The bond fluctuation model on a square lattice with a bond-length dependent potential exhibits in simulations of slow cooling a kinetic glass transition where the system falls out of equilibrium. Extending previous work, the relaxation functions of gyration radius and end-to-end distance, and the bond autocorrelation function of the polymers are presented and related to the time-dependent displacements of inner monomeric units and center of gravity of the whole chains, respectively. Over a wide temperature range the data can be collapsed on master curves satisfying the time-temperature superposition principle for Rouse dynamics.
