select "Options" at the car select screen to choose
upgraded opponents.
Dashboard view
Press [Start] to load the race after selecting
the game options, then immediately hold [Up] + [Triangle]
+ [X] before the loading screen appears. Keep the buttons
held until the loading screen disappears. A dashboard will now
appear in the in-car view.
Remove race statistics screen
Hold [Triangle] for a few seconds during a race
to make the statistics (time, speed, radar, etc.) disappear. To
display them again, hold [Triangle].
Turbo boost
Enable the "Dashboard view" code, then press
[Up] during game play.
For the turbo boost without the dashboard view, or when in two
player mode: Press [Start] to load the race after selecting
the game options, then immediately hold [Up] + [Triangle]
+ [Square] before the loading screen appears. Keep the buttons
held until the loading screen disappears. Then, press [Up]
during game play.
Drunk mode
Press [Start] to load the race after selecting
the game options, then immediately hold [Up] + [R1]
+ [L2] before the loading screen appears. Keep the buttons
held until the loading screen disappears. The screen will become
blurred, with ten cars appearing in place of one.

Press [Start] to load the race after selecting the game options,
then immediately hold [Left] + [Square] + [Circle]
before the loading screen appears. Keep the buttons held until
the loading screen disappears. Your car will become heavier, allowing
you to run into other cars and send them flying. This is especially
useful in the open road special events.
Slow CPU cars

to load the race after selecting the game options, then immediately
hold [Left] + [Square] + [Circle] before the loading
screen appears. Keep the buttons held until the loading screen
disappears. Alternately, hold [Right] + [Circle] + [Square].
Quick resume
Press [Select] after crashing to quickly return
to the middle of the road. This is very useful after crashing
into a wall that you must back up from before continuing.
Easy cars and money
Note: This version of the trick requires two memory
cards. You need to own at least one car and have enough money
($20,000) to buy a new car. Once this is accomplished, copy the
Need For Speed 4 file to another memory card. While both memory
cards are in the PlayStation, race in the High Stakes mode and
have player two intentionally forfeit at the beginning of the
race. Player one should now have two of the same car. Copy the
saved data to the other card again and repeat. You can then sell
all your cars for a large amount of money.
To perform this trick with only one memory card, enter high stakes
mode and the game will search port one for a memory card before
checking port two. If there is no card in port two, the game will
prompt you to retry. Simply remove the card from port one and
insert it into port two to have double the cars.
Have at least two cars or one car and $20,000 saved to a memory
card. Use the "Easy money" hint to earn some money.
Sell the cars that you have won. Buy a car, but do not save it
on your memory card. Use the "Easy money" hint. You
will be able to use the car owned when saved. After one win, you
will now have both of those cars, plus the one(s) that you bought
with the money from the first one. You now have one extra car.
Unlimited money
Play the game in two player High Stakes mode and keep
raising money until you can buy two of each car. After this point,
every time a tournament or a single race is entered you will have
three McLaren F1 GTRs. Sell one to build your total cash. After
selling one of those cars, go to a race in a single race mode.
Race, then go back to the car dealer. Three McLarens will be there.
Activate lights
Hold [L1] and press [Left] or [Right]
to use the turn signals. Hold [L1] and press [Up] to
turn on the headlights. Hold [L1] and press [Down] to
turn on the hazard lights.
When you drive in the dark, you will always have your lights on.
You can turn them bigger and smaller by pressing [Up]. Press
[L1] + [Up] to turn them completely off. Once they are
off, press [Up] and you will be in the dark.
Activate horn
Press [Up] to beep your horn.
To use the horn at night, use a Dual Shock controller. Press "Analog",
then [L3] or [R3].
Change music
Pause game play during a race. Resume the game to change
the current song.
Hints
Easy turning
To prevent too much sliding while turning, pause game
play. When the game is resumed, your car will automatically straighten
up.
Power slide
If you are going around a tight corner, press [Triangle]
and you will slide into place. This is most useful in kindermak
Park at the hair pin turn.
To perform ridiculous power slides, choose the Mercedes CLK-GTR
as your car. It has 60% of its weight at the back. Next, go
to car tuning and set suspension to as soft as it will go. Experiment
with things such as turn speed, tire type, and cheats. This car
has a lot of oversteer, and is great fun to drive.
