Carrera 50052007 Short Range Device Remote Control Toy Transceiver
Introduction
Carrera HYBRID is a racing simulation game in which the driving characteristics ot a real racing car are transferred to the model. Drive exciting races against your friends just like in real life! Use the free app to steer the racer around the track with your smartphone or tablet. Your racer always knows where it is on the track. The car scans the track optically, and the current speed and every movement are measured by the vehicle’s built-in sensors. Using Al’s algorithms together with your settings for tyre condition, brakes, etc., you can secure decisive time advantages in the competition with your friends – or fly out of the bend if you are too fast. Just like in a real race, you need a feel for the accelerator, brakes, steering, tyre grip and speed, but also a good dose of will to win, even in tough races. The AI helps you to stay on the track, but as the level of difficulty increases, it is reduced and you have to intervene more and more actively in the action. These operating instructions give you an overview of how to set up your racer and the basic functions, as well as tips on troubleshooting and prevention. For further details, the carrera HYBRID app provides detailed information with corresponding help menus. Please read the instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

Unpacking
Charging the racer
- With the enclosed USB-C / USB-A charging cable, the the vehicle-installed lithium polymer battery can be charged with commercially available charging power supplies, e.g., from a smartphone.
- Showing charge status using the headlights and taillights:
- Taillights flashing = battery flat
- Taillights pulsating = charging process in progress
- Taillights flashing = racer charged to 80%, charging process still running
- Headlights flashing = charging process completed
Set up the track
- Set up track variations as shown on the packaging.
- Make sure that the track elements are always connected in the direction of travel (arrows on the red or blue edge strips). The track elements should be assembled at a 135° angle to each other. The vehicles can only scan and recognise the track in the direction of the arrows.
Switching on the racer
Switch on the racer by pulling it back 15-20 cm so that the lights start to light up/flash. (Racer switches off automatically if there is no connection for 3 minutes or as soon as a charging cable is plugged in/charged).
Start-up

- Select the “COLLECTION” module on the home screen.
- Select the “CARS” column on the screen.

- Select the “DRIVE” menu.
- Go to “CREATE RACE” on the right-hand side. Please note: A prerequisite for a joint race is that all devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi. An internet connection is not required.
- If several races are taking place at the same time in your Wi-Fi network, you can give your race a name and password for your future teammates. If only one race is taking place in your Wi-Fi network, you do not need to assign a name and password.
- After clicking on the arrow on the right-hand side of the screen, you can decide which “GAMEMODE” you want to play and how long or how many laps you want to race.
- Select the last point on the page:
- If “YES” is selected, the personal race settings, such as “DRIVE MODE”, “DRIVE ASSIST”, and “TIREWEAR”, are the same for all other players (a “SETTINGS” button appears underneath to define these settings).
- If “NO” is selected, the personal driving characteristics of the respective driver are selected.
- On the next page, you can select one of the saved track layouts or click on the “+” in the top right-hand corner to go to the track editor. There, you can plan your track virtually. To do this, click on the symbols shown below to add the appropriate track modules. Save the completed track in the top right-hand corner and assign a track name. Now select your track.

- Now your fellow players who are in the same Wi-Fi network can join your lobby via the menu item “JOIN RACE” on their devices.
- Now you can change the starting order and the car/race properties.
- Make sure that all racers are switched on and illuminated.
- Once all players have made their settings and confirmed this with “DONE”, you can start by tapping on “START”.
- You can now let the cars do an autonomous warm-up lap; the cars will then drive autonomously to the starting position. Or you skip this procedure and place the cars directly at the start line with some distance between them.
- For the warm-up lap, all players place their racers on one of the next modules AFTER the start/finish line, with some distance between the racers.
- Now all players accelerate, if possible, one after the other, and without steering. The racers now recognise and scan the track autonomously and then drive themselves to their starting position. You can steer during this phase to warm up the tyres and maintain the distance to the car in front by accelerating and braking. The scan drive is only aborted if the vehicle leaves the track or if the brake and the function field in the centre are activated simultaneously.
- As soon as all racers are on the starting grid and all players have confirmed with “DONE”, the start light appears.
- For a perfect start, press on the function field in the center of your screen, and then press the accelerator to activate the launch control. As soon as the race lights turn green, release the function field and leave your opponents behind you.
- While driving, you can activate the boost by pressing the accelerator and the function field at the same time.
- You steer the vehicle by turning the smartphone or tablet.
