Abstract

The total ignition angle ZW(z) of each cylinder z is composed of cylinder-selective values basic ignition angle GZ(z) {determined by engine speed n and load L}, knock adjustment angle KNK(z), in addition to a first adaptation value AD,(z) and a second adaptation value AD,common to all cylinders. AD,(z) is increased when KNK(z) is greater than a threshold DEC and is reduced when KNK(z) is lower than a threshold INC. The second adaptation value AD,is formed as a function of the average value {overscore (AD,+L )} of the adaptation values of all cylinders.
