5. Operating Instructions

Once connected, your PXN V3II Racing Wheel is ready for use. Familiarize yourself with the controls and adjust settings for optimal performance.

Basic Operation:

  • Steering: Rotate the wheel left or right within its 180-degree range.
  • Acceleration: Press the right pedal (gas) to accelerate.
  • Braking: Press the left pedal (brake) to decelerate or stop.
  • Shifting: Use the integrated sequential shifter or the paddle shifters behind the wheel for gear changes.
  • Buttons: Utilize the various function buttons on the wheel for in-game actions, menu navigation, and other controls as mapped by your game.

Adjusting Sensitivity:

The PXN V3II features three adjustable sensitivity levels. Refer to your game's control settings or the wheel's specific programming instructions (if available) to switch between these levels. Higher sensitivity typically means less physical wheel movement is needed for a larger in-game turn.

6. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your racing wheel.

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the steering wheel and pedals. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the internal components.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the racing wheel and pedals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Cable Care: Avoid bending or kinking the USB cable excessively. Always grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting.
  • Avoid Impact: Do not drop or subject the device to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.
