2.10
U-turn
This feature is very useful in a man overboard situation and
whenever you want to steer back on a reciprocal heading. It only
applies to power boats.
U-Turn changes the current set course to be 180 degrees in the
opposite direction. The user must decide whether the U-Turn
should be made to Port or Starboard when bringing the boat on
the new course. U-Turn is activated by a quick press on the
TURN/DODGE button. The AP16 will continue on the set
course until you press either the PORT or STBD button to select
the direction to make the U-Turn. If you do not press PORT or
STBD within 1 minute, the AP16 will return to the AUTO mode
and stay on course.

Dodge in AUTO
Dodging is useful in situations where you need to quickly take
control of the helm to steer around an obstruction, and then
resume the previous set heading. Dodging is activated by a quick
double press on the TURN/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 AP16 is no longer in control of the steering, and
you must either manually steer the boat in STBY mode or take
control using Non Follow Up steering. On manual steering
(STBY mode) the clutch or bypass valve in the drive unit will be
disengaged. The AP16 will remain in the DODGE mode until
24
automatic selection and remain in effect until you re-enter
any automatic mode from STBY.
