Operating Instructions

The HORI Racing Wheel for Xbox One provides a realistic driving experience with its dedicated controls.

• Steering Wheel: Use the wheel for precise steering input in racing games.
• Paddle Shifters: The wheel features paddle shifters, typically located behind the wheel, for quick gear changes (up and down). These are set to default functions.
• Analog Foot Pedals: The large base analog foot pedals provide responsive gas and brake control. These are also set to default functions.

Game Compatibility

While designed for Xbox One racing game software, certain games may require adjustment of in-game controller settings or programming of the racing wheel to function correctly. Please note that due to software-implemented limitations, racing wheel controller compatibility is not enabled on every Xbox One racing game title. Currently, known incompatibilities exist with all Need for Speed titles released on Xbox One.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the racing wheel and pedal unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
• Storage: When not in use, store the racing wheel and pedals in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or twisting the cables. Always grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting.

Troubleshooting

• Wheel Not Responding: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the racing wheel and the Xbox One console. Try a different USB port on the console.
• Pedals Not Responding: Verify that the pedal unit cable is firmly connected to the racing wheel unit.
• In-Game Performance Issues: If the wheel or pedals do not perform as expected in a game, check the in-game controller settings. Many racing games allow for calibration or sensitivity adjustments.
• Compatibility Issues: As noted in the Operating Instructions, some games may not fully support racing wheels. Confirm game compatibility if you experience persistent issues.
• Suction Cups Not Holding: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, smooth, and dry. Apply firm pressure when attaching the wheel.
