    SRR_360_MNLGUTS.qxp 8/14/07 5:30 PM Page 2 Thank you for purchasing SEGA Rally Revo™. Please note that this software is designed for use with the Xbox 360 computer entertainment system. Be sure to read this software manual thoroughly Before playing this game, read the Xbox 360 Instruction WARNING before you start playing. Manual and any peripheral manuals for important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, see www.xbox.com/support or call Xbox Customer Support. Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

Automakers organize their production using platforms, representing shared engineering across different models. A platform level of aggregation is therefore useful when examining the opportunities for and impacts of redesign. This paper explores the CO2 emissions-related characteristics of major platforms in the U.S. market, using data for model year 2002. The top 30 platforms were found to hold 69% of sales and emit 72% of the annualized CO2 contribution of the model year 2002 new light vehicle fleet. Variations of up to 35% in vehicle weight were observed for models within a given platform. The within-platform variation of CO2 emissions rate ranged up to 45% for all platforms among the top 30, except a platform including diesel engines, which had a 67% variation. Across major platforms, average CO2 emissions rates varied by a factor of 2.3 from lowest to highest. Powertrain efficiency, as indicated by ton-miles per gallon, varied by 40% across platforms, with both the lowest and highest values being seen in truck platforms.

    SR_PC_MG_UK.qxp 4/9/07 17:20 Page 1 SEGA RALLY PC MANUAL FRONT COVER UK SR_PC_MG_UK.qxp 4/9/07 17:20 Page 2 SEGA PC DISC – NOTES ON USE HEALTH ISSUES Use this software in a well-lit room, staying a good distance away from the monitor or TV screen to not overtax your eyes. Take breaks of 10 to 20 minutes every hour, and do not play when you are tired or short on sleep. Prolonged use or playing too close to the monitor or television screen may cause a decline in visual acuity. In rare instances, stimulation from strong light or flashing when staring at a monitor or television screen can cause temporary muscular convulsions or loss of consciousness for some people. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a doctor before playing this game. If you experience any dizziness, nausea, or motion-sickness while playing this game, stop the game immediately. Consult a doctor when any discomfort continues. PRODUCT CARE Handle the game discs with care to prevent scratches or dirt on either side of the discs. Do not bend the discs or enlarge their centre holes. Clean the discs with a soft cloth, such as a lens cleaning cloth. Wipe lightly, moving in a radial pattern outward from the centre hole towards the edge. Never clean the discs with paint thinner, benzene, or other harsh chemicals. Do not write or attach labels to either side of the discs. Store the discs in their original case after playing. Do not store the discs in a hot or humid location.
