you. LOL
