Driving

The hill-start assist control is available. (P. 369)
■ 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.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be especially slip-
pery.
● 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 surface, preventing the steering and
brakes from operating properly.
■ Engine speed while driving

to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to meet driving condi-
tions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
● The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
● When the accelerator pedal is released
■ Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the engine
output may be restrained.

operating. (P. 545)
