Abstract
A device for controlling an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, in particular, an electrified hybrid vehicle with a traction electric machine. The internal combustion engine has multiple cylinders, each of which is equipped with at least one outlet valve which can be switched to two stages. An electronic control unit controls: i) suppression of each of a plurality of cylinders of the internal combustion engine for at least one work cycle, wherein the outlet valves are kept closed, ii) actuation of the outlet valves and the inlet valves of the cylinders of the internal combustion engine in a synchronized manner, and iii) after the suppression process has ended, opening of the outlet valve at least in the first cylinder when the inlet valve is closed, and the enclosed gas is pushed out without being injected and ignited.
