electrical outlet and connect the racing wheel’s USB connector to the
PlayStation3 or PlayStation 4 system.
During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and
the right, covering a 1080 degree angle, before stopping at the centre.
WARNING:
Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase! (This could
result in improper calibration and/or personal injuries.)

Never connect the pedal set to the racing wheel’s base (or disconnect it
from the base) when it is connected to the system or during gameplay (this

Once the racing wheel’s calibration is complete and the game has been started,
the pedals are automatically calibrated after a few presses.

while a game is loading! (This could result in improper calibration.)
If your racing wheel and/or pedal set do not function correctly, or if they
seem to be improperly calibrated:

reconnect all cables (including the power supply cable and the pedal set), and
restart your system and your game.
