• You can customize your vehicle in the workshop.  Follow the green tool icon to find the workshop hangar.
• There are multiple types of customizations that you can make:
  • One-shots are one-time game modifiers that you can use to improve your performance, such as nitro bursts that give you faster speed.  However, after you use a one-shot, you no longer have it anymore.  You would need to unlock another one to use it again.
  • Add-ons are customizations that can be used forever on your vehicle, such as tires or weapons.  Once you have unlocked them, they are permanently available for your use.
• In order to modify your vehicle in the workshop, tap any icon in the circle with your finger and it will take you to the page where you can unlock it, if you have enough credits.
  • Those that are green are unlocked and your car is currently equipped with that item.

  • Those items that are orange are already unlocked, but your car is not currently equipped with that item.

  • Those that are grey are unearned.

• You can purchase more credits to unlock specific one-shot or add-on modifications. Once add-ons are purchased, they will always be available to equip your car.

After you’ve airbrushed your car, lower the turntable into the drying chamber by turning the handle on the far right counterclockwise toward the ground. Rotate the knob outside the chamber all the way to the rightmost setting to turn the fan on. Air will blow inside the drying chamber and dry off your car!

• First, ensure that the car is specifically meant for the Apptivity Hot Wheels game, and not a regular Hot Wheels car. You will be able to tell whether it is for Apptivity by looking for the contact points on the bottom of the car.
• Ensure that the contact points are extended rather than retracted. There is a button on the bottom of the car that allows you to switch between traditional Hot Wheels car play (retracted) and Apptivity mode (extended).
• Check the bottom of the car for debris, and wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
• Wipe your screen with a soft, dry cloth to ensure the best conductivity with the car.
• Make sure you are holding the car in the right location in order for it to be recognized.
  • Hold it in the center and on the sides of the car while the tires are on the screen.
  • Make sure that you are not placing the car on the black or white frame around the iPad screen. You must keep the car only within the screen area.
  • Do not wear gloves or mittens since the car needs to come in contact with your fingertips.

Push the handle on the far right counterclockwise all the way to the ground and the car platform will tip forward, allowing your car to roll out.

You should place the Apptivity Hot Wheels car on the screen in that location in order to play.

• The very first time you use Car Maker, you need to insert 2 wax sticks. Car Maker comes pre-loaded with 1 wax stick. The second stick you insert is not meant to fit completely inside the machine – it will protrude through the top. After you have made your very first car, only 1 additional wax stick needs to be inserted every time. Please note that ALL wax sticks must be inserted with the point side down.

• If you cannot insert or remove the mold, locate the tabs on both sides of Car Maker (underneath handle), push them up and try again.

There is a silver-colored speed control button on the lower left side of the screen. The image on it is a gear box.  Tap the button to move from “Stop” mode to “Slow” and “Fast” modes.

You should pull the car back so that your car stays in that location on the screen.

The tutorial only plays once, but parts of it can be viewed again by clicking on the map icon on the top left corner of your screen.

• Yes, for best results, allow the wax to cool for a few minutes before opening the mold. Twist the mold slightly (as you would an ice cube tray) to break the wax free. You can also run the mold under cold water, which will help speed up the cooling process. If the car body is wet, be sure to dry it completely before applying labels. Remove car body from the mold within 10 minutes. If the body is left in the mold for any longer, the wax may begin to crack.

Instructional videos include a review of box contents, items you'll need to get started and helpful tips about Hot Wheels Wall Tracks.

• DO NOT start injecting wax until Car Maker prompts you to “Please pull down handle.” If you start the injection before this, it can cause blockage in the mold. Blockage can be cleared using the included tool (see CLEANING section in the instruction sheet).

You need to fine tune the spray nozzle by turning the adjustment nozzle all the way to the negative side (-). Then while holding the trigger down, slowly adjust the nozzle toward the positive side (+) until you get a nice even spray. You should also make sure that the pen is fully inserted by pushing it all the way into the slot on the spray gun until you hear/feel it click.
