Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very smal l percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching
video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, incl uding lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from fal ling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children
and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the
television screen, using a smal ler television screen, playing in a well-l it room, and not
playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a h istory of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playi ng.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual
contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand
before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especial ly front- or rearprojection types, can be damaged if any video games, i ncluding Xbox games, are
played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may
“burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear
at al l times, even when video games are not being pl ayed. Simil ar damage may occur
from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your
television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your
set. If you are unable to find th is information in the owner’s manual, contact your
television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely
on your set.

LAYER PROFILES
The sport of rallying is unlike any other you’ve encountered.
It’s dangerous. It’s dirty. And, above all, it’s violent. Not only
are you strapped behind the wheel of a ton-and-a-half,
turbo-charged monster, you’re flinging yourself at full speed
down rough, rugged, untamed back roads. Even when you’re
racing wheel to wheel against other drivers in Rallycross, Ice
Racing, or Hil l Climb challenges, Mother Nature still might be
your most formidable opponent.
Right here in your hot, eager hands, you hold the sequel to the
first Ral l iSport Chal lenge, and a myriad of wonders awaits you
on that shiny silver disc…
• Go online to join the global competition with XSN Sports
and Xbox Live™.
• Link up to 16 Xbox® consoles, and play locally with up to 16
players. (One player per console, please!)
• Watch how reckless driving affects your car, as glass
shatters, bumpers drag, hoods pop open, and doors simply
fall off.
• Experience nighttime
driving, where al l
you’ve got to rely on
are the words of your
co-driver and the 15
feet you can see in
front of you.
When you first enter the Select Profile screen, you are
asked to create a player profile. This profile contains al l
the points you earn in Career mode, as well as your
personalized settings.
After you have selected a profile, you see the Sign In screen.
On this screen, you can sign in to Xbox Live using an existing
account or go back to the Xbox Dashboard to create a new
Xbox Live account. If you prefer to play Ral liSport C hallenge 2
offline, press X to skip the sign-in process and go directly to
the Main menu.
Difficulty Settings
Before beginning a new Career, you’ll select your difficulty
setting—Amateur, Pro, or Champion. On the Amateur
setting, you can restart any track, while on Pro or Champion
you can restart whole events only. Also, the higher the
difficulty setting, the tougher the AI opponents. However, you’l l
be rewarded on those higher settings with the opportunity to
unlock bonuses, such as extra cars and tracks.
To change profiles
1. Press B while on the Sign In screen or in the Main menu
to return to the Select Profile screen.
2. Select the profile you want to use, or create a new one.
If you want to change your difficulty setting, you must go
back to the Main menu and begin a new Career.

AME SCREEN
Use the heads-up display (HUD) to keep track of important
race information.
Tachometer/Speedometer The outer ring of the gauge
displays your RPM, while your speed and gear are indicated as
numerals. When using the analog setting, the small indicator
in the center of the gauge shows your turbo-pressure level.
To switch between an analog or digital gauge, select Options
from the Pause menu, and then select HUD.
Race Timer The timer in the upper-right corner of the screen
displays your current total time for this race.
Progress Bar The progress bar across the top of the screen
displays your current position on the race stage.
When racing solo, if your time on a section is better than
the competition, that section of the progress bar wil l be
coloured green. If you’re behind, it wil l be red. When racing
head to head, each segment of the progress bar wil l be the
same colour as the player who has received the best time on
that stage.
Navigational Aids Depending on the race type, you are aided
by either pace notes or a course map. Pace notes, available
only in Rally mode, are visual cues that warn you of upcoming
turns and road conditions (see pages 8 -11). To choose a
navigational type, select Options from the Pause menu, and
then select HUD. Note that in Multipl ayer mode, each player’s
HUD can be set individually.
