Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your M58 RC car.
- Cleaning: After use, especially in dusty or dirty environments, gently clean the car body and chassis with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.

- Out of Range: Ensure the car is within the 30M remote control distance.
- Interference: Operating in an area with strong radio interference can affect control. Move to a different location.

- Loss of Control/Unresponsive:
- Re-pair the remote controller with the vehicle if connection is lost. Refer to the full manual for specific pairing steps.
