GREEN = ReadyRED = Charging 

Never subject the Carrera car to repea­ted changes of load - that means conti­nuously reversing it.

A Carrera RC vehicle is a remote­controlled model car that uses special
rechargeable batteries for this purpose.
Only original Carrera RC Li-Ion
rechargeable batteries may be used.
Rechargeable batteries are to be
removed from the toy before being
charged.

The Carrera RC vehicle is designed for
hobby use only and may only be oper­ated on tracks and in spaces especially
intended for this purpose.
CAUTION! Do not use the Carrera RC
vehicle in road traffic.

Do not operate the car beneath overhead
high-voltage cables or broadcasting masts
or during a stor m! Atmospheric distur­bances can affect the operation of the
vehicle. When there a large temperature
differences between your car’s garage and
the running trac k, please wait until the
vehicle has had time to acclimatise. This
will help prevent condensation forming and
the possibility of malfunctions resulting.

Never operate the product on grass
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 out­doors during rain or snowfall.
The car must not be run through water,
puddles and snow, and must always be
kept stored in a dry place.

Never operate the vehicle near rivers,
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 vehicle
to direct sunlight.
To avoid the electronics in the car over­heating, when temperatures are above
35 °C, regular short pauses in operation
are essential.

Safety instructions

Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps
higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft.).

Always place the car on the floor by
hand. Never throw the car on the floor
from a standing position.

Never use strong solvents for cleaning
the car.

To avoid malfunctions to the control
system resulting in uncontrolled opera­tion of the Carrera RC vehicle, check
that the controller batteries and the
rechargeable batteries in the vehicle
have sufficient charge.

Supply terminals are not to be short-cir­cuited.

The Carrera RC vehicle must be
inspected 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.

Charging the rechargeable battery Now you can drive the car

Installing the rechargeable battery

Inserting the batteries

Let’s practise!

Always recharge the battery immediately af ter use to prevent its becoming deep
discharged. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggeste d every 2-3 months).
Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective

.
Rechargeable batteries are only t o be charged under adult supervision!
Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults or by childr en at least  
8 years old.

First connect the Carrera RC rechargeable
battery to the battery charger supplied. The
connection terminals 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.
After use, the battery must be allowed to cool
down for at least 20 minutes before it can be
fully recharged. Failure to observe this
pause may damage the battery.

Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the
batter y compartment in the Carrera RC car.

Connect the end of the cable from the Car­rera RC vehicle with the charged battery. Put
the battery in place.
Replace the compartment cover using
a screwdriver.

Open the batter y compartment with a
screwdriver and insert the batteries in
the remote control. Please keep in mind
the correct polarity. Different types of batte-

ries or new and used batteries are not to
be mixed. After having closed
the compartment 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.

CAUTION! This vehicle reaches 
speeds up to 20 km/h (13 mph). Prac-

tice on an empty surface at least 2.5
metres (8.2’) square. When operating

the model for the first time, be  care­ful with the accelerator, as the car 
reacts very sensitively. You should

practice slow running for at least two or
three full battery charges before going
on to faster manoeuvres.

The Carrera RC car and the remote
control are bound as a factory set ting.

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.

1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF
switch. The LED on top of the car will
flash rhythmically.

Attach the lanyard to the eyelet on the
controller and let the controller hang
from your neck.

CAUTION! Danger of strangulation!

SERVO TRONIC

You can use the joysticks to carry out
precise steering and driving manoeu­vres.

The joysticks are removable.
Alternatively, the vehicle can be
controlled with a rocker.

The joysticks can be stored in the spe­cial compartment at the back of the
controller.

Problem Cause Solution

Car does not move

Either the switch on the controller or the car is set to OFF. Switch on.

There is no rechargeable battery in the car or the batter y is too weak. Insert charge d batter y.

The car has come to a stop at an obstacle.

The voltage surge protector has switched the car off.
Turn the ON/OFF switch on the car to OFF, then back to ON, and
place the car on a clear surface.

The battery or rechargeable battery in the transmitter or model is too
weak.

Insert new battery or recharged battery.

The remote control is possibly not correctly frequency bound with the
receiver on the model

Carry out a frequency bind between the model and the remote control
as described in “Now you can drive the car”

The transmitter has switched itself off after 30 minutes.

To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on both controller & vehicle to
OFF and then back to ON..

The vehicle is very warm.

Switch both car and controller off and allow the car to cool down for
about 30 minutes.

The overheat protection has caused the car’s motor to cut out due to
excess temperature.

Switch off the receiver.
Leave the RC car to cool down for approx. 30 minutes.

Car cannot be controlled

Vehicle starts moving unintentionally. First turn on the transmitter, only then the vehicle.

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 ru n-

ning 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.

•

After 30 minutes inactivity, the  controller and v ehicle switch off automatically. 
To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on the controller & the car to OFF and 
then back to ON.

•

To switch off aft er use, follow the steps in the reverse  order.

• After use, remove or disconnect the battery.     Always recharge the battery 
  immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged.

•     Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the  vehicle .

•

Clean the Carrera RC ca r after use.
