ANALOGUE PADDLE MODES

In case you are using the Podium Advanced Paddle Module (P APM; optional) you have four extra digital buttons plus two analogue axes added to the functionality of the steering wheel.

For the analogue axes you can select in which mode these operate by turning the paddle mode switch between position A – D, refer to No. 26 in chapter “button mapping”:

• Clutch bite point
  Both left and right analogue paddles work in parallel as clutch control paddles, the one pressed further becomes the primary paddle.

• Clutch + Handbrake
  Left paddle is clutch, right paddle is handbrake.

• Brake + Throttle
  Left paddle is brake, right paddle is throttle.

• Mappable analogue axes
  Paddles can be mapped as two additional axes but be aware these are shared with the joystick.

CLUTCH BITE POINT MODES

There are two ways to operate the clutch bite point feature, in either case the paddle mode switch must always be set to position A.

1.Simplified mode:

• Press both clutch paddles simultaneously to 5% or more to activate, move both paddles up to 100%.
• Release one paddle while keeping the other fully pressed. The display now 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 that by test drives before).
• As soon as the virtual start lights turn green, completely release the fully pressed paddle and the clutch is immediately at the bite point, held by the other paddle.
• Then release the other paddle with the correct speed to achieve the
  optimum launch acceleration.

2. Advanced mode:

• Pull both analogue paddles simultaneously to maximum and hold them there, display shows 100%.
• Press the FunkySwitch™ down to lower the percentage to the bite point which you want to adjust, fitting your car best (recommended to evaluate that by test drives before).
• Release the paddles to set and store the value. Note: You can have individual stored values for each Tuning Menu slot S_1 … S_5.
• At race start, pull both paddles again to activate the bite point mode, release one of these paddles and the clutch will immediately be at the bite point.
• As soon as the virtual start lights turn green, release the other paddle with the correct speed to achieve the optimum launch acceleration.
