Conventional Steering

1). Hold the controller horizontally with both hands. Lightly place your left thumb over the Sixaxis' left joystick button. This is usually the default component for steering.
2). Accelerate your vehicle. Each game has different controls for acceleration, so refer to your game manual for the appropriate button. The "X" button on the controller's face or "R2" button at the top right corner are commonly used for this. Hold down the accelerator to keep going.
3). Gently push on the left joystick with your thumb. Move the joystick to the left or right, depending on where you wish to go. The controls are very sensitive. Too much pressure will cause a sudden, sharp turn.

1). Hold the Sixaxis horizontally with both hands.
2). Accelerate your vehicle using the assigned buttons.
3). Tilt the Sixaxis left or right to turn. Do not tilt too quickly or sharply, as this can cause you to lose control.
