3.4. Rotation Angle Adjustment

The Rampage FORCE V995 supports two steering rotation angles: 270 degrees and 900 degrees.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Platform Selection

The steering wheel automatically detects the connected platform (PS4, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X). Ensure your console or PC is powered on before connecting the wheel.

4.2. Button Layout and Functions

The steering wheel features a comprehensive set of buttons, including a D-pad, action buttons (X, Y, A, B), and various function buttons (MODE, PROG, etc.) similar to standard game controllers. Refer to your game's control settings for specific button assignments.

4.5. Pedal Unit

The 3-pedal unit includes an accelerator, brake, and clutch pedal. These provide precise control over acceleration, braking, and clutch engagement in racing simulations. Ensure the pedal unit is placed on a stable surface to prevent movement during use.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the steering wheel, pedals, and shifter. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Storage: When not in use, store the racing wheel set in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and not pinched or tangled to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Wheel Not Responding

• Check all cable connections (USB, power, pedals, shifter) to ensure they are secure.
• Try connecting the USB cable to a different port on your console or PC.
• Restart your console or PC.
• Ensure the power adapter is correctly plugged into a working outlet.

6.2. Force Feedback Not Working
