5.1 Powering On and Pairing

Ensure both the vehicle and the remote control have charged batteries. Turn on the vehicle using the switch located on its underside. Then, turn on the remote control. The 2.4 GHz digital frequency control system will automatically pair, allowing operation of up to 16 remote control vehicles simultaneously without interference.

5.3 Special Features

• Splash-Proof Design: The vehicle features a splash-proof, water-resistant body, allowing operation on wet, slippery surfaces.
• Sound Effects: Turn on the sound feature to hear life-like racing noises.
• Body Tilting Action: Yoshi leans to the side as you take turns, adding realism to the driving experience.
• Enhanced Control: Differential gear, pneumatic tires, and a full-spring suspension provide improved handling and stability.

6. Maintenance

• Regularly clean the vehicle to remove dirt and debris, especially from the wheels and chassis. Use a soft, dry cloth.
• Store the vehicle and remote control in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Remove batteries from the remote control if storing for extended periods to prevent potential leakage and damage.
• Inspect tires for wear and tear and ensure they are free from embedded objects.

7. Troubleshooting

• Vehicle not responding: Ensure both the vehicle and remote control are powered on. Check that the vehicle's rechargeable battery is fully charged and correctly installed. Verify the AAA batteries in the remote control are fresh and properly inserted.
• Poor range or interference: While the 2.4 GHz system minimizes interference, ensure no other strong radio signals or large metallic objects are nearby that could disrupt the connection.
• Vehicle not moving straight: If the vehicle veers to one side, check for a steering trim adjustment on the remote control (if available) or inspect the steering mechanism for any obstructions or damage.
