servo will be engaged. If only a pitch servo is installed, Button 4 will be blank and will have no

To disengage the autopilot, press Button 4 again, turning the button black, or press the
autopilot disconnect switch.
HSI+ALT will be unavailable and grayed-out if there is no valid external GPS navigation source
(with active CDI), or if the autopilot is outside of its allowable engagement speed ranges.
LEVEL (Requires optional SV-BUTTON-LEVEL)
If an SV-BUTTON-LEVEL (shown at right) is installed and properly
configured, pressing the SV-BUTTON-LEVEL will command the AP
to immediately attempt to reach zero vertical speed and a roll
angle of zero. Level mode will not attempt to fly the aircraft to any
previous altitude or track and it will not respect any bug inputs. When activated, Level Mode
will cause the autopilot to engage if it was not already engaged. For safety in emergency
situations, subsequent presses of the LEVEL button do not disengage level mode (unlike other
AP mode switches).
To disengage the autopilot, press the autopilot disconnect switch. Alternatively, change to one
of the other autopilot modes by pressing the TRK+ALT or HSI+ALT buttons.
