摘要

The first step (Start) commences a program run. The second step checks that the vehicle speed control is active (Tempomat activ). The third step checks that the engine is on overrun (Keine Motorenbefeuerung). The fourth step checks that the actual vehicle speed is greater than the desired speed (Istgeschwindigkeit Zielgeschwindigkeit). The fifth step involves brake application (Anforderung Bremseingriff). The sixth and final step ends the program run.
