A method for operating an internal combustion engine including feeding a pilot quantity of gas fuel, into a prechamber before a piston reaches a top dead center position. The method comprises autoignition of the pilot quantity of gas fuel in the prechamber, feeding a main quantity of gas fuel into the prechamber after the autoignition, and ignition of the main quantity of gas fuel by the conditions in the prechamber that are brought about by the autoignited pilot quantity. The method makes it possible to operate an internal combustion engine purely with methane or some other gaseous fuel, by means of compression autoignition of the pilot quantity.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine

An operating method for a driver assistance system, in particular a cruise control system of a motor vehicle. The operating method comprises determining at least one operationally relevant road property of a road on an impending route of the motor vehicle, wherein the operationally relevant road property affects operation of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle. The operating method comprises determining a driving recommendation in accordance with the operationally relevant road property on the impending route of the motor vehicle. The operating method comprises setting the variable valve gear in accordance with the driving recommendation determined.

Operating method for a driver assistance system and motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for assisted upshifting in a gear change of a transmission connected to a combustion engine. The method comprises the initiation of an upshifting process. The method comprises the reduction of an engine speed of the combustion engine by switching to an engine-braking mode, wherein a variable valve gear, in particular a trip cam system, of the combustion engine serves for switching to the engine-braking mode. Alternatively or in addition, in the engine-braking mode a first exhaust valve of the combustion engine is at first kept closed during the compression stroke and/or during the exhaust stroke for the compression of air and is opened before reaching a top dead centre of a piston movement for decompression of the compressed air.

Method for assisted upshifting and device for this purpose

A variable drive for an internal combustion engine with a first gas exchange valve, in particular outlet valve, and a second gas exchange valve, in particular outlet valve. The variable valve drive has a sliding cam system. The sliding cam system has an axially displaceable cam carrier which, for the first gas exchange valve, has only two cams, namely a first cam and a second cam offset axially with respect thereto, and, for the second gas exchange valve, has only two cams, namely a third cam and a fourth cam offset axially with respect thereto. The first cam, the second cam, the third cam and the fourth cam differ from a zero lift cam. The first cam and the third cam are identical in design. The second cam and the fourth cam differ in design.
