Narrative:

Departing teb runway 24. Cleared to fly the RNAV departure which requires a level off at 1;500 for a short distance and then a climb to 2;000. I normally manually fly and navigate this procedure; but the pilot not flying said that I should engage the FMS navigation for guidance. I did this but failed to also engage the vertical guidance. I expected the flight director to command a level-off at 1;500 ft; but it instead climbed to the altitude set in the altitude select. I realized what had happened; and returned to 1;500 ft. Factors: fatigue - I had been up all day and was getting tired. Change of procedure - I was used to hand flying the old SID. In addition to the new type of procedure (RNAV); I also tried to use a seldom used procedure. Cause: failed to properly program the flight guidance system.

Title: A FA900 Captain flying the TEB Runway 24 RNAV engaged LNAV but failed to engage VNAV and the aircraft leveled at 2;000 FT before being descended back to 1;500 FT. Fatigue was cited as an issue.
