Narrative:
We were assigned the van nuys 3 departure. I planned on using the autopilot to minimize workload and armed nav while taxiing for departure. The departure basically says to make a climbing turn to a 213 heading with altitude specified by ATC and expect a vector to vny VOR. During the departure with the autopilot engaged we turned beyond 213 degrees. ATC queried us about our heading and I disconnected the autopilot and turned back to a 213 heading.I may be mistaken but I think there is a difference in the van nuys 3 from runway 15 between the FMS and jeppfd pro. I think the FMS was turning us to the vny VOR after the 213 heading. Please compare the procedures. Clearly; I should have applied cami and intervened. But; I didn't expect that there would be an issue so I wasn't ready for it.
