SAFETY INFORMATION

About Photosensitive Seizures

A very small 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, including 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 falling 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 smaller television screen, playing in a welllit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

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, especially front- or

rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including 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 all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar 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 this 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.

In Point to Point, race from one point to the next in an attempt to set the fastest time.

Options

Modify your audio options and soundtrack, make changes to the HUD, choose English or metric units, select your controller setup, and watch replays.

In-Game Assists

Stability Management (STM) helps maintain vehicle control under difﬁcult cornering conditions.

Traction Control (TCS) maximizes grip between the vehicle’s driven tires and the road surface under acceleration.

Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) rapidly alters brake pressure to maintain maximum braking force at the threshold of wheel lockup.

Suggested Line helps you learn racing techniques by drawing a racing line on the track. Green indicates you should accelerate, and red indicates you should slow down (by releasing the gas and/or applying the brakes). However, racing the suggested line doesn’t guarantee victory. The optimum speed and line for each race might be different across drivers, cars, conditions, and setups.
