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 (except vehicles with a manual transmis-
■
sion)

This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.

●
When the accelerator pedal is released
●
When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected (if
●
equipped)
When the brake pedal is depressed suddenly and vehicle speed is reduced
●
sharply (continuously variable transmission)
