(Activating the Optimus Overlay Bar, page 49).

control is automatic and could injure someone in the water.

Optimus Limp Home Mode
WARNING
In the event of a steering failure, Optimus Limp Home mode
becomes available. Limp Home mode is a system override that
may severely limit your boat's control. It should only be used in
an emergency if you are unable to call for assistance. Proceed
with extreme caution. Read the Optimus owner's manual and
always wear a personal flotation device (PFD).
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your
vessel. Use of Limp Home mode does not relieve you of the
responsibility of safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational
hazards and never leave the motor controls unattended.
When available, the Limp Home button appears on the Optimus
overlay bar. Refer to the Optimus owner's manual before using
Limp Home mode.
To engage Limp Home mode from any screen, select Info >
Warning Manager > Steering Limp Home.
