■ When starting off on a uphill

■ Driving in the rain
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows
may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from operating properly.
