Cleaning

Using a soft, non-abrasive cloth lightly moistened with water only, clean your vehicle. Allow it to completely dry before proceeding.

Custom Art

1. Decorate your vehicle with the included reusable stickers. For best application, avoid touching the back of the sticker with your fingers. Press firmly down and repeatedly smooth out the sticker with your finger. If a sticker does not adhere well, repeat this step after ensuring the surface is clean and dry.
2. Doodle on the body of the vehicle using the included wipeable color markers.
3. Store the wipeable color markers in the slots on the back of the vehicle with the caps facing outward to create decorative multicolor tailpipes.

How to Play

Power and Pairing

1. Ensure both the remote control and vehicle are powered off.
2. Press the power button on the remote control to power it on. The status light will glow white, fading on and off, indicating the remote control is in pairing mode.
3. Flip the switch on the bottom of the vehicle to the 'on' position to power on the vehicle. The vehicle will automatically begin pairing with the remote control.
4. Wait for the status light on the remote control to stop fading on and off; it will stay solidly lit when pairing is successful.
5. If pairing is unsuccessful within 60 seconds, power off both the remote control and vehicle, then repeat steps 2 through 4.
6. Begin driving.
7. If pairing is interrupted or the vehicle goes out of range, both the remote control and vehicle will enter pairing mode and attempt to reconnect. Move the remote control and vehicle closer together. If pairing is unsuccessful within 60 seconds, power off both the remote control and vehicle, then repeat steps 2 through 4.
8. When finished driving, press the power button on the remote control to power it off, and flip the switch on the bottom of the vehicle to the 'off' position to power off the vehicle.

Note: To conserve battery life, the remote control and vehicle automatically enter sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. To wake them from sleep mode, power them off and then power them back on.
