Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Steering wheel not recognized by console/PC. | Incorrect connection, driver issue, or console controller not authenticated. | Ensure all cables are securely connected. For consoles, connect the official controller to the steering wheel's USB port (if applicable) and ensure it's powered off before connecting. Try a different USB port. Update drivers on PC. |

| Suction cups not holding firmly. | Surface is not clean or smooth, or suction cups are dirty. | Clean the surface and the suction cups thoroughly. Ensure the surface is smooth and non-porous. Apply slight pressure when attaching. |
