INSTALLING THE WHEEL ON ITS BASE
Align the connector positions 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 (15)device’s
ring anticlockwise, 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 GT logo should be upside
down) to access the small attachment screw located on the ring of the Thrustmaster Quick Release (15)
device. Use a large Phillips screwdriver to tighten the small attachment screw (do not use excessive
force), turning it clockwise.
When using a Philips screwdriver, ensure NOT to use excessive force
when tightening the small attachment screw!
Stop turning the screw as soon as you feel some resistance.

the cockpit shelf and into the 2 small screw threads located on the underside of the wheel.

9/24
ATTENTION:
- Do not remove the foam pads located on the underside of the racing wheel’s base! The foam
pads amplify the effects of the T-DFB system when the wheel is attached.
- The textured rubber side of the mounting discs (26) must imperatively be positioned facing
the cockpit shelf = never position the metal side facing the cockpit shelf.
Attaching the racing wheel to a table or a desktop
1. Place the racing wheel on a table or any other horizontal, flat and stable surface.

the screw anticlockwise, so that it feeds into the large threaded hole (12)located beneath the
racing wheel, until the wheel is perfectly stable.
ALWAYS NEVER
WARNING:
- Never tighten the screw alone, without the attachment system in place (this could damage
the racing wheel).
- Do not remove the foam pads located on the underside of the racing wheel’s base! The foam
pads amplify the effects of the T-DFB system when the wheel is attached.

AUTOMATIC RACING WHEEL AND PEDAL SET CALIBRATION
The wheel automatically self-calibrates when you plug the racing wheel into an electrical outlet and
connect the racing wheel’s USB connector to the system.
During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and the right, covering a 1080
degree angle, before stopping at the center.
WARNING:
Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase!
(This could result in improper 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 system or during gameplay (this could result in improper calibration).
Always connect the pedal set before connecting the racing wheel to the system.
Once the racing wheel’s calibration is complete and the game has been started, 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 result in improper calibration.)
If your racing wheel and/or pedal set do not function correctly, or if they seem to be improperly
calibrated:
Power off your system and completely disconnect the racing wheel. Then reconnect all cables (including
the power supply cable and the pedal set), and restart your system and your game.
INTERNAL COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE WHEEL’S BASE
The internal cooling system for the wheel’s base
- starts working when the wheel is powered on.
- switches off after a few minutes of inactivity when the internal temperature cools down to a low level.
- switches on again when you use the wheel.
