The packaging is almost 100% plastic-free.
Connect the vehicle to the charger with the USB cable and disconnect it again after about 2 seconds. This resets the vehicle and it can be switched on again normally.
Due to sunlight/daylight falling from the side, it is possible that the light on the road under the vehicle could be reflected and thus affect the vehicle's infrared sensor.
The best way to store the track elements is in the original box. To avoid scratches on the track surface, always lay track surface to track surface if possible.
As a rule, it is sufficient to slide the vehicle diagonally over a textile surface such as denim.
The best way to clean them is with a damp cloth and a small drop of detergent. IMPORTANT: Before every ride, the road surface should be cleaned of dust so that as little dust and lint as possible can adhere to the tires.

This is requested by the system from Google and Apple when Bluetooth is used in the app. However, the locations are not read out or evaluated by Carrera.

By completing tasks in the app, you can collect points that allow you to advance to the next rank. Each higher rank unlocks new tuning options such as gearbox/brakes/tyres/ ...
Just like in reality, every acceleration, braking and steering has an effect on the condition of the tires. The tires wear out particularly badly if you drive too fast in bends and the AI has to intervene with an emergency stop. This must be avoided.
This is planned for one of the following app updates, but the following "hack" is already possible in principle: Set Ghost Car to driving assistance STRONG, place it on the track and accelerate to the desired speed. Then put the app in the background/minimize it. The racer now continues to drive autonomously on the track. As soon as it leaves the track, e.g. because it has been forced off, it stops immediately.
