Regain manual steering by pressing the STBY button 

The autopilot provides two different sets of steering parameters 
for controlling the response of the boat at different speeds or 
wind directions while in AUTO, NAV or WIND modes. 

The autopilot selects the LO (response) steering parameters 
when engaging an automatic mode from STBY provided there is 
no speed input. This is a safety feature. When entering an 
automatic mode at low speed, the steering parameters may be 
changed to HI automatically by input data from a speed log or a 
GPS navigator, or manually. 
The speed at which the autopilot automatically changes from LO 
to HI parameters (or opposite) is determined by the "Transition 
Speed" set in the Installation Setup Menu (Sea trial). See 
diagram below.
