If the aileron trim is used with the autopilot engaged the trim is not reflected in the control wheel position, the autopilot overpowers the trim and holds the control wheel where it is required for track control.. Any aileron trim applied when the autopilot is engaged can result in an out of trim condition and an abrupt roll when the autopilot is disconnected. On the B737NG anyway!
