The method comprises switching the combustion engine from the first to the second operating state, wherein, in the cylinder to be deactivated, an exhaust valve is deactivated after a combustion stroke and an intake valve is deactivated before an intake stroke following the combustion stroke in the closed state, and changing an ignition angle of the cylinder to be deactivated to an earlier ignition time and an optional change of the air/fuel mixture leads to a reduction in a temperature of an exhaust gas arising during the combustion stroke.

Abstract: A restraint system for a vehicle, with which in a pre-crash phase prior to a predicted front crash time a vehicle occupant resting on a vehicle seat can be raised from a comfort position to an upright operative position by a forward displacer, in which in a crash phase a seat belt fastened on the vehicle occupant exerts a restraining effect on the vehicle occupant, in which an electromotive reversible belt pretensioner is activated to limit the restraining force exerted on the vehicle occupant to a predefined force level, namely by means of forward displacement of the vehicle occupant along a belt force limiting travel. In accordance with the invention, when raising the vehicle occupant to the operative position in the pre-crash phase, the electromotively reversible belt pretensioner generates a pre-crash belt slack so as to provide the pre-crash belt pullout travel required for raising the vehicle occupant in a restraining-force-free manner.
