===Search radius===
Police are in constant radio contact with one another, which is reflected in the 'search radius' system -- when the player attracts a Wanted Level, a 'search radius' will appear on the map, in the form of a flashing red and blue circle centered on the player's position when the police are first alerted to the crime.  While within this radius, the player's Wanted Level does not decrease; the goal is to move outside of this circle without the police making visual contact with the player again -- if they do, the circle re-centers itself at the player's current position.  If the player escapes the circle and avoids the police for several seconds, the player's wanted status is entirely removed.


===Pay 'n' Spray===
Unlike [[GTA III Era|GTA III era games]], Wanted Levels cannot be lost by picking up [[Police Bribes|police bribes]], as these no longer exist; the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] service is, however, still available. Unlike in previous games, Pay 'n' Sprays cannot be used in sight of police, even for vehicle repair; visibility to police is indicated by whether the wanted stars on the [[HUD]] are white (visible) or grey (out of sight). Pay 'n' Sprays instantly remove the player's Wanted level, and their use advances the in-game clock three hours.

Swaping cars===
 
 
GTA IV gives you the chance to swap cars while in the radius. This can only be done if the player wanted stars are greyed out and in a quiet location (e.g wherehouse, behind a fence). After the player has change cars, he may drive out and on the road.(This may not work in somecases).
