Auto modes take over the Pilot’s job of trying to manually maintain the Heading, Depth or Altitude, Pitch and Roll.

Auto modes can be switched on and off independently and at will.

The pilot can change the set point easily and at any time to command the vehicle to a new heading, Depth or Altitude, Pitch and Roll.

However remember, Pilots should monitor the set point while operating in an auto mode to prevent it from exceeding the capabilities of the vehicle.
