Now you can drive the car
The Carrera RC car and the remote control are bound as a factory set-
ting.
5
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch. The LED on top of the
car will flash rhythmically.

2. Switch on the controller. The LED on top of the controller will
flash rhythmically.
After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and on the controller will light
continuously, meaning the bind has been made.

Adjusting the steering
If the Carrera RC vehicle is found to pull towards the left or right
while moving, use the adjuster control shown in the illustration to adjust
the car’s track precision.
Let’s practise!

Warning! This vehicle reaches high speeds!
Practice on an empty surface at least 2.5 metres (8.2’) square.
When first starting, be very careful when operating the gas pedal.

Now it’s time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle racing track
in a large empty area, using cornerposts, empty cans, or similar
objects. The basic technique to adopt when operating a Carrera RC is to
drive fast on the straight sections and to slow down in the curves.
• When changing from the first battery to the second battery, you
must stop running for at least ten minutes. At the next change, a
pause of at least 20 minutes is absolutely essential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
• If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the
battery is dead. Please recharge the battery.
• To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery. Always recharge the
battery after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged. After
use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 min-
utes before it can be fully recharged.
• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
• Clean the Carrera RC car after use.
