When operating in Roll Hold Mode, the roll reference can be adjusted in the following
ways:
• To decrease the roll reference, turn the inner knob associated with
the PFD right. The AFCS slowly decreases the bank angle. The current
bank angle is held (if the bank angle exceeds 6°). If the bank angle
is less than 6°, the AFCS will roll the aircraft wings level.
• Hold the CWS Button (if equipped), establish the desired bank angle,
then release the CWS Button.
