LEGO 42609 Electric Car and Charger 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Friends set "Electric Car and Charger".

Ready to join Zac for a drive in his electric car? He calls his friend Nova and they meet at the solar-powered charging station. They enjoy a snack at the picnic table while they wait for the car to charge. There’s even food and drink for Zac’s dog, Dango. Once the car is charged, the friends enjoy a drive together. What a fun way to spend the day!

The box cover shows a sunny scene in Heartlake City, or to be precise, on its outskirts. The modern white convertible with a bright blue underbody and yellow and pink details is parked on a paved area next to a lush green meadow. The car is plugged into the solar power charging station. The car has two seats for the two friends Zac and Nova, plus an extra one at the back for Dango to join in on the fun. Zach, who is holding Dango's orange ball, is standing in front of the car. He is waving to Nova who is waiting for her friend on the meadow. Zac's dog Dango has already sprinted ahead of Zac to meet Nova who is waving with a stick that she wants to throw for Dango. Conveniently, the charging station is right next to a cozy little picnic table where some tasty treats await the friends: croissants, apples and more. In the background of the scene, there are trees and bushes, and on the horizon the sea is visible. There are three wind energy plants in the water! It's great to see that Heartlake City is making use of sustainable energy resources! Let's get started!

Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!

The box contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, 2 numbered bags, 2 loose pieces (1 plate 4x12 and 1 plate 8x8 with half circle) , and 1 sheet with 3 stickers. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag!

Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Zac Minidoll with Dango the dog, the Nova Minidoll, the solar charging station and the picnic area.

Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

First, we will build the Zac Minidoll.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 bright red and reddish brown Minidoll pair of legs with baggy Bermuda shorts, (Careful: Nova's pants are not as wide as Zac's baggy Bermuda shorts.)

and 1 reddish brown and white Minidoll upper body. (Careful: The upper body for Nova has the exact same shape. The only differences between the two upper bodies are their colors. Ask a sighted person to help you identify the correct piece.)

Put the upper body on top of the legs.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 reddish brown Minidoll head, (Careful: Do not confuse it with Nova's head. Ask a sighted person to help you identify the correct head.)

and 1 black afro hairpiece with sidecut.

Put the Minidoll head on the body.

Put the hair on the head.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

1 black flat tile 1x2 (this piece is printed),

1 reddish brown shaft 2m with twig leaves, (2m means that this stick is about 2 knobs long)

and 1 pale ocher yellow pug dog figurine.

Snap the flat tile 1x2 in Zac's hand. This piece is printed with the unlocked home screen of a smartphone. There are plenty of app icons on the home screen, and at the top of the screen there are icons for the state of charge, Wi-Fi connectivity and cell reception.

Dango is a little pug with dark brown ears, a dark brown snout and a cute wrinkly face. The rest of his fur is ocher yellow.

The Zac Minidoll is finished! Well done! He is wearing blue shoes with grey soles and white laces, a red pair of baggy shorts with lots of pockets, and a blue tank top with a cool front print: it's a huge splash of yellow with red signs on top, mimicking a fantasy script. Zac's dog Dango loves playing fetch, so throw him the stick if you like!

Next, we will build the Nova Minidoll.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 nougat brown and white Minidoll upper body,

and 1 sand blue and nougat brown pair of legs with long pants and turned up cuffs.

1 bright red mini apple with stalk and leaf,

and 1 purple violet flat tile 1x2. (This piece is printed.)

Snap the stalk of the apple into Nova's hand.

Snap the flat tile into Nova's other hand. This tile actually is Nova's mobile phone! She seems to be playing a game with a yellow polymorphous character in a fantasy landscape. The screen shows two arrows for swiping left and right, and you can also see her full Wi-Fi reception as well as the state of charge.

The Nova Minidoll is finished! Well done! Nova is wearing teal shoes with white soles and laces, blue capri pants and a black tank top with a white collar and white cuffs. The chest print of the shirt is the silhouette of a gaming controller in neon RGB colors (so neon pink, neon blue and neon yellow) with neon-yellow and neon-pink buttons and decorations. Her skin tone is pinkish beige, she has ash blonde hair and grey eyes.

Put the flat tile with feet on the table.

Put the square sticker 4x4 on top, matching the flat tile's shape. The sticker is printed with a navy blue frame and grid filled with teal blue solar cells. Since solar panels are a bit shiny, they will reflect light. So does this one! Two white beams of shimmering light are diagonally crossing the entire panel.

Mount the solar panel centered on the panel mount. You can fold the solar panel up and down and adjust its position according to the altitude of the sun!

Next, we will assemble the charger cable.

Put the rims into the tires.

The 4 wheels are finished! Great job! Snap the wheels on the 4 connectors of the car.

The electric car is finished! Great job! It is time to take your vehicle for a spin!

You have finished building the entire set! Very well done! Take your electric vehicle to the charging station and get it recharged! Take the charging plug off the charging station and insert it into the charging dock below the rearview mirror. While the car is charging, you can have a little rest in the picnic area or play fetch with Dango. Lots of adventures ahead!

Enjoy!
