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 One.
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.)
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 result in improper calibration).
Always connect the pedal set before connecting the racing wheel to the console.
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.
MODE BUTTON AND INDICATOR LIGHT (8)

CONSUMER WARRANTY INFORMATION
Worldwide, Guillemot Corporation S.A., whose registered office is located at Place du Granier, B.P. 97143, 35571 Chantepie, France (hereinafter “Guillemot”) warrants to the consumer that this Thrustmaster product shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship, for a warranty period which corresponds to the time limit to bring an action for conformity with respect to this product. In the countries of the European Union, this corresponds to a period of two (2) years from delivery of the Thrustmaster product. In other countries, the warranty period corresponds to the time limit to bring an action for conformity with respect to the Thrustmaster product according to applicable laws of the country in which the consumer was domiciled on the date of purchase of the Thrustmaster product (if no such action exists in the corresponding country, then the warranty period shall be one (1) year from the original date of purchase of the Thrustmaster product).
Notwithstanding the above, rechargeable batteries are covered by a warranty period of six (6) months from the date of original purchase.
Should the product appear to be defective during the warranty period, immediately contact Technical Support, who will indicate the procedure to follow. If the defect is confirmed, the product must be returned to its place of purchase (or any other location indicated by Technical Support).
Within the context of this warranty, the consumer's defective product shall, at Technical Support's option, be either replaced or returned to working order. If, during the warranty period, the Thrustmaster product is subject to such reconditioning, any period of at least seven (7) days during which the product is out of use shall be added to the remaining warranty period (this period runs from the date of the consumer's request for intervention or from the date on which the product in question is made available for reconditioning, if the date on which the product is made available for reconditioning is subsequent to the date of the request for intervention). If permitted under applicable law, the full liability of Guillemot and its subsidiaries (including for consequential damages) is limited to the return to working order or the replacement of the Thrustmaster product. If permitted under applicable law, Guillemot disclaims all warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
This warranty shall not apply: (1) if the product has been modified, opened, altered, or has suffered damage as a result of inappropriate or abusive use, negligence, an accident, normal wear, or any other cause unrelated to a material or manufacturing defect (including, but not limited to, combining the Thrustmaster product with any unsuitable element, including in particular power supplies, rechargeable batteries, chargers, or any other elements not supplied by Guillemot for this product); (2) if the product has been used for any use other than home use, including for professional or commercial purposes (game rooms, training, competitions, for example); (3) in the event of failure to comply with the instructions provided by Technical Support; (4) to software, said software being subject to a specific warranty; (5) to consumables (elements to be replaced over the product's lifespan: disposable batteries, audio headset or headphone ear pads, for example); (6) to accessories (cables, cases, pouches, bags, wrist-straps, for example); (7) if the product was sold at public auction.
This warranty is nontransferable.
The consumer's legal rights with respect to laws applicable to the sale of consumer goods in his or her country are not affected by this warranty.
Additional warranty provisions
During the warranty period, Guillemot shall not provide, in principle, any spare parts, as Technical Support is the only party authorized to open and/or recondition any Thrustmaster product (with the exception of any reconditioning procedures which Technical Support may request that the consumer carry out, by way of written instructions – for example, due to the simplicity and the lack of confidentiality of the reconditioning process – and by providing the consumer with the required spare part(s), where applicable).
Given its innovation cycles and in order to protect its know-how and trade secrets, Guillemot shall not provide, in principle, any reconditioning notification or spare parts for any Thrustmaster product whose warranty period has expired.
In the United States of America and in Canada, this warranty is limited to the product's internal mechanism and external housing. In no event shall Guillemot or its affiliates be held liable to any third party for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from the breach of any express or implied warranties. Some States/Provinces do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State or Province to Province.
Liability
If permitted under applicable law, Guillemot Corporation S.A. (hereinafter “Guillemot”) and its subsidiaries disclaim all liability for any damages caused by one or more of the following: (1) the product has been modified, opened or altered; (2) failure to comply with assembly instructions; (3) inappropriate or abusive use, negligence, an accident (an impact, for example); (4) normal wear; (5) the use of the product for any use other than home use, including for professional or commercial purposes (game rooms, training, competitions, for example). If permitted under applicable law, Guillemot and its subsidiaries disclaim all liability for any damages unrelated to a material or manufacturing defect with respect to the product (including, but not limited to, any damages caused directly or indirectly by any software, or by combining the Thrustmaster product with any unsuitable element, including in particular power supplies, rechargeable batteries, chargers, or any other elements not supplied by Guillemot for this product).

PC MAPPING
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 One.
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.)
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 result in improper calibration).
Always connect the pedal set before connecting the racing wheel to the console.
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.

When using this pedal set, make sure that the indicator light remains red, or else the gas pedal will not function properly.

The racing wheel's internal memory stores whether the pedals have been swapped around or not.
