If, due to external effects, an actuator moves from its required position by more than  
± 0.3° (neutral band) for more than 8 seconds, the supply of fuel will be shut down.

The required position is considered to be reached when it is within ± 0.3°. 
When reaching a new position within ± 0.3°, the fuel / air ratio control system makes a 
fine adjustment on the actuators. 
Readjustments of the position are made only if the current position deviates from the 
required position by more than 0.3°, followed by another fine adjustment. 
If, during the load change, an actuator is mechanically blocked, the supply of fuel will 
be shut down within 3 or 8 seconds.
