■ When starting off on an uphill (vehicles with hill-start assist control sys- 
tem)

■ Driving in the rain 
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win- 
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery. 
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe- 
cially slippery. 
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, 
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur- 
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly. 
■ Engine speed while driving (automatic transmission) 
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving. 
This is due to automatic up-shifting c ontrol or down-shifting implementation to 
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration. 
● The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
