After a few seconds, the instructions change

from not touching to ‘turn the steering

wheel at a typical rate’.

When this instruction shows, turn the

steering wheel at a normal speed from left to

right and back again. Do not stop steering

until the next step pops up

After the steering, the next screen appears.

Stop steering. The Disenage Pressure is now

set at a calibrated value. When the

disengage status is green, the system is able

to autosteer.

When steering the steering wheel, the

disengage status should move to red. This

means in practice, the autosteer shuts off
