Hi,

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

If the signals turn on without actuating them, the first thing I would check is the signal flasher relay. It may have failed internally and making contact at different times and conditions.

If you look below, I attached a pic I was able to find online and highlighted the flasher/relay location. Remove it and shake it to see if anything sounds loose. Also, here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if both sides turn on or is it just one side.

Take care,

Joe
