Autopilot
Volvo Penta Autopilot consists of a compass unit and
a 4" control panel. The autopilot continuously adjusts
the boat's steering so that it maintains a steady head-
ing. Several different steering patterns can be entered
and the autopilot also permits manual steering.
Read the instructions carefully and learn to operate the
autopilot on calm and hazard-free open water.
The operator is responsible for the safe and prudent
operation of the boat. Avoid navigational hazards and
never leave the helm unattended. Always be prepared
to promptly regain manual control of the boat.
When the ignition is switched on, the autopilot will start
and assume standby mode. The screen will show the
main menu or the last selected option from the main
menu.
When the autopilot is active, it steers the boat to main-
tain heading. However, the steering wheel may always
be used to change the heading of the boat or to avoid
obstacles. The autopilot will then assume standby
mode by default and must be manually reactivated.
If the Shadow Drive function is activated in the Set-
tings menu the autopilot will automatically be reengage
when the boat has held a steady heading for a few
seconds. When Shadow Drive is activated, an icon will
be shown in the upper right corner of the screen.
Menus and settings are controlled by the panel but-
