SVS is activated from the PFD using the softkeys located along the bottom edge of the display. Pressing the

softkeys turns the related function on or off. When SVS is enabled, the pitch scale increments are reduced to
10 degrees up and 7.5 degrees down.

SVS functions are displayed on three levels of softkeys. The PFD Softkey leads into the PFD function Softkeys,

including synthetic vision.  Pressing the SYN VIS Softkey displays the SVS feature softkeys. The softkeys are
labeled PATHWAY, SYN TERR, HRZN HDG, and APTSIGNS.  The BACK Softkey returns to the previous
level of softkeys. Synthetic Terrain must be active before any other SVS feature may be activated.

HRZN HDG,  APTSIGNS, and PATHWAY  Softkeys  are  only  available  when  the  SYN TERR  Softkey  is

activated (gray with black characters). After activating the SYN TERR Softkey, the HRZN HDG, APTSIGNS, 
and PATHWAY softkeys may be activated in any combination to display desired features. When system power
is cycled, the last selected state (on or off) of the SYN TERR, HRZN HDG,  APTSIGNS, and PATHWAY 
softkeys is remembered by the system.

• PATHWAY Softkey enables display of rectangular boxes that represent course guidance.

• SYN TERR Softkey enables synthetic terrain depiction.

• HRZN HDG Softkey enables horizon heading marks and digits.

• APTSIGNS Softkey enables airport signposts.
