Pressing the "AUTO HEADING" button causes VesselView to displays the "AUTO
HEADING" screen for three seconds. If the VesselView "AUTO HEADING" screen does
not appear, the "AUTO HEADING" screen needs to be activated in VesselView calibration.
Axius still engages whether the screen appears or not.
NOTE: If you press the "AUTO HEADING" button a second time, the Axius goes to standby
mode and all lights other than "STANDBY" turn off.
HEADING ADJUSTMENT AND OVERRIDE
When Auto Heading is engaged, the steering wheel is locked into a detent. Approximately
3.4ā4.5 kg (8ā10 lb.) of force are required to overcome this detent. Manually overcoming
the steering wheel's detent puts Axius into standby mode and restores control to the
steering wheel.

for each press to the port or starboard.

TO RESUME TO A HEADING
The "RESUME" button light turns on if the previous course heading is available to resume.
The previous heading can only be resumed within one minute of the Auto Heading being
disengaged or if the boat has not turned more than 90°. You can adjust these values during
configuration.
If you disengage the Auto Heading by turning the steering wheel or if you press one of the
"TURN" buttons with Auto Heading still engaged, press the "RESUME" button to resume
the previous heading.
