The AP TRIM switch is located on the left control stick.
This composite switch is split into left and right sides. The left switch is

the autopilot and to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect alert and mute the
associated aural tone.
Manual trim commands are generated only when both sides of the switch are
operated simultaneously. If either side of the switch is active separately for
more than three seconds, MET function is disabled and 'PTRM' is displayed
as the AFCS Status Annunciation on the PFD. The function remains disabled
until both sides of the switch are inactivated.
