Quick guide from the manual

The Thrustmaster T3PM 3 Pedals Add-On is designed for high-performance racing simulation. Before using the device, ensure it is connected to your racing wheel base before connecting the wheel to your console or PC. Never connect or disconnect the pedal set while the wheel is powered on or during gameplay to avoid calibration issues. Always wear shoes while using the pedal set for safety reasons.

Safety warnings

To prevent injury, observe the following precautions:

  • Keep the pedal set out of children's reach.
  • Never place fingers on or near the sides of the pedals during gameplay.
  • Never place fingers on or near the rear base of the pedals during gameplay.
  • Never place fingers on or near the front base of the pedals during gameplay.
  • Never use the pedal set with bare feet or while wearing only socks.

Automatic calibration

The pedals calibrate automatically after a few presses once the racing wheel's calibration is complete and the game has started. Do not press the pedals during the wheel's self-calibration phase or while a game is loading, as this can lead to improper calibration. If the pedals do not function correctly, power off your console or PC, disconnect the wheel completely, reconnect all cables, and restart your system.

Attaching the pedal set to a support or cockpit

The pedal set can be attached to compatible supports using the five M6-type threaded holes on the underside of the base. Use at least two M6 screws (not included) to secure the unit. Ensure the screw length does not exceed the thickness of your support by more than 12 mm to avoid damaging internal components.

Adjusting the pedal set

You can customize the pedals using the included 2.5 mm Allen key. Always disconnect the wheel's USB cable before making adjustments.

Adjusting the inclination of the pedals

Unscrew the two screws holding the metal head and its support. Turn the plastic head support 180 degrees, then replace and tighten the screws.

Included set of brake springs

You can adjust the brake pressure force using different configurations:

Brake spring removal method 1
