PS4/5 Podium button for tuning the wheelbase

Hi guys! I just received my Podium wheelbase for PS4. I was wondering if its possible to assign some buttons on the wheel for tuning the wheelbase? So, for example, I can adjust the force feedback while driving ingame? The F1 steering wheel has a couple of nice spinning buttons to set force feedback between 0-100, so it would be very nice to use it while driving a car!
And while I'm here; What settings you guys use for GT Sports? Online I can find some setups, but most of them are 1-2 years old. I tought maybe due to all the updates, these settings are outdated right now? I hope some of you can share their settings. Thanks!

There's a specific button for this on your wheel (not the base) - a small black button to the left of the OLED display.
Check page 33 of this manual for more info: https://fanatec.com/media/pdf/3b/5c/4b/P-RW-F1-Manual-EU-AU-EN_10.pdf, and the quickstart guide for the wheel here: https://fanatec.com/media/pdf/6c/5c/0f/P-RW-F1-QG-EU-AU-EN_13.pdf
Hi Ross,
As Aiden says, there is a dedicated Tuning Button on all our wheels that allows you to access the Tuning Menu and adjust everything while you drive. On some wheels this is done with a d-pad/d-stick, in others it is a 'FunkySwitch' which is a d-stick with rotary function, which is your 'right stick' on the F1 wheel. Check 3:46 on this video:

The rotary function of this right stick makes it super easy to adjust values like the main 'FF' strength very rapidly. You can even leave the setting you want to adjust active while you're driving, so that all you need to do is rotate the stick in either direction to change the values and feel an immediate effect.
