Simrad AP21 and AP22 Autopilots

2.13 Dodging
Dodging is useful in situations where you need to quickly take
control of the helm to steer around an obstruction, and then wish
to return to the previous set heading after performing the evasive
manoeuvre. Dodging is activated by a quick press on the
DODGE button.
When in DODGE mode the displayed set course is the last one
set prior to activating the dodge function. When DODGE is
displayed, the autopilot is in STBY mode and is no longer in
control of the steering. You must either manually steer the boat
by the helm or take control using Non Follow Up or Follow Up
steering. The autopilot will remain in DODGE mode until you
exit DODGE by a second press on the TURN/DODGE button or
select another mode.
