Abstract
A method and a regulating arrangement ( ) for heating the cab ( ) of a vehicle is described. In the event of a start in a cold environment, a heating program is carried out to heat the cab ( ) more rapidly, if the diesel engine temperature, measured by a temperature sensor ( ), is below a predetermined value. The supply of air to the diesel engine is reduced via the throttle valve ( ) to set a currently predetermined intake pressure. If the driver demands a higher acceleration of the vehicle by actuating the accelerator pedal, throttling can be temporarily canceled. When the engine temperature has exceeded a second value, the heating program is terminated and the engine control ( ) returns to normal operation. In order to assist the heating phase, in addition, the exhaust-gas recirculation valve ( ) may be closed and electrical consumers switched on.
