Autopilot modes
The autopilot has several steering modes. The number of modes
and features within the mode depend on the autopilot computer,
the boat type and available inputs, as explained in the description of
the following steering modes.
Selecting an autopilot mode
You select Standby mode and AUTO mode by pressing the
dedicated
STBY
and
AUTO
keys.
You select other modes and automatic features by selecting the
relevant option from the Mode list, activated by pressing the
MODE
key.
Standby mode
Standby mode is used when you steer the boat at the helm.
• Switch to Standby mode by pressing the
STBY
key.

Note:
If sensor data vital for autopilot operation (e.g. rudder
response) is lost when the autopilot is running in an automatic
mode, the system will automatically switch to Standby mode.
Follow-up (FU) mode
In FU mode you turn the rotary knob to set the rudder angle. The
rudder will move to the commanded angle and then stop.
• Switch to FU mode from any mode by selecting the Follow-up
option in the Mode list, or switch directly from Standy mode to
FU mode by pressing the rotary knob.
AUTO mode (Heading hold)
In AUTO mode the autopilot issues rudder commands required to
steer the vessel automatically on a set heading. In this mode the
autopilot does not compensate for any drifting caused by current
and/or wind (
