data from the helm sensor is not input for the set time on [RETURN DELAY]*.
*: See "How to set the safe helm mode" to set [RETURN DELAY].

is available during the safe helm mode and the STBY mode. The indication "PA" appears
at top of the screen when the mode is active.
The safe helm/p.assist menu appears after the helm sensor test is successfully complet-
ed.
