Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine. In the method, the operation of the motor vehicle is influenced as a function of at least one operating parameter determined during an operating time of the motor vehicle. In order to take wear and tear of the motor vehicle and the internal combustion engine into consideration, an operating parameter suitable for determining wear and tear of the motor vehicle is detected, a value corresponding to the wear and tear is determined, and the operation of the motor vehicle is adjusted according to the determined value.
Claims18
A method of operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of:
- determining at least one operating parameter during an operating time of the motor vehicle;
- influencing an operation of the motor vehicle as a function of the at least one operating parameter;
- detecting an operating parameter suitable for determining a wear and tear of the motor vehicle;
- establishing a value corresponding to the wear and tear;
- and
- adjusting the operation of the motor vehicle according to the value corresponding to the wear and tear, wherein, with an increase in the wear and tear, a threshold above which a diagnostic unit concludes there is a fault in a part of the motor vehicle is elevated.
A computer program for causing a computer to perform the steps of:
- determining at least one operating parameter during an operating time of a motor vehicle;
- influencing an operation of the motor vehicle as a function of the at least one operating parameter;
- detecting an operating parameter suitable for determining a wear and tear of the motor vehicle;
- establishing a value corresponding to the wear and tear;
- and
- adjusting the operation of the motor vehicle according to the value corresponding to the wear and tear, wherein, with an increase in the wear and tear, a threshold above which a diagnostic unit concludes there is a fault in a part of the motor vehicle is elevated.
A control system for operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- at least one sensor with which an operating parameter of the motor vehicle is determined;
- and
- a control unit for influencing an operation of the motor vehicle depending on the determined operating parameter, wherein:
- the at least one sensor detects an operating parameter suitable for determining a wear and tear of the motor vehicle, and
- the control unit determines a value corresponding to the wear and tear and adjusts the operation of the motor vehicle according to the determined value, whereby, with an increase in the wear and tear, a threshold above which a diagnostic unit concludes there is a fault in a part of the motor vehicle is elevated.
