Rules for Safe Riding
READ THESE RULES ALOUD TO YOUR CHILD AND THEIR PLAYMATES AND MAKE SURE
THEY UNDERSTAND THEM!
Always drive the Corvette with an adult watching.
Riders must be 3 years of age or older.
Always sit in the seat.
Always wear shoes.
Only one or two riders in the Corvette. If more children ride on the hood or the
trunk, they may fall off, block the driver’s view or cause the Corvette to tip over.
Serious injury could occur! Also, the Corvette may be overloaded, which could
damage the motor or gears (weight maximum of 130 lbs. [59 kg]).
Do not drive near full-sized, motorized vehicles.
It is dangerous to drive the
Corvette on driveways, streets or alleys that are used by full-sized motorized
vehicles. The Corvette is small and may be out of sight to the driver of a
full-sized car.
DRIVE ONLY ON LEVEL GROUND!
The Corvette will operate best on concrete or other
firm surfaces.
Never drive near water! Do not drive toward a swimming pool, creeks or a pond!
Drowning could occur.
Do not drive down a steep slope.
The Corvette may go too fast, causing it to tip
over or slip.
Do not drive up a steep slope.
The motor may stop and the Corvette could roll
backward and go too fast, causing it to tip over.
Do not drive near drop-offs, such as steps or decks.
The Corvette could tip over.
Keep hands, hair and clothes away from moving parts, such as the wheels or the
motor. Serious injury could occur.
Do not drive near flammable vapors, such as gasoline, paint thinner or liquid
wax that are usually stored in the garage. The Corvette’s electric switch will spark
when first turned on or when turned off and could cause an explosion or fire! Keep
flammable products tightly sealed and stored away from the Corvette.
Do not drive the Corvette in rainy or snowy weather. Water will damage the
motor, electric system and battery. Poor traction may cause the Corvette to slip or
the wheels to spin, which could cause the power to shut down (see thermal fuse
information in Battery Maintenance, page 19).
Do not drive the Corvette in loose dirt, mud, sand or fine gravel, which can
damage moving parts, motors or the electric system.
Poor traction could cause
the Corvette to slip or the wheels to spin, which could cause the power to shut down
(see thermal fuse information in Battery Maintenance, page 19).
Do not play the radio too loudly, because it may distract the driver.
Only experienced drivers may use “High” speed (8 km/h [5 mph]). The Corvette
might go too fast for beginners.
