Instructions
Please check the contents for completeness and possible transport
damage. The packaging contains important information and should
also be retained.
Important information
Please note that Exclusiv/Evolution (analog system) and Carrera
DIGITAL 124/132 (digital system) involve two separate and com-
pletely independent systems. We hereby expressly indicate that
both systems must be kept separate when setting up the track, i.e.
no connecting rail from Exclusiv/Evolution may be used together
with the connecting rail and Black Box of the Carrera DIGITAL 124/132,
even if only one of the two connecting rails (Exclusiv/Evolution con-
necting rail or Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 connecting rail and Black
Box) is attached to the current supply. Furthermore, no other Car-
rera DIGITAL 124/132 components (switches, electronic lap counter,
pit stop) may be built into an Exclusiv/Evolution course, i.e. via ana-
log operation.
Non-compliance with the above information may result in damage or
destruction of the respective Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 components.
In this case no warranty may be claimed.
Assembly instructions
Before assembling please insert the connecting clips
in the track as shown in gure Stick tracks together on a at
base. Move the connecting clips according to gure in direction
of the arrow until they audibly snap in. The connecting clip may also
be inserted later. The connecting clips can be removed into both
directions by simply pressing down the clamped nose (see g. ).
To fasten the track sections on a board, it is neces-
sary to use the track section fasteners (Item no. 85209, not con-
tained in the package).
Carpeting is not a suitable foundation on which to build the track be-
cause of static charging, formation of u and ready inammability.
Electrical connection
Connect the transformer plug with the Control Unit.
To avoid short-circuits and electrocution, the toy may not be
connected using foreign devices, plugs, cables or other objects for-
eign to this toy. The Carrera DIGITAL 132 car racetrack only works
properly with an original Carrera DIGITAL 132 transformer.
The PC interface (PC Unit) may only be operated together with the
original Carrera PC Unit.

starting light phase, this is rated as false start. The vehicle having
caused the false start will travel a short distance and the LED on
the relevant car or speed controller will ash. The race will not be
released and the start has to be repeated.
Maintenance and care
To ensure a proper operation of the motor-racing circuit, all race-
track components should be regularly cleaned. Pull the plug prior
to cleaning.
Keep the track surface and track slots clean with a
dry cloth. Do not use any solvents or chemicals for cleaning. When
it is not in use, store the racetrack in a clean and dust-protected
location, preferably in the original cardboard box.
Troubleshooting
Driving tips
In case of any malfunctions, please check the following:
• Has the connection to the power supply been established correctly?
• Have transformer and speed controllers been connected
correctly?
• Are the track connections faultless?
• Are the racetrack and track slots clean and free of any foreign
objects?
• Are the sliding contacts in order and do they make contact with
the track slot?
• Are the cars correctly coded to the according speed controller?
• The track‘s current feed will be switched o automatically for 5
seconds, if there is an electrical short circuit: this will be notied by
audible and visual signals.
• Are the cars placed on the track in running direction? In case of
non-functioning push the running direction switch which is on the
car´s bottom.
During operation small car parts as spoilers or mirrors may get o or
brake due to being original detailed parts of the car model. To avoid
this it is possible to remove them before operation.
• You can drive fast along the straight track but you should brake
before the curve and then accelerate again when coming out of the
curve.
• Do not fasten or block the vehicles when the motor is running:
overheating or damage to the motor could result otherwise.
When using track systems which are not manufactured by
Carrera the existing guide keel has to be replaced by the special
guide keel (#85309). While using the Carrera crossing (#20587) or
high banked curve 1/30° (#20574) slight driving noise might occur
which is due to the full-scale genuineness and does not aect aw-
less operation.
