The autopilot will always remain in the response mode selected.

Economy

The autopilot will need to sense large environmental changes before
increasing the response setting.

Normal

The autopilot will respond to moderate environmental changes state
before increasing the response setting.

Sport

The autopilot will be most sensitive to changing conditions and will
automatically increase its response rate to counter environmental
changes.

Recovery

will react to unexpected events, for example sudden wave or wind shifts. This function allows
the autopilot to instantaneously increase the steering response to its maximum setting (Perf

The Recovery Mode will automatically switch off after 15 seconds or when the heading
error has been corrected. The autopilot will then resume the previous response setting and
continue normal operation.
