INTRODUCTION TO THE TOY
This toy is a remote control car that moves in four directions (forward straight, reverse
straight, forward to the left, forward to the right).
Thanks to its simple commands, the car can be used by two year olds and upward. At
this age a child can begin to use the remote control unit by simply pressing the buttons
and watching the direction the car takes. This exercise is very important because it al
-
lows children to extend their field of vision and develops their ability to co-ordinate hand
movements. By the age of three, a child learns to associate the direction selected by using
the remote control unit with the effect produced (corresponding to the car’s movement).
At the beginning, children learn to control the car until it meets an obstacle. At a later
stage, they learn to co-ordinate precisely the correct use of the remote control unit to
achieve the desired direction.
HOW TO USE THE TOY
• Switch on the toy by positioning the ON/OFF switch lever (diag. A-1), located under
the car, on I.
• Activate the car by pressing the buttons on the remote control unit. The remote control
unit has four buttons, which correspond to the following directions: forward left (diag.
B-5), forward right (diag. B-6), forward straight (diag. B-7), reverse straight (diag. B-8).
• In the forward straight, forward right and forward left gear, the front lights switch on
(diag. D-12). Conversely, the rear lights switch on in the reverse gear (diag. D-13).
• After use the car should always be switched off by positioning the sliding switch (diag.
A-1) on O.
Fitting the remote control unit onto the car
• When the car is switched off, the remote control unit can be fitted onto the car. When
