There are two ways that you can invoke Autocomplete method. One is calling autocomplete on jQuery object and passing method name as string literal.
If method has arguments, arguments are passed as consecutive parameters:
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete('disable');
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete('setOptions', options);
Or you can get Autocomplete instance by calling autcomplete on jQuery object without any parameters and then invoke desired method.
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete().disable();
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete().setOptions(options);
