Wind function
With Wind function set to auto, the autopilot will automatically
select between apparent and true wind steering. Auto is default and
recommended for cruising. When the boat is running, it will also be
surfing on the waves.
This may lead to significant changes in boat speed, hence changes
in apparent wind angle. True wind steering is therefore used when
running, while steering to apparent wind is used when beating or
reaching.
When sailing in closed waters, the apparent wind angle may change
temporarily due to gusts. It may then be preferred to sail to; select
True.

VMG optimizing
Optimizing the VMG to wind will be active for 5–10 minutes after a
new wind angle has been set and only when beating.
