DRIVING & SAFETY TIPS:
• When you have finished playing, make sure that you turn the On/Off switch on the controller
and the Real Driver to “Off”.
• Remember that when the vehicle is coming towards you, it will steer in the opposite
direction to the way you turn the wheel. Try to imagine that you are in the driver’s seat to
work out the direction it will turn in.
• Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing away from the tires and wheels while the vehicle is in
motion.
• Never drive your Real Driver on the streets.
• Do not pick up the vehicle while it is in motion.
• Do not drive the vehicle through water.
• For best results, hold the antenna up, not pointing down towards the vehicle.
