1. EXIT MANUAL MODE:
You can exit MANUAL MODE by pressing any of the four (4) AUTOMATIC SETTING BUTTONS. As soon as
you press one of the AUTOMATIC SETTING BUTTONS, the Auto Glide will begin automatically controlling
the position of the boat based on its CURRENT ROLL AND PITCH POSITIONS and the Auto Glide’s HOME
ROLL AND PITCH POSITIONS for that AUTOMATIC SETTING.
NOTE:
If you turn off your motor(s) while the Auto Glide is in MANUAL MODE, the trim tabs will not automatically retract.
However, they will retract the next time you start your motor(s) to ensure the trim tabs are fully retracted.
B. LIMP HOME MODE:
LIMP HOME MODE is a SAFETY DEFAULT MODE that occurs when the Auto Glide either loses necessary data
it needs to perform automatic boat control decisions or there is a product failure. These possible situations are
described in section V (page 33) of this manual. The Auto Glide is constantly monitoring DATA and as soon as it
senses a problem, the Auto Glide stops all automatic decisions and defaults to LIMP HOME MODE.
NOTE:
Whenever pertinent information is lost or a trim tab actuator fails, the Auto Glide will flash a sequence of SYSTEM
FAILURE WARNING MESSAGES. These messages will be described in more detail on pages 33-38.
Although LIMP HOME MODE is very similar to MANUAL MODE in that it gives the operator manual control of the
trim tabs, the only buttons on the key pad that function in LIMP HOME MODE are the UP/DN Buttons. You
cannot exit LIMP HOME MODE by pressing an AUTOMATIC SETTING BUTTON on the key pad. You can only
exit out of LIMP HOME MODE if the lost DATA returns or you turn the motor(s) OFF and ON again.
