provided by the autopilot flight director is greater than the distance allowed
by the G500, the command bars will be displayed at the maximum distance

attitude icon until the aircraft pitch deviation is within the command display
limit.

5.6.5 Vertical Speed Control

The GDU 620 vertical speed bug may be used to control vertical speed with
certain autopilots. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual and autopilot system
documentation for instructions on how to use the vertical speed mode, if
available.
Adjust the vertical speed bug in the normal manner when using the
vertical speed mode interface. Some autopilot installations support engaging/
disengaging the vertical speed mode using the VS key on the PFD. The PFD
knob window will indicate when this function is available. The vertical speed
mode may be alternately engaged or disengaged by pressing and holding the VS
key on the PFD bezel.