Burn rubber
Press [Square] + [X] to burn rubber.
Gold Diablo SV chase
Select Hot Pursuit mode under the expert skill level.
Begin game play and look for a road block with a Super Cop with
gold Diablo SV with blue and yellow lights instead of the silver
Corvette with red and blue lights.
Special event skip
Once the BMW Z3 Special Event has been successfully
completed, you need to enter the Tournament with the Camaro and
Firebirds. Forfeit the first race when it starts, then repeat
this with all the remaining races. Once this has been completed,
you can go to the special event and win with your Camaro/Firebird.
Extra hot pursuit time
Do not enter a name to get more time in single player
hot pursuit mode.
Hot pursuit mode items
When playing the cop in hot pursuit mode, [L1]
during the chase and a small item box will appear in the bottom
right corner. Keep [L1] held and press a button for backup,
road blocks, etc.
Eliminate Nemesis
Enable the "Heavier car" code (and optionally,
the "Turbo boost" code). If Nemesis is in first place,
slam or spin his car so that one of the other cars is in first,
your car is in second, and his car is in any other position. Nemesis
should fall back slightly. Regain first place without Nemesis
passing you. Nemesis should fall back into last or second to last
place and will trail behind the pack. He will remain in this position
as long as he does not pass your car. If this is done during a
tournament race, he will remain in that position for the rest
of the tournament.
Easier Hot Pursuit arrests
Press [L1] + [Up] to turn off the sirens
in your police car in hot pursuit mode. The speeder should begin
to slow down. Turn the sirens back on after your car is in position
to arrest the driver.
Another way to make Hot Pursuit arrest easier is to enable the
"Turbo boost" and the "Heavier car" codes.
To do this, enable the "Turbo boost" code for a single
race or test drive. Then, enable the "Heavier car" code
for the Hot Pursuit. Make sure damage is set to "on".
Use the turbo to catch up with the speeder, then ram the car.
After doing this several times, if you have not caught him already,
the speeder will begin to slow down greatly.
Saving money
Save the game before entering big competitions. When
you crash in a tournament or special event and do not want to
pay, simply reset the PlayStation.
Program music
Choose the "CD Player" selection at the options
menu. You will be able to program the music you want to hear by
pressing [X] to toggle the songs.
Glitch: Flying crashes
Choose any race type, then choose Kindiak Park as a
track. There is a glitch in the game that allows you to send your
car flying through the air, with hang times upwards of five seconds,
and with great crashes at the end. In forward driving, as you
round the last right-hand bend approaching the finish line at
the railroad tracks, head for the left side of the track. You
will see an embankment on each side of the tracks where they leave
the screen. Basically, you will need to drive between the last
light pole before the tracks and the crossing signal, launching
your car off of the first embankment onto the other, jumping the
tracks. Try to barely hit the embankments -- if you travel too
far up onto the hill, you will hit an invisible "wall".
If you can get the car to launch in this way, it will sail high
in the air off of the second embankment, often rounding the first
right-hand bend of the track while still airborne.
Glitch: Disappearing or small car in replay
This cheat works in replay mode. Select a car, then
choose Canada: Kindiak Park . Drive normally but do not go the
wrong way. After you finish the race, view the replay. The car
will drive straight and then turn right. Before it turns and passes
the trees, pause the replay. Cycle through all the camera views
until reaching camera number 1 again. You will see only trees
without the car or a very small car. If this does not happen,
use camera number 3.
Glitch: Quick Hot Pursuit time
Select the first track in France in Hot Pursuit mode.
When your police car is almost aside the car being chased, get
in front of it and intentionally crash into the wall. If done
correctly, the game will register the him as being caught with
a very quick time.
Glitch: Stop talking and moving
Select single player mode, then choose Hot Pursuit.
Play as a cop and when he is talking to headquarters, press [L2].
He will stop talking and moving.
Glitch: Pass through invisible walls
Start the race on either the Mediterraneo or the Mystic
Peaks track with the McLaren F1 in simulation mode. At any time
during the race, drive in reverse, keep your horn blaring, and
hit any at moveable object (except for signs) at about 60 mph.
Then, drive over 80 mph and hit any guard rail, bridge, etc. to
fly off the track.
