Abstract: A system and method for stopping an internal combustion engine. According to one aspect of the disclosure, a shutdown sequence of the engine includes retarding ignition timing relative to ignition timing prior to initiation of the shutdown sequence, and then advancing ignition timing relative to ignition timing prior to initiation of the shutdown sequence.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic-suspension assembly, consisting of at least one pair of pneumatic-suspension bellows (2), a cover (5) comprising a first connection area (6), a rolling piston and an external guide (10). The inventive pneumatic-suspension assembly is characterized in that a continuous pleated bearing (11) connects the cover (5) to the external guide (10) and surrounds the pneumatic suspension bellows (2), whereby the pleased bearing comprises the following components: a first retaining part (13), which is fixed together with the corresponding end of the bellows (12) to the cover (5) in the first connection area (6); a second retaining part (14), which encompasses at least one partial area of the outer surface of the eternal guide (10); and a system of pleats (1), which is located between the first and second retaining part (13, 14) and which comprises at least a first and a second pleat (15, 16) that run towards the interior of the assembly, forming at least one contraction (17).
