Abstract: A method and a device is described for controlling an internal combustion engine using fuel metering. The fuel metering is divisible into at least a first partial injection and a second partial injection. In the second partial injection, a fuel quantity variable, characterizing the fuel quantity injected in the second partial injection, is corrected on the basis of at least one pressure variable, characterizing the fuel pressure, as well as of the fuel quantity variable and at least one further variable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for dividing up a total fuel amount, which is to be injected into the combustion chamber of a cylinder during a combustion cycle, into a plurality of injections. To this end, a first fuel amount, which is to be injected during a first injection is determined, a fourth, minimum fuel amount for a third injection is determined, and the total fuel amount minus the first fuel amount is compared to the fourth, minimum fuel amount. When the total fuel amount minus the first fuel amount is greater than or equal to the fourth, minimum fuel amount, the first fuel amount and a second fuel amount, which is to be injected into the combustion chamber of the cylinder during a second injection, are set to zero, and a third fuel amount, which is to be injected during a third injection, is set to the total fuel amount.

Abstract: A method of safeguarding against manipulation of an odometer or trip recorder in a motor vehicle, in which the instantaneous odometer reading is determined when the engine of the motor vehicle is stopped and that odometer reading is stored in an on-board control unit, in particular an engine control unit. Moreover, the instantaneous odometer reading of the odometer on restarting the engine is determined, and the odometer reading found on restarting the engine is compared with the stored odometer reading. Suitable measures are initiated for the case when the odometer reading found on restarting the engine and the stored odometer reading do not match.
