Gary - I am thinking our systems are quite different. I have two separate leveling systems - hydraulic and air. They have separate keypads and do not interact except that hydraulic auto-leveling causes the air to dump to zero on the dash gauge. Hydraulic manual-leveling does not dump the air. My hydraulic leveling keypad is located on the horizontal surface left of the pilot's left elbow. The hydraulic leveling keypad is a series of two-way rocker switches - from left to right: on/off, manual left aft leg, manual fore leg, manual right aft leg, and auto level/auto retract. The air leveling keypad is located on the vertical surface just above the hydraulic keypad. Interestingly, leveling can be achieved by either system, and both systems have an auto-leveling mode and manual-leveling mode. The hydraulic leveling keypad is about 3" by 5". The air leveling keypad is about 5" by 5".
Adjacent to the hydraulic leveling keypad's auto level/auto retract rocker switch are three lights - two green and one red. I have not taken the time to figure out what these lights are telling me. Perhaps I should, eh?
