How to intercept the level-off segment

Thank you very much for the reply.

So if the glide path (or I would rather call a descent profile )(for a non precision approach in this case) is to be intercepted with the FCU altitude set at an altitude that differs from that of the level-off segment ,the only way to level-off would be pushing the V/S/FPA selector knob, right? So according to FCOM, the moment the V/S,FPA selector knob is pushed in, Final mode engages?
