INSTALLING THE WHEEL

Fixing the wheel in place

Place the wheel on a table or other flat surface.
Place the clamp screw (11) in the table clamp (10) and then screw the clamping unit into the hole on the underside of the wheel until firmly fixed in place. Do not turn the screw too tightly, as you risk damaging the clamping unit and/or the table.

Connecting the pedal set

Connect the pedal cable (8) to the wheel’s RJ45 connector (9).

For safety reasons, never use the pedal set with bare feet or while wearing only socks on your feet.

THRUSTMASTER® DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF INJURY RESULTING FROM USE OF THE PEDAL SET WITHOUT SHOES.

PLAYSTATION®3

INSTALLATION ON PLAYSTATION®3

Set the wheel’s USB selector (7) to the “PS3” position.
Connect the USB connector (13) to a USB port on your console.
Turn on your console.
Launch the game.
You are now ready to play!

USING THE “HOME” BUTTON (6)

Your wheel’s “Home” button allows you to exit games and access your PlayStation®3 system’s menus.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON PLAYSTATION®3

The wheel’s USB selector (7) must always be set to the “PS3” position before connecting your wheel.
In “1 Player” mode: If your official gamepad is turned on, you will have to switch it to “controller port 2” in order for your wheel to be functional.
On PlayStation®3, the wheel is only compatible with PlayStation®3 games (and will not function with PlayStation® 2 games).
In certain racing games, do not hesitate to test out your wheel’s 2 sensitivity modes in order to optimize its precision and responsiveness.

“Gran Turismo® PS3™” configuration procedure for the “Ferrari Racing Wheel: Red Legend edition” racing wheel

By default in this game, acceleration and braking are not assigned to the “R2/L2” buttons and switching gears is not assigned to the “R1/L1” buttons (which is the case for the pedals and Up/Down levers on the “Ferrari Racing Wheel: Red Legend edition” racing wheel).

Procedure to configure and optimize the wheel:

(This procedure only needs to be carried out once, as the changes will then be saved in the game)

Start up your game.
Go to the OPTION menu.
Go to the CONTROLLER SETUP menu
(by clicking the symbol representing the gamepad and the D-Pad).
Configure your controller as follows:
- Accelerate on R2
- Brake on L2
- Shift Up on R1
- Shift Down on L1
- Rear View on L3 and/or R3
- Left & Right View on D-Pad Left & Right
Click OK (in the lower right part of your screen).
Return to the main menu to access the track of your choice.

You are now ready to play!

Note: The steering wheel on your “Ferrari Racing Wheel: Red Legend edition” racing wheel features 2 sensitivity modes (normal or high). To achieve optimal precision in “Gran Turismo® PS3™”, we recommend that you enable “high sensitivity” mode.

PC

Installation on PC

Set the wheel’s USB selector (7) to the “PC” position.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON PC

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

ADJUSTING THE WHEEL’S SENSITIVITY

Your wheel’s steering has 2 sensitivity modes:

Normal sensitivity (the default mode)
High sensitivity (must be set)

Setting “High Sensitivity” mode:

Your wheel’s steering is now more sensitive.
(This procedure must be repeated each time you restart or disconnect your wheel)

Setting “Normal Sensitivity” mode (default mode):

Your wheel’s steering has now returned to normal sensitivity (the default mode)

PROGRAMMING THE WHEEL AND PEDALS

Your wheel is fully programmable:

All buttons as well as the D-Pad can be switched between themselves.
All buttons as well as the D-Pad can be programmed onto the 2 pedals.

Examples of possible applications:

On PS3: Programming L2/R2 or L3/R3 onto the 2 UP and DOWN digital levers (L1/R1).
Programming a button(s) onto one or both pedals.
Switching different buttons for greater accessibility.

Programming procedure

Your programming has now taken effect.

(You must repeat this procedure each time you restart or disconnect your wheel)

Erasing your programming

Your programming has now been erased.

CONFIGURING THE PEDALS ON PLAYSTATION®3

On PlayStation®3, your wheel’s accelerator and brake controls are in “separate” mode by default, meaning that the pedals function on independent axes:

“Accelerator” = “R2” trigger & “Brake” = “L2” trigger

For a different type of control (to limit skidding, for example), you can switch your wheel to “combined” (2 axes) mode: the pedals then function on a single axis.

“Accelerator and Brake” = Up/Down direction on “Right mini-stick”

Setting “Combined Pedals” mode

Your pedals are now combined

(You must repeat this procedure each time you restart or disconnect your wheel)

To return to “Separate Pedals” mode (the default mode)

Your pedals have now returned to the default mode: “Separate”

CONFIGURING THE PEDALS ON PC

Your wheel’s accelerator and brake controls are in “separate” (3 axes) mode by default, meaning that the pedals function on independent axes.

3 axes mode allows you to considerably improve the precision of your driving. If your game does not support 3 axes mode, your wheel’s pedals will not function properly. You will then have to exit the game and select “combined” (2 axes) mode instead.

Selecting axes via “Software”

(This setting will be saved even after you restart or disconnect your wheel)

On page 1 of the “Control Panel”: Select the mode you wish to use, then click OK.

Selecting axes via “Hardware”

(This setting will not be saved: It must be repeated each time you restart or disconnect)

(Allows you to select your mode directly in your game’s “Controls” options)

Simultaneously press and release: the 2 pedals (14) + the “Home” button (6)
