Steps
Find a car you like or want to steal or hijack. Cars can be found parked anywhere on the map. Just look along the sides of the roads or parking lots to find one. Pick the car you want to get and approach it.
Look around for cops. Before you steal a car, look around and check if there are cops around the area. If you see one, you may want to let him walk by first until he’s a few meters away from you. Stealing a car while there’s a cop near you will instantly raise your wanted level to one star. Cops will start chasing you and shoot at your car.
Get into the car. Stand right beside the vehicle and press the Y (Xbox), Triangle (PlayStation), or F (PC) button to get into the car. Your character will break the side window, enter, and start the vehicle. In some occasions, a car may have an alarm. Once your character breaks the side window, the alarm will set off. Don’t panic because the alarm is useless unless there are cops near the vehicle. It will eventually turn itself off after a few seconds.
Now you can drive your stolen car wherever you want! Whether if it's a killing spree, for a mission, or just plain joyrides. Press the Right Trigger (Xbox), L2 (PlayStation), or W (PC) button to accelerate and drive away from the spot.
Get away from cops. If there are cops around the area when you stole a car, they will chase after you. To escape the cops, look at the mini map on the lower left corner of the screen to check the range of the police, marked by a large flashing circle, that’s chasing you. Simply speed away out of the cop’s range, and they will stop chasing you, removing any wanted star you have.

Walk along the sides of the road. Cars can be seen on every street on the map. Just walk along the sides of the street and wait for the car you want to steal to drive by.

Hijacking a car while there’s a cop near you will instantly raise your wanted level to one star. Cops will start chasing you and shoot at your car.
Stand in front of the car. Once the car is getting close, walk up the street and stand in its way. The driver will stop the vehicle and honk at you. Do not steal cars from the freeway. These vehicles are moving too fast, and standing on its way will only kill you. Hijack cars that are moving at an average speed, like those on avenues or streets.
Get into the car. Walk towards the side of the vehicle and press the Y (Xbox), Triangle (PlayStation), or F (PC) button to get in. Your character will open the door and pull the driver out of the vehicle.
