AUTOMATIC RACING WHEEL CALIBRATION

The wheel automatically self-calibrates when you plug the racing wheel into an electrical outlet and

connect the racing wheel’s USB connector to the Xbox One.

During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and the right, covering a 900

degree angle, before stopping at the center.

WARNING: Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase!

(This could result in improper calibration and/or personal injuries.)

MODE BUTTON AND INDICATOR LIGHT (8)

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF PEDALS

IMPORTANT:

- Never connect or disconnect the pedal set from the base of the wheel when the wheel is

connected to the console or PC, or during gaming sessions, to avoid calibration problems.

= Always connect the pedal set to the wheel before connecting the wheel to the console or PC.

- Once the wheel has self-calibrated and the game has started, the pedals automatically calibrate

themselves after being pressed a few times.

- Never press on the pedals when the wheel is self-calibrating or when your game is starting up, to

avoid calibration problems.

- If the pedals are not functioning correctly or appear to be improperly calibrated, power off your

console, completely disconnect your wheel, then reconnect all of the cables (including the power

supply cable and the pedal set cable), power the console back on and restart your game.

ATTACHING THE PEDAL SET TO A COCKPIT

- Attach the pedal set using the small screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.

- Screw two M6 screws (not included) into the cockpit’s pedal support plate and into the two small

screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.

Important: The length of the two M6 screws must not exceed the thickness of the cockpit’s pedal

support plate plus an additional 10 mm, to avoid damaging the pedal set’s internal components.

Layout diagrams for cockpits are available at http://support.thrustmaster.com: click Racing Wheels /

TMX Force Feedback, then select Manual or FAQ.

ADJUSTING THE PEDAL SET

Each of the three pedals includes:

- A metal head (8) with multiple perforations (nine for the accelerator – six for the brake – six for the

clutch).

- A plastic head support (7) (placed between the head and the arm) with four perforations.

- A pedal arm (6) with two perforations.

ATTENTION: To avoid any calibration problems, be sure to always disconnect your wheel’s

USB cable from the console or PC before making any adjustments to your pedal set.

Adjusting the HEIGHT of the accelerator pedal

- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and

its support (7) in place.

- Select your preferred height position, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal

head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Low position (default)

High position

15/20

Adjusting the SPACING of the three pedals

- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and

its support (7) in place.

- Select your preferred position (to the left, centered, or to the right), then replace and re-tighten the

screws so that the metal head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Examples illustrating the brake pedal:

Left position Centered position (default) Right position

Number of possible spacing positions per pedal:

- Three for accelerator pedal

- Three for brake pedal

- Three for clutch pedal

Adjusting the INCLINATION of the pedals

- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and

its support (7) in place.

- Turn the plastic head support (7) 180°, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal

head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Examples illustrating the accelerator pedal:

Less inclined position More inclined position (default)

Number of possible inclination positions per pedal:

- Two for accelerator pedal

- Two for brake pedal

- Two for clutch pedal

16/20

Installing the conical stop (“CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE” mod)

This modification (or “mod”) is not essential, and is not installed by default. This means that the

brake pedal functions perfectly even if the mod is not installed.

This mod lets you experience a different feeling and resistance when braking.

It’s up to you whether or not to install it, depending on your own preferences.

- Screw the conical stop (2) onto its metal support (1).

- Screw the position adjustment nut (5) onto the bottom (onto the conical stop’s screw thread).

- Position the unit at the back of the brake pedal’s arm.

17/20

- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), attach the unit using the attachment screw (3) and the

small central screw thread located on the underside of the pedal set.

The “CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE” mod is now installed!

Adjusting the brake pedal’s RANGE of travel and STRENGTH of resistance

By slightly unscrewing the nut (5), you can further strengthen the resistance of the brake pedal by

moving the conical stop (2) closer to the back of the pedal’s arm (if necessary, use a 14 mm wrench

or pliers to re-tighten the nut and maintain the selected position). The closer the conical stop is

positioned to the back of the pedal’s arm, the greater the strength of resistance will be.

Note: When the conical stop is very close to the back of the brake pedal’s arm, you may experience

difficulties in reaching the maximum calibration value. Should that be the case:

* Slowly, press very hard on the brake pedal so as to reach the maximum value (if necessary, stand

very briefly on the pedal – just for a second), then release the pressure; or else

* Move the conical stop a bit farther away from the back of the brake pedal’s arm.

Support is the only party authorized to open and/or recondition any Thrustmaster product (with the

exception of any reconditioning procedures which Technical Support may request that the

not provide, in principle, any reconditioning notification or spare parts for any Thrustmaster product
