Getting Started: Basic Movement Controls

Entering Your First Vehicle

When you first spawn into Tunados Brasil, you’ll notice the vibrant Brazilian atmosphere filled with car enthusiasts. To get started:

  1. Approach any vehicle – Walk close to a car you want to drive
  2. Press F – This will enter you into the driver’s seat
  3. Start the engine – Most vehicles start automatically, but some may require R or X key

Pro Tip: Some custom vehicles in Tunados Brasil use special starting mechanisms. If the car doesn’t start with W, try pressing R (for Auva motors vehicles) or X (for OpenChassis/ATS vehicles).

The basic controls follow the standard Roblox vehicle scheme, making it intuitive for most players:

  • W or Up Arrow: Accelerate forward
  • S or Down Arrow: Brake and reverse
  • A or Left Arrow: Steer left

Important Note: Unlike some Roblox games, Tunados Brasil features realistic physics. Your car won’t stop immediately when you release the accelerator – momentum carries you forward, just like real driving!
