Key on the left, to the right its function plus, at a pinch, my comments to it.

Controlling of a truck:

Up arrow - accelerate; with Ctrl key - full throttle

Down arrow - brake; with Ctrl - emergency brake

Left arrow - turn left; with Ctrl - sharp turn left

Right arrow - turn right; with Ctrl - sharp turn right

A - gear up

Z - gear down

X - reverse gear

0 (zero) - neutral gear; you use this key only when you drive with manual gear box!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - successive gears; similarly a.b. you use these keys only when you drive with manual transmission.

- (minus) - clutch; key is in use only when driving with manual transmission - to change a gear you have to, just like in real car, hold the clutch (this key) pressed and then shift the gear by pressing its selected button.

B - handbrake

E - engine brake; its key becomes available only after buying a suitable car part in one of the repair shops, in this case - the above-mentioned motor brake!

Space - ignition on/off

W - windshield wipers; you'll stop using this key after the installation of a rain detector, which automatically turns the wipers on when it's raining, and off after the rainfall.

H - horn

S - boost; key is available only after the mounting of the NITRO installation in your truck.

< - left blinker

> - right blinker

? - emergency flashers

L - headlights; with a combination Ctrl + L you can switch between upper and lower headlight beams and this L key is no longer in use after installing in your vehicle the device that automatically controls the operation of truck's driving lights (though you can still change between upper and lower beams). Though not everybody will be satisfied with this mechanism (I mean it's not for everyone's eyes) - some of you may find out that this sensor turns on driving lights too late and switches them off too early!

R - Adaptive cruise control (ACC); you'll use this key only after installing in your vehicle the mechanism of cruise control (it can be bought in some repair shops), that maintains constant speed of a vehicle, regardless to the degree of stoop of the pavement - driver can take off his feet from the acceleration pedal. Cruise control switches off after depressing the acceleration or brake pedal again. By using Ctrl + R key combination you can resume cruise control at the previous set speed.

M - switching on the rear view monitor installed in your truck's cab, which shows on its screen the situation behind a truck. There are three views available and you can switch among them with Ctrl + M combination. Of course you use this M key only after buying in one of the repair shops the system that contains these three cameras and a monitor - thanks to them you don't have to look at side mirrors as often as usual.

T - hook/unhook trailer

Controlling of the electric side mirrors:

Delete/Page Down - move left mirror to the left or right (with Ctrl key you can control in this axis your right-sided mirror)

Home/End - move left mirror up or down (with Ctrl you control in this axis your right mirror)

Radio:

U - car radio on/off

J - next radio station; with Ctrl key - previous radio station

I - next audio track in selected radio station; with Ctrl - previous song

Controlling the views:

V - switching between external and in-cab view

C - in-cab view (three perspectives available: from driver seat, passenger seat and from sleeper cab)

Numbers (on the numeric keypad, you should switch on first with the NumLock key!) - successive perspectives of external views or scouting around the cab (for that last purpose you can also use your mouse instead of numpad)

- (minus on numeric keypad) - zoom out the view

+ (on numpad) - zoom in

/ (numpad) - taking a cam back (scale out)

* (on numeric keypad) - shifting the cam forward (scale in)

Other keys and their functions:

Ctrl - modifier; hold this button when pressing other keys, to call out their additional functions (for example: with combination Ctrl + M you can switch among the views offered by a monitor mounted in the cab, while M key itself turns this monitor on - see above)

Esc - go to in-game menu or skip cutscene

Enter - activation of an option or area entrance (repair shop, bar, motel, etc.) during the game

Y - positive ("yes") answer in mission dialogue

N - negative ("no") answer in mission dialogue
