Attaching the Steering Wheel

Attention: Update drivers and firmwares for all FANATEC® products. Go to fanatec.com/downloads. A Windows PC is required to install drivers and update firmware.

Align the wheel base axle with the SQRA guide rail, then slide the steering wheel onto the wheel base axle until the limit is reached (see illustration 2A). Turn the SQRA screw nut in the closed lock direction until the indicator line is completely hidden (see illustration 2B).

Before attaching, remove the warning label (1A). Ensure the Simplified Quick Release Adapter (SQRA) indicator line is completely visible by turning the screw nut to the mechanical limit in the open lock direction.

For attachment to a Podium Wheel Base DD: Ensure the locking nut is touching the rubber gasket but not compressing it. Turn the SQRA screw nut in the open lock direction until the indicator line is completely exposed, then slide the steering wheel onto the wheel base shaft. Once the steering wheel is seated at the mechanical limit, turn the SQRA screw nut in the closed lock direction until the indicator line is completely covered.

Note: Do not compress the rubber gasket when tightening the wheel base locking nut.

Detaching the Steering Wheel

Ensure that the Simplified Quick Release Adapter (SQRA) indicator line is completely visible by turning the screw nut to the mechanical limit in the open lock direction (see illustration 1A). Next, slide the steering wheel away from the wheel base axle (see illustration 1B).

Attention: Turning the SQRA screw nut after the indicator line is completely hidden could result in damage to the SQRA. Only tighten the screw nut by hand.

Analogue Paddle Modes

The CSL Elite Steering Wheel McLaren GT3 V2 features two analogue paddles that can be used in different modes. Use the center multi-position switch (Button 14) to switch between modes:

• A Clutch bite point (for race start): Left & right paddles work in parallel. The paddle pressed becomes the primary input. Activated when both paddles are pressed to at least 5%.
• B Handbrake + Clutch: Left paddle: handbrake; Right paddle: clutch.
• C Brake + Throttle: Left paddle: brake; Right paddle: throttle.
• D Mappable analogue axes: Paddles can be mapped as two additional axes.

Clutch bite point configuration steps:

Simplified:

Press both clutch paddles simultaneously to at least 5% to activate. Move both paddles up to 100%. Release one paddle while keeping the other fully pressed. The display shows the percentage value of the released paddle while the car's clutch is still fully pressed. Set the released paddle to the percentage where your car's clutch starts to bite (recommended to evaluate by conducting multiple launch starts). As soon as the virtual start lights turn green, completely release one of the fully pressed paddles, and the clutch will immediately be at the bite point. Release the second paddle once a suitable speed is reached for the optimum launch.

Advanced:

Completely press and hold one clutch paddle. Press the FunkySwitch™ D-pad stick down. "100" will be shown on the display. Rotate the FunkySwitch in order to change the percentage of the bite point as desired to suit your car (recommended to evaluate by conducting multiple launch starts). Release the paddles to set and store the desired value. Note: You can have an individually stored value for each Tuning Menu slot S_1...S_5. At race start, press both paddles again to activate the bite point mode. Release one of the paddles, and the clutch will immediately be at the bite point. Release the second paddle once a suitable speed is reached for the optimum launch.

Centre Calibration

To perform a centre calibration, enter the Tuning Menu by pressing the Tuning Menu button. "SET..." will appear on the display. Turn the steering wheel to its centre position and press the FunkySwitch D-Pad + X button simultaneously.

Note: Centre calibration is also possible via the driver on PC. Refer to the Driver & Firmware Instruction Manual for more details.
