CHAPTER 5 – PLAYING A GAME
Playing a Game
Use the Steering Wheel, Gas, Brake and Shifter as in any driving game to control the car. The buttons can
enhance the game play by allowing you to look behind the car, change the view from the inside the car to the
front bumper, and honk at other cars. Hold the music button to change the song on the radio, or tap it to turn
the music off. Use the information on screen to tell you your position in the race, speed, and lap time as you
race against other players.
