Align the connector locations using the arrows:
Base (1) connector: Arrow pointing upwards
Racing wheel (2) connector: Arrow pointing upwards
Once the connectors are correctly positioned, simply rotate the Thrustmaster Quick Release (12) device's
ring counterclockwise, while holding the racing wheel (2) in position.
Then, tighten the ring as much as you can; to do so, hold the ring in position and rotate the racing wheel
clockwise.
Once you have installed the wheel, rotate it 180° (when facing the wheel, the logo should be upside
down) to access the small attachment screw located on the Thrustmaster Quick Release (12) device. Use
a large cross-slot screwdriver to tighten the small attachment screw (do not use excessive force), turning
it clockwise.
Do not use excessive force when screwing the small attachment screw (using a cross-slot
screwdriver)!
Stop turning the screw as soon as you feel some resistance.

AUTOMATIC RACING WHEEL AND PEDAL SET CALIBRATION
The racing wheel automatically self-calibrates when you connect the racing wheel to the mains and the
racing wheel's USB connector to the console.
During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and the right, covering a 900
degree angle, before stopping at the center.
WARNING:
Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase!
(This could cause an incorrect calibration and/or personal injuries).
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF THE PEDAL SET
Never connect the pedal set to the racing wheel's base (or disconnect it from the base) when it is
connected to the console or during gameplay (this could cause incorrect calibration).
Always connect the pedal set before connecting the racing wheel to the console.
Once the racing wheel's calibration is done and the game has been launched, the pedals are
automatically calibrated after a few presses.
WARNING:
Never press the pedals
during the racing wheel's self-calibration phase or while a game is loading!
(This could cause incorrect calibration)

12/24
If your racing wheel and pedal set do not operate correctly, or if calibration seems incorrect:
Turn off your console, disconnect your racing wheel entirely, reconnect all cables (using the mains
power supply cable and pedal set), then restart your console and your game.
CONTROLLER PAIRING (13)
To ensure correct detection of your racing wheel, the device's controller pairing (located on the upper
section of the racing wheel's base) must always remain in the KINECT™ camera's field of vision.
INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
For safety reasons, the racing wheel's base features a temperature sensor.
If the device's temperature becomes too high, your racing wheel can shut down suddenly.
In this event:
- Unplug the mains power supply cable and the device's USB connector.
- Wait for the racing wheel's base to cool down entirely.
- Then, reconnect the device.
