Method for controlling combustion processes in an off-load internal combustion engine

The method as recited in one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the ignition-timing retard value is calculated from an ignition-retard value dependent on the engine speed.

The method as recited in one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the ignition-timing retard value is calculated from the sum of an adaptive ignition-retard value and an ignition-retard value dependent on the engine speed.

The method as recited in one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the adaptation of the knock-control dynamics is deactivated while the ignition timing is retarded.

The method as recited in one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the ignition timing is retarded below a predeterminable vehicle-speed threshold.

The method as recited in one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the load-dynamics threshold is determined by a control device (11) or stored in it, the unloaded operating state of the engine and the exceeding of the load-dynamics threshold in the unloaded operating state are detected by a detection unit (12), and the ignition timing is retarded by an ignition-timing adjustment unit (13), to form a load-dynamics aiming-off allowance.
