How to update the wheel firmware?

Go to support.thrustmaster.com, click on Wheels / T248 then Firmware. Follow the instructions to download and install the update.

Is the wheel compatible with Xbox Series X|S?

Yes, the Thrustmaster T248X is compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Make sure the games are updated for optimal performance.

How to adjust the force feedback strength?

Press the MODE button, navigate to the FORCE option. You can adjust the overall force from 20 to 100%. The menu also offers 3 FFB profiles (FFB 1 linear, FFB 2/3 boosted).

The T-RDD display does not work on Xbox, why?

The T-RDD (telemetry display) is currently only compatible on PC. It is not supported on Xbox consoles. Check the list of compatible PC games on the Thrustmaster website.

How to change the brake pedal spring?

Unplug the wheel. Use the supplied 2.5 mm Allen key to disassemble the pedal. Replace the spring with one of the 4 kits (soft, medium, hard, extra-hard). Follow the diagram in the manual or the video on the Thrustmaster website.

Can I mount the wheel on a cockpit?

Yes, use two M6 screws (not supplied) into the threaded holes under the base. The screw length must not exceed the support thickness + 12 mm. A mounting template is available on the Thrustmaster support site.

What to do if the wheel no longer responds or is incorrectly calibrated?

Turn off the console/PC, disconnect all cables, reconnect the pedal set first, then the power supply, the USB cable, and turn on again. If the problem persists, reset the wheel via the MODE menu (RESET option).

How to use the E1 to E4 encoders?

ATTACHING THE RACING WHEEL

Attaching the racing wheel to a table or a desktop

Start by connecting on the underside of the wheel:

• the power adapter (21);
• the quick release USB-C cable (17a) to the USB-C connector (22);
• the T3PM pedal set (24).

Make sure to follow the paths for the different cables, and attach the cables using the hook-and-loop fastener cable holder (20).

1. Place the racing wheel on a table or any other horizontal, flat and stable surface.
2. Insert the fastening screw (14) in the attachment system (13), then tighten the device by turning the screw counterclockwise, so that it feeds into the large threaded hole (18) located beneath the racing wheel, until the wheel is perfectly stable.

WARNING: Never tighten the screw alone without the attachment system in place! This could damage the racing wheel.

ATTACHMENT / REMOVAL	DIRECTION
To tighten:Turn the screw counterclockwise
To release:Turn the screw clockwise

Attaching the racing wheel to a racing cockpit (not included)

1. Place the base of the racing wheel on the cockpit's shelf.
2. Screw two M6 screws (not included) into the cockpit's shelf and into the two threaded holes on the underside of the racing wheel (19).

Important

The length of the two M6 screws must not exceed the thickness of the shelf by more than 0.47 inches/12 mm; longer screws could cause damage to internal components located in the racing wheel's base.

1. If necessary, you can also screw the standard attachment system (13, 14) into the large threaded hole (18).

INSTALLATION

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 Xbox console or to the PC.

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 result in improper calibration and/or personal injuries.

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 console or PC and completely disconnect the racing wheel. Then reconnect all cables (including the power supply cable and the pedal set), and restart your console (or PC) and your game.

INSTALLATION ON XBOX CONSOLES

1. Connect the T3PM pedal set to the RJ12 connector (24) of the base.
2. Plug the power cable and power adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. Connect the USB-C cable (17) to the USB-C port (22) of the base.
4. Connect the USB-C/USB-A cable (16) to the USB-C cable (17) and to a USB-A port on the Xbox console. Once the console is powered on, your racing wheel will self-calibrate automatically.

You are now ready to play!

Please note:

- The list of games compatible with the Xbox console and the T248 racing wheel is available here: https://support.thrustmaster.com (in the Racing Wheels / T248 / Games Settings section). This list is updated regularly.

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF THE PEDAL SET

IMPORTANT

• Never connect the pedal set to the racing wheel's base (or disconnect it from the base) when it is connected to the Xbox console, or during gameplay (this could result in improper calibration).
• Always connect the pedal set before connecting the racing wheel to the console or to the PC.
• Once the racing wheel's calibration is complete and the game has been started, the pedals are automatically calibrated after a few presses.
• 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 console and completely disconnect the racing wheel. Then reconnect all cables (including the power supply cable and the pedal set), and restart your console and your game.

ATTACHING THE PEDAL SET TO A SUPPORT OR COCKPIT

The pedal set can be attached to a variety of different compatible supports (sold separately) using the five M6-type threaded holes located underneath the base. To do so, screw at least two M6 screws (not included) through the support shelf, and into the threaded holes on the underside of the pedal set's base.

Important: the length of the M6 screws must not exceed the thickness of your support by more than 0.47 inches/12 mm, so as not to risk damaging the pedal set's internal components.

The pedal set's setup diagrams for cockpits and other supports are available at https://support.thrustmaster.com: click Racing Wheels / T3PM, and then Template - Cockpit setup.

ADJUSTING THE PEDAL SET

Each of the three pedals includes:

• A pedal arm (10) with two perforations.
• A plastic head support (11) (placed between the head and the arm) with four perforations.
• A metal head (12) with multiple perforations (nine for the accelerator – six for the brake – six for the clutch).

ATTENTION: To avoid any calibration problems, be sure to always disconnect your wheel's USB cable from the console or PC before making any adjustments to your pedal set.

Adjusting the HEIGHT of the gas pedal

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (3), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (12) and its support (11) in place.
• Select your preferred height position, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal head (12) and its support (11) are held firmly in place.

Low position

High position (default)

Adjusting the SPACING of the three pedals

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (3), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (12) and its support (11) in place.
• Select your preferred position (to the left, centered, or to the right), then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal head (12) and its support (11) are held firmly in place.

Examples illustrating the brake pedal:

Number of possible spacing positions per pedal:

• Three for gas pedal
• Three for brake pedal
• Three for clutch pedal

Adjusting the INCLINATION of the pedals

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (3), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (12) and its support (11) in place.
