Page 8-7 of Rev Q, Operator's Manual says the following about the simplified autopilot controls:

Press the LEVEL button to engage the autopilot in Level mode. Subsequent presses of the LEVEL button are ignored.

Page 8-12 says the same words about the expert autopilot mode, but then page 8-15 says the following:

Pressing the button for any active mode turns off that mode and any armed mode for the axis, turns off the flight director and disengages the servo for the axis.

Pressing the button for any armed mode disarms that mode.

Personally, for me, if level was active and I pressed it again, I would like the autopilot to do what it says on page 8-15.  Otherwise maybe just update the words on page 8-15.

The assumption is that in a panic situation a user may press LEVEL multiple times. We don't want that toggling the AP on and off.
