Abstract
Embodiments for heating a catalyst are provided. In one example, a method for controlling an internal combustion engine having an exhaust-gas aftertreatment device during a cold-start phase comprises adjusting a temperature of cooling water to a setpoint operating temperature as a function of a degree of aging of the exhaust-gas aftertreatment device of the internal combustion engine, wherein the temperature of the cooling water is increased more quickly as a present degree of aging of the exhaust-gas aftertreatment device increases.
