Observe the following precautions
when 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 slip-
pery.
Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, as
there is a risk of a layer of water
forming between the tires and the
road surface, preventing the steer-
ing and brakes from operating prop-
erly.
Operating the lever operates
the wipers or washer as follows.
