Safety instructions
A Carrera RC vehicle is a remote-
A
controlled model car that uses
special rechargeable batteries for this
purpose. Only original Carrera RC Li-Ion
recharge able batteries may be used.
Rechargeable batteries are to be re-
moved from the toy before being charged.
The Carrera RC vehicle is designed
B
for hobby use only and may only be
operated on tracks and in spaces espe-
cially intended for this purpose.
WARNING! Do not use the Carrera RC
vehicle in road traffic.
Do not operate the car beneath over-
C
head high-voltage cables or broad-
casting masts or during a storm! Atmos-
pheric disturbances can affect the
operation of the vehicle. When there a
large temperature differences between
your car's garage and the running track,
please wait until the vehicle has had time
to acclimatise. This will help prevent
conden sation forming and the possibility
of malfunctions resulting.
Never operate the product on grass
D
surfaces. There is the risk of grass
hindering the movement of the axles,
which can lead to the motor overheating.
Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle for
transporting goods, persons or animals.
Never use the Carrera RC vehicle
E
outdoors during rain or snowfall. The
car must not be run through water, pud-
dles and snow, and must always be kept
stored in a dry place. Wet surfaces with-
out puddles will not affect the car's per-
formance as the electronic equipment is
protected against spray.
Never operate the vehicle near riv-
F
ers, ponds or lakes, to avoid the risk
of the Carrera RC car falling into the
water. Avoid running on courses which
are laid exclusively with sand.
Do not expose the Carrera RC vehi-
G
cle to direct sunlight. To avoid the
electronics in the car overheating, when
temperatures are above 35 ° C, regular
short pauses in operation are essential.
Never subject the Carrera car to re-
H
peated changes of load – that means
continuously reversing it.
Always place the car on the floor by
I
hand. Never throw the car on the
floor from a standing position.
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps
K
higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft.).
Never use strong solvents for clean-
L
ing the car.
To avoid malfunctions to the control
M
system resulting in uncontrolled op-
eration of the Carrera RC vehicle, check
that the controller batteries and the re-
chargeable batteries in the vehicle have
sufficient charge. Supply terminals are
not to be short-circuited.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be in-
N
spected before and after operation,
each time it is used, to ensure that it has
not become disassembled. Any screws
or nuts that may have become loosened
during operation must be tightened.

1 x Controller
1 x Lanyard
1 x Battery Charger
1 x Rechargeable Battery
2 x 1.5 V Micro AAA batteries (non-rechargeable)
Charging the rechargeable battery
First connect the Carrera RC re-
2
chargeable battery to the battery
charger supplied. The connection termi-
nals between the battery and the charger
are designed to prevent connection with
the wrong polarity. Connect the charger
to a power source.
When the battery is properly connected
and charging normally, the red LED is
constantly lit. Once the battery is fully
charged, the red LED switches to green.
The battery can now be disconnected
and installed in the Carrera RC car. The
car is now ready for use.

ENGLISH
Always recharge the battery after use
to prevent its becoming deep dis-
charged. After use, the battery must
be allowed to cool down for at least
20 minutes before it can be fully re-
charged. Failure to observe thispause
may damage the battery. Recharge the
battery occasionally (suggested every
2–3 months). Failure to treat the bat-
tery as described above can lead to its
becoming defective.
Installing the rechargeable battery
Using a screwdriver, remove the
3
cover of the battery compartment in
the Carrera RC car.
Connect the end of the cable from the
Carrera RC vehicle with the charged bat-
tery. Put the battery in place. Replace the
compartment cover using a screwdriver.
Inserting the batteries
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and in-
4
sert the batteries in the remote control. Please keep in
mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and
used batteries are not to be mixed. After having closed the com-
partment you can check all functions of the remote control with the
help of the power-switch on the front. With the power-switch turned
ON and proper functioning, the top center LED on the remote
control will light up red.
Now you can drive the car
Bonding vehicle and controller
The Carrera RC car and the remote control are bound as a
5
factory setting.
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch. The LED on
6
top of the car will flash rhythmically.
2. Switch on the controller. The LED on top of the controller
7
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 or the braking point
If when using the Carrera RC vehicle, it starts to pull to
8
right or left, it can be corrected to run straight or the braking
point corrected as follows.
• Bond vehicle and controller as described in section
• Press the button on the top right hand side of the controller for
about two seconds. Adjusting mode is active as soon as the con-
troller LED flashes.
• Straight running can be adjusted with the right joystick.
• The braking point can be adjusted with the left joystick.
• To close the adjusting process, press the button on top right
hand side of the controller again for about 2 seconds.
Let's practise!
Warning! This vehicle reaches speeds up to 18 km/h
9
(11 mph). Practice on an empty surface at least 2.5 metres
(8.2') square. When first starting, be very careful when operat-
ing the gas pedal.
Now it's time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle rac-
10
ing track in a large empty area, using cornerposts, empty
cans, or similar objects. The basic technique to adopt when oper-
ating a Carrera RC is to drive fast on the straight sections and to
slow down in the curves.
