	Vehicle control has virtually remained unchanged throughout the series. Entry into a vehicle, be it by [[carjacking]] or otherwise, requires only a stroke of a key or button. Road vehicles since Grand Theft Auto 1 (and, similarly, ships) allow the player to accelerate, brake, steer and engage the handbrake or emergency brake (E-brake). When a vehicle is stationary, the brake command can be used to reverse a vehicle, while the E-brake can be used to execute sharp turns or while parked on an incline to prevent rolls down the slope. Road vehicles are commonly available with a working horn and a [[Radio Stations\|radio]] or, for emergency vehicles, [[~~Police~~ Radio\|emergency radio chatter]].
