When a deviation of the locally customary behavior from a registered behavior of the first vehicle, a registered behavior of a third vehicle, or a deviation of the locally customary behavior from the digital map is established, the execution of at least one function is initiated. A control unit, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.
