PLAYSTATION®3
INSTALLATION ON PLAYSTATION®3

2. Connect the USB connector (13) to a USB port on your console.
3. Turn on your console.
4. Launch the game.
You are now ready to play!
USING THE “HOME” BUTTON (6)
Your wheel’s “Home” button allows you to exit games and access your PlayStation®3 system’s menus.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON PLAYSTATION®3
- The wheel’s USB selector (7) must always be set to the “PS3” position before connecting your wheel.
- In “1 Player” mode: If your official gamepad is turned on, you will have to switch it to “controller port 2” in
order for your wheel to be functional.
- On PlayStation®3, the wheel is only compatible with PlayStation®3 games (and will not function with
PlayStation® 2 games).
- On PlayStation®3, the wheel’s vibration effects are not supported.
- In certain racing games, do not hesitate to test out your wheel’s 2 sensitivity modes in order to optimize
its precision and responsiveness.
"Gran Turismo® 5 PS3™" configuration procedure for the "FERRARI® GT EXPERIENCE" racing
wheel
By default in this game, acceleration and braking are not assigned to the "R2/L2" buttons and switching
gears is not assigned to the "R1/L1" buttons (which is the case for the pedals and Up/Down levers on the
"Ferrari® GT Experience" racing wheel).
Procedure to configure and optimize the wheel (This procedure only needs to be carried out once, as the
changes will then be saved in the game):
1) Start up your game.
2) Go to the OPTION menu.
3) Go to the CONTROLLER SETUP menu
(by clicking the symbol representing the gamepad and the D-Pad).
4) Configure your controller as follows:
• Accelerate on R2
• Brake on L2
• Shift Up on R1
• Shift Down on L1
• Rear View on L3 and/or R3
• Left & Right View on D-Pad Left & Right
5) Click OK (in the lower right part of your screen).
6) Return to the main menu to access the track of your choice.
You are now ready to play!
Note: The steering wheel on your "Ferrari® GT Experience" racing wheel features 2 sensitivity modes
(normal or high). To achieve optimal precision in "Gran Turismo® 5 PS3™", we recommend that you
enable "high sensitivity" mode.

CONFIGURING THE PEDALS ON PLAYSTATION®3
On PlayStation®3, your wheel’s accelerator and brake controls are in “separate” mode by default,
meaning that the pedals function on independent axes:
“Accelerator” = “R2” trigger & “Brake” = “L2” trigger
For a different type of control (to limit skidding, for example), you can switch your wheel to “combined” (2
axes) mode: the pedals then function on a single axis.
“Accelerator and Brake” = Up/Down direction on “Right mini-stick”
Setting “Combined Pedals” mode
Action
LED color
Simultaneously press and release:
