SOFTKEY FUNCTION
The softkeys are located along the bottoms of the displays. The softkeys shown depend on the softkey level or
page being displayed. The bezel keys below the softkeys can be used to select the appropriate softkey. When a
softkey is selected, its color changes to black text on gray background and remains this way until it is disabled,
at which time it reverts to white text on black background. When a softkey function is disabled, the softkey
label is subdued (dimmed). Softkeys revert to the previous level after 45 seconds of inactivity.

gray background and automatically change to white text on black background when selected.
The PFD softkeys provide control over flight management functions, including GPS, NAV, terrain, traffic,

previous level. The ALERTS Softkey is visible at all softkey levels (label changes if messages are issued).
