Abstract
A method for starting an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes detecting before a direct starting of the internal combustion engine that a piston which is disposed translationally moveably in a start cylinder of the internal combustion engine is in an upper half of, or in a middle of, a stroke of the piston. In response to the detecting, rotating an output shaft of the internal combustion engine in a direction of rotation of the output shaft such that the piston is in a lower half of the stroke of the piston and in an intermediate position. The method further includes rotating the output shaft in a second direction of rotation before and/or during fuel being first directly injected into the start cylinder such that the piston is moved out of the intermediate position in a direction of an upper dead center of the piston.
