The system operates in three modes for cruising: MANUAL, POWER
STEERING and AUTOPILOT. Switching from one mode to another is a
simple operation.
Manual control of steering always overrides the autopilot.
This is a safety feature and it simplifies steering control. Taking manual
control when the autopilot is on will not damage the system. Turning the
wheel to avoid an unexpected obstacle is a natural reaction. When the
steering wheel is released from manual control, the autopilot will return to
the heading it was steering without any additional intervention.
NOTICES
At high speed, the use of the autopilot is dangerous and not
recommended. Anyway, be always very careful during navigation also
when the autopilot is in use.
