Narrative:
We were departing teb (teterboro; nj;) assigned to fly a teb five departure for runway 24. We selected the departure from the FMS database and set up the FMS so the aircraft autopilot would fly the procedure. At approximately 1200 ft AGL; I attempted to engage the autopilot; I was experiencing difficulty getting the autopilot to engage. At this point we were in continual light with occasional moderated turbulence. After several attempts the autopilot engaged and flew the aircraft. We contacted ny departure control as instructed. The controller informed us of the 1500 ft until 4.5 DME restriction. We both acknowledged the SID requirement to each other. With the delay in getting the autopilot engaged I can't be sure just when we departed 1500 ft for 2000 ft. In summation; the compressed workload (speed restrictions; noise abatement procedure; turbulence) combined with autopilot issue all contributed significantly to the occurrence.
