=== Outrunning the law ===
Like [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the player can outrun law enforcement to escape regardless of the number of Wanted Levels attained; however, unlike GTA IV, the search area is not confined to a specific radius. When the player is being chased by law enforcement, the [[Radar]] flashes red and blue and the stars are solid; however, if the police loses sight of the player, then the Radar stops flashing and the stars flash. During this probationary period, any police on the radar will have a field of vision (FOV) indicator; typically, officers on foot have the narrowest FOV, ground vehicles have a moderate FOV, and helicopters have the widest FOV. If the player enters any officer's FOV, then the chase is reengaged. If the player manages to enter a secluded area out of police sight, then the player's indicator arrow on the radar changes from white to gray. If the player can stay out of sight for a predetermined period of time, then law enforcement call off their search, and the player's Wanted status is removed. The amount of time needed to evade the police depends on number of stars attained.

The player can use the spray shop at [[Los Santos Customs]] to change their car's color to evade the police. As with GTA IV, the player cannot use the spray shop if they are in sight of the police. Their use completely removes the player's wanted level and advances time.
