6. Troubleshooting
- Vehicle not moving:
Check battery level of both the car and the remote control. The car features a safety protection system: if the battery voltage is low, the front and rear headlights will flash rapidly, and the vehicle will not move. Recharge batteries as needed. - Remote control unresponsiveness:
Ensure the remote control's battery is charged. If buttons become stuck or the remote behaves erratically, a factory reset may be required. Refer to the remote control's specific manual for reset procedures. - Poor performance:
Ensure the driving surface is clean and free of obstructions. Check for any debris caught in the wheels or chassis.
