This toy is a remote-controlled car that moves in different directions: straight forward, straight reverse, left forward and right forward, left reverse and right reverse. The simplicity and user-friendliness of this driving system makes the toy suitable for use by children aged 2 years and over. At this age, children start to use the remote control simply pressing the forward and reverse buttons and watching the car move. This is an extremely important exercise because it helps broaden the field of vision and improve the coordination skill of the hand's movements. In addition, the possibility of driving the car simply by turning the remote control as if it were a real steering wheel makes playing with the toy more intuitive and fun.

Starting from 3 years of age, children learn to associate the direction on the remote control with the effect it produces (corresponding to the car's movement): they first start to drive the car until it reaches an obstacle; then they start to learn to precisely coordinate the action on the remote control with the desired route.

HOW TO USE THE TOY

1. Turn the car on by moving the on/off lever switch (fig. A-1) placed under the car to position I.
2. Switch the remote control on by pushing the ON/OFF lever switch under the car (fig. C-7) to I.
3. Operate the car pressing the remote control buttons: forward (fig. B-4), reverse (fig. B-6).
4. To turn the car right or left just "steer" the remote control left or right.
5. Pressing the button at the centre of the remote control (fig. B-5) blows the horn.
6. When you have finished playing, always switch off the car (fig. A-1) and remote control (fig. C-7), by switching to O on both.

Adjusting driving alignment

If the car does not drive straight when you press the straight forward button (fig. B-4), you can fix the direction by shifting the selector (fig. A-3) under the car one notch at a time.

FITTING AND/OR REPLACING BATTERIES

• Non-rechargeable batteries must only be replaced by an adult.
• To replace the non-rechargeable batteries: loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover (fig. A-2 for the car and fig. C-8 for the remote control) with a screwdriver and open the cover. Then remove the dead batteries and fit new ones, ensuring that they have been fitted with correct polarity (as shown on the product), close the battery cover, and tighten the screw.
