Simultaneously press and release: the 2 pedals + the PS button (4).

TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNING

- My wheel is not functioning correctly or seems improperly calibrated:

- Switch off your PC or your PS3, verify that the PS3/PC switch (9) is in the proper position, completely disconnect your wheel and all cables, reconnect everything and then restart your game.

- Never move the wheel or the pedals when connecting your wheel, in order to avoid any calibration problems.

• My pedal set is not functioning correctly:

- Always connect the pedal set to the wheel (10/8) before connecting the wheel's USB connector (7).

- Reconfigure your wheel in your game's controller options.

• I can't configure my wheel:

- On PS3, in your game's Options / Controller / Gamepads menu: select the most appropriate configuration.

- On PC, in your game's Options / Controller / Wheels menu: select the most appropriate configuration.

- You can also use your wheel's programming function to resolve this type of problem.

- On PC, the menus in my game are scrolling by themselves:

- Exit the game and switch the pedal set to Combined mode (2 axes). Then return to your game to reconfigure the wheel with the new axes.

• My wheel's steering is not responsive enough:
