It selects the course you want to fly when you set it and turn on the A/P.

Once the A/P is turned on, the HDG will control heading independent of a navaid.  The CRS will track a VOR radial (ie. 360 or 183 or whatever) from the VOR you have dialed in on the Nav1 radio.  How did you get the picture of the patch off to the left of the post?

There's no 'activation', it's just setting the OBS-I'd recommend seeing the VOR lessons in FS ;)
