Operating Instructions
Powering On
Turn on both bumper cars and their corresponding remote controls using the power switches located on each unit.
Pairing (Automatic)
The 2.4 GHz wireless remote controls should automatically pair with their respective cars upon power-on. Each remote is color-coded to its car (red remote for red car, blue remote for blue car).
Driving the Cars
Use the remote control to navigate your bumper car. The cars feature omnidirectional steering, allowing for movement in all directions.
- Forward/Backward: Use the main joystick or directional pad to move the car forward or backward.
- Turning: The cars utilize rear-wheel steering. Adjust the joystick or directional pad to turn left or right while moving.
Bumper Action
The primary objective is to collide with your opponent's car. Upon a successful impact to the side of the car, the opponent's character will eject from their vehicle, accompanied by sound effects.
