2. Press enter to activate the selection.
a. Enable or disable turns the element feature on or off.
b. Minimize will hide cruise data and display CRUISE in the system tray. This allows the operator to display information
from other selected icons.
3. The set‑point adjustment selection field will be the default location at cruise start‑up. After the operator makes adjustments
to the desired settings, pressing the pages button will move the cursor to the enable/disable selection in the footer area of
the contextual data area.

b. When the selection box is outside the navigation area (set‑point field), the operator only needs to change the RPM or

4. Minimize is a feature that allows the operator to use the cruise feature while display addition data in the contextual data

• If an autopilot popup warning occurs or the operator uses the autopilot CAN track pad, autopilot contextual data
will automatically fill the contextual data area. The operator will have to minimize to hide the popup data.

6. When exit is selected while displaying cruise element and the operator presses enter, the cruise feature will be disabled.
The cruise icon will be displayed next to the system tray until another icon is selected from the scroller bar.
