An automotive electronic control system configured to receive and process motor vehicle-related data to control operation of automotive direction indicators, by implementing the following operations: receiving current steering wheel angle and motor vehicle speed, determining an initial steering wheel angle when a direction indicator is activated, determining minimum and maximum steering wheel angles reached during when the direction indicator is active, computing a steering wheel release angle based on the current motor vehicle speed, the steering wheel release angle representing the steering wheel angle beyond which the motor vehicle's steering wheel is to be steered in the direction indicated by the active direction indicator to cause, when at the end of steering manoeuvre the steering wheel is steered in the opposite direction, the automatic deactivation of the active direction indicator, and determining if and when to deactivate the active direction indicator based on the current steering wheel angle, the initial steering wheel angle, the minimum and maximum steering wheel angles and the steering wheel release angle.
