German term or phrase: darstellen (in this sense)
I know this term (which has so many possible definitions) has come up here before, but I can't decide on the best translation for it in this patentese context: ...wobei ueber das hydrostatische Getriebe eine automatische Kriechfunktion des Fahrzeuges DARSTELLBAR ist. I found "can be presented" but I suspect that may be a machine translation, and I've never heard "a function can be presented" in English before. I was thinking "manifest", "brought about", "induced" or even "realized". This text also uses "abbilden/abgebildet" in the same context. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Explanation:
That is what I would use in this context. It's the short version of "van be viewed as possible" or "can be presented as possible" , but the latter is the last of what I would use.

Thanks, Alexander. I have to turn this in tonight, so I am going to go with your suggestion, using "make/is made possible" in some instances.

  -> Thanks you, Kim.

disagree  Johannes Gleim: Im Patent wird die Kriechfunktion nicht als "möglich angesehen", sondern beschrieben. Nachdem dies bekannt ist, muss ich mein Urteil leider herabstufen. Sorry!

  -> "possible" can also be read as "the function is available and can (possibly) be used". Vielen Dank für das sprachliche Verständnis.
