I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but most autopilot manufacturers publish
the POH's for their autopilots on their websites in .pdf format.

I actually did read up on how to use the AP before trying it. The
training materials included a thick book that was like a POH for the
172, but was for training only. It has a supplement covering the
operation of the auto pilot. My instructor has long since moved on to
become a jet commuter pilot, but I've kept up contact with the school
and the instructor who is still there and he encouraged me to read up
on it in that manual.

He also said that he'd be happy to fly with me to check me out on it,
but I was loath to spend the $45/hour. I will continue to try out the
various things it can do as I pick my good weather flying days.
