3. Mount the steering wheel on the desk and then tighten the fixing rod to secure it.

Connecting to Consoles and PC

Important Note: When connecting to Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PS4 consoles, the official original controller is required and must be turned OFF before connecting. Ensure the data cable used for the controller has data transmission functionality.

2. Plug the USB of the Racing wheel into the PS4 USB interface.
3. Press the "HOME" Button on the Racing wheel. When the racing wheel can control the console interface, it means it's successfully connected.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PXN-V3II Racing Wheel, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the steering wheel and pedals with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

• Suction Cups/Clamp: Periodically check the suction cups and C-clamp for wear and tear. Ensure they are clean for maximum grip.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your PXN-V3II Racing Wheel, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Wheel Not Responding on PS4/Xbox:
  • Ensure the original console controller (PS4/Xbox One/Series X|S) is used for connection and is powered OFF before connecting to the wheel.
  • Verify that the USB data cable connecting the original controller to the wheel's USB port has data transmission functionality. Some cables are charge-only.
  • Confirm the controller is completely off before plugging it into the wheel.
  • If it's not the original controller, it will not connect successfully.
• Pedals Not Working / Intermittent Function:
  • Ensure the pedal cord is inserted correctly and fully into the "Port Of Pedal" on the wheel base. Some users have found success by ensuring the plug is inserted horizontally.
  • Check for any physical obstructions or damage to the pedal unit or cable.
• Wheel Sliding on Desk:
  • Ensure the seven suction cups on the bottom of the wheel base are clean and firmly pressed onto a smooth, non-porous surface.
  • Utilize the C-shaped fixing bracket to clamp the wheel securely to your desk. Tighten the fixing rod firmly.
• Button Configuration Issues (e.g., Gas/Brake mapped incorrectly):
  • For PC, ensure the correct input mode (X-input or D-input) is selected by long-pressing the "HOME" button.
  • For consoles, check the game's internal settings or the console's accessibility/button configuration options. Some games or consoles allow remapping of controls. Restarting the console after changes may help.
• Not Compatible with PS5: Please note that this product is not compatible with PS5 consoles.
