KINECT
Kinect
®
gives you voice control over your EasyDrive menu and other selected car controls,
letting you keep your hands on the wheel while you access these features. Using it is as simple
as saying what you see to make it happen.
To open EasyDrive say “EasyDrive”. To close EasyDrive, just say “Drive”. On the main menu,
read out the option (“races”, “change car”, “customize car”, and more) you’d like to select and
you jump straight to it.
On the submenus, moving through options is as simple as saying “Next” to move down the
menu and “Previous” to move up. When the option you want is highlighted, say “Yes” to open
it. Want to go back up a level in the menu? Then simply say “Go Back”. Want to see more? Say
“Show More” to move down screens with multiple pages.
If you are experiencing problems with Kinect Command recognition, try reducing your volume
levels. Kinect voice control is only available in single player.

screen when driving.
