No, it only can hold pitch so you don't burn up.
You have to make your deorbit burn at the right time.
There's a topic in this forum which describes a quite safe method to get the right time.
Anyone?

I have the same difficult, totally unable to land precisely, at the best, I land in the same ''hemisphere'', and when I'm
very lucky, I touchdown on the ground instead the water (if by a miracle (Very a miracle, this is the only possibility) , I
come not so far of a landing base, I can land perfectly)
