• Simultaneously press the TURBO button (8) + the button whose action you want to repeat. The MODE LED turns red. Turbo mode is now enabled.

• To disable Turbo mode, repeat this procedure. The MODE LED turns off. Turbo mode is now disabled.

TRIGGER MAPPING

All analog buttons (on PS2) or digital buttons (on PC) and mini-stick directions (axes) can be mapped to the left and right triggers (except D-Pad and START, SELECT, L3 and R3 buttons).

• MAPPING button (7) (used to map left and right triggers):

• Press and release the MAPPING button (LED flashes slowly).

• Press and release the button or direction you want to assign to the trigger (LED flashes quickly).
• Press and release the trigger assigned to this function (LED turns off).

- EEPROM:

Your gameplay includes an internal memory chip, which stores your last mapping configuration even if you turn your gameplay off.

- TRIGGER BEHAVIOR:

Triggers react differently according to whether you map 2 separate analog axes, one same analog axis or 2 separate analog/digital buttons to them. Below are 3 different examples (in this case, for racing games).

PS2 recommended

2 analog (PS2) or digital (PC) buttons are mapped to the 2 triggers.
- On PS2, this configuration is the most useful for racing games (because of the progressive analog buttons).
- You are in the same configuration as a PS2 Force Feedback racing wheel (i.e. in 3-axis mode).
- On PC, this configuration is possible but not the best (because of the digital buttons).
- This enables you to separately regulate analog (PS2) or digital (PC) control of the left and right triggers (there is no "master" trigger).

PC recommended

• 2 separate axes are mapped to the 2 triggers.
• On PC, this configuration is the most useful for lots of racing games (because of the progressive analog buttons).
• You are in the same configuration as a PC Force Feedback racing wheel (i.e. in 3-axis mode).
• This enables you to separately regulate analog control of the left and right triggers (there is no "master" trigger).

PC and PS2 alternative

One same axis is mapped to the 2 triggers.
In this case the left trigger is the "master" trigger.
If you press the left and right triggers together, your car will brake.
- This allows you to use the right trigger to control your car's speed, and briefly use the left trigger for powerful braking control.

EXAMPLES OF OTHER POSSIBLE MAPPING

The triggers provide intuitive performance in all types of games: action and FPS (progressive zoom, view, lateral movement or fire), racing (progressive gas, brake, emergency brake, manual transmission), sports (progressive pass, shoot, punch or jump...) and more.

Thus, many mapping configurations are available, according to the possibilities offered by your game. If your game does not accept your current mapping configuration, the triggers will produce strange reactions; in this case, please try defining another mapping configuration (using other axes and buttons).

For a better understanding of all the possibilities available on PC, try them out in "Game Controllers" (Thrustmaster Control Panel).
