Using the “Home” Button (6)

Your wheel's “Home” button allows you to exit games and access your PlayStation®3 system's menus.

Important Notes on PlayStation®3

• The wheel's USB selector (7) must always be set to the “PS3” position before connecting your wheel.
• In “1 Player” mode: If your official gamepad is turned on, switch it to “controller port 2” for your wheel to be functional.
• Compatibility: The wheel is only compatible with PlayStation®3 games (not PlayStation®2 games).
• Sensitivity: In certain racing games, test the wheel's 2 sensitivity modes to optimize precision and responsiveness.

"Gran Turismo® PS3™" Configuration

By default, acceleration and braking are not assigned to the "R2/L2" buttons, and gear shifting is not assigned to the "R1/L1" buttons. The pedals and Up/Down levers handle these functions.

Procedure to configure and optimize the wheel (one-time setup):

1. Start your game.
2. Go to the OPTION menu.
3. Go to the CONTROLLER SETUP menu (click the symbol representing the gamepad and D-Pad).
4. Configure your controller as follows:
   • Accelerate on R2
   • Brake on L2
   • Shift Up on R1
   • Shift Down on L1
   • Rear View on L3 and/or R3
   • Left & Right View on D-Pad Left & Right
5. Click OK.
6. Return to the main menu to access your track.

Note: For optimal precision in "Gran Turismo® PS3™", enabling "high sensitivity" mode is recommended.

Installation on PC

1. Set the wheel's USB selector (7) to the “PC” position.
2. Download drivers and force feedback software from http://support.thrustmaster.com. Navigate to Racing Wheels / Ferrari Racing Wheel Red Legend Edition, then select Drivers.
3. Connect the USB connector (13) to a computer USB port. Windows® will automatically detect the device.
4. Driver installation is automatic; follow on-screen instructions.
5. Open Game Controllers (or Gaming Options) via Start/Settings/Control Panel. The dialog box should show the wheel's name with OK status.

Important Notes on PC

• The wheel's USB selector (7) must always be set to the “PC” position before connecting.
• Your wheel and pedals self-calibrate upon USB connection. For calibration issues, download the "Thrustmaster Calibration Tool" from http://support.thrustmaster.com.

Advanced Functions

Adjusting Wheel Sensitivity

Your wheel offers 2 sensitivity modes: Normal (default) and High.

Setting "High Sensitivity" Mode

Your wheel's steering is now more sensitive. This procedure must be repeated each time you restart or disconnect your wheel.

Setting "Normal Sensitivity" Mode (Default)

Your wheel's steering has returned to normal sensitivity.

Programming Wheel and Pedals

All buttons and the D-Pad are programmable. They can be assigned to other buttons or to the pedals.

Examples of Applications:

• On PS3: Program L2/R2 or L3/R3 onto the UP/DOWN levers (L1/R1).
• Program buttons onto one or both pedals.
• Switch buttons for greater accessibility.

Programming Procedure:

Your programming has now taken effect. You must repeat this procedure each time you restart or disconnect your wheel.

Erasing Your Programming

Your programming has now been erased.

Configuring Pedals

Configuring Pedals on PlayStation®3

By default, pedals are in "Separate" mode (independent axes: Accelerator = R2, Brake = L2). For different control (e.g., limiting skidding), switch to "Combined" (2 axes) mode, where pedals function on a single axis (Accelerator/Brake = Up/Down on Right mini-stick).

Setting "Combined Pedals" Mode

Your pedals are now combined. You must repeat this procedure each time you restart or disconnect your wheel.

Returning to "Separate Pedals" Mode (Default)

Your pedals have now returned to the default mode: “Separate”.

Configuring Pedals on PC

Pedals are in "Separate" (3 axes) mode by default for independent function. This mode improves driving precision. If your game does not support 3 axes, use "Combined" (2 axes) mode.

Mode Selection:

• Selecting axes via "Software": Save setting in the "Control Panel" by selecting your desired mode and clicking OK. This setting is saved after restart/disconnect.
• Selecting axes via "Hardware": Select mode directly in your game's "Controls" options. This setting is not saved and must be repeated after restart/disconnect.
  • Action: Simultaneously press and release: the 2 pedals (14) + the “Home” button (6).

Troubleshooting and Warnings

• Wheel not functioning correctly or appears improperly calibrated: Switch off computer/console, disconnect wheel completely, reconnect, and restart game. For PC issues, download the "Thrustmaster Calibration Tool" from http://support.thrustmaster.com. Avoid moving the wheel or pedals during connection.
• Pedal set not working correctly: Reconfigure in your game's controller options. On PC, try switching pedals to "combined" (2 axes) mode and reconfigure in-game.
• Cannot configure wheel:
  • On PS3: Use game's "Options / Controller / Gamepads" menu.
  • On PC: Use game's "Options / Controller / Wheels" menu. Refer to game manual/online help. You can also use the wheel's programming function.
• Wheel not working correctly on PC or PS3: Exit game, disconnect wheel, verify "PC/PS3" USB selector (7) position, reconnect everything, and try again.
• Game menus scrolling by themselves on PC: Exit game, switch pedals to "combined" (2 axes) mode, then return to game to reconfigure the wheel.
• Wheel steering not responsive enough: Switch your wheel to high sensitivity mode.
