Autopilot

Good morning,

 

I am doing a flight and I think I have followed the procedures outlined in the Tutorial to include using the AFE. However, when I attempt to engage the autopilot, the switch wont turn on. Was this an issue on my end or is there I step that I might have missed that would not allow me to engage the autopilot?

Gyropilot switch on
Autopilot clutch lever (back side of pedestal, bottom left)
Mode switch must be on Gyropilot (not LOC or APP)
Turn knob must be centered
