Sometimes the prompt doesn't appear, but you can still enter. -

- if they say to shoot left or right, then they probably have spotted a serious threat that needs eliminating so unless you're shooting at a guy with a laser or missile pod, turn where ever the driver says.

- he'll be defenseless and very angry by the time they re-spawn.
More than anyone, it is your job to go down with the vehicle, unless of course you can both do it safely and without hitch. , Remember, if your driver sees an opponent and you're facing the other way, the only way you can know is if they tell you and the same goes the other way
