D—Extensive idling
E—Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F—Driving in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas
G—Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H—Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I—Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas
J—Frequent off road use or driving in water
K—Sustained high speed driving
