- Simultaneously press buttons L3 and R3 (located on the racing wheel’s base), then
connect (without releasing L3 and R3) the USB plug to the PC.
- The following message appears in the lower right-hand corner of your screen (do not do
anything or click on any window during the automatic installation procedure).
