In ALT mode, the autopilot will maintain the reference altitude shown in the
autopilot window of the PFD regardless of the altitude in the altitude preselect
window or the altimeter’s barometric pressure setting. If the altimeter setting is
changed, the autopilot will climb or descend to maintain the reference altitude.
Altitude Hold (ALT):
