  • Device for operating an internal-combustion engine of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10047682
    Abstract: A device is provided for operating an internal-combustion engine of a motor vehicle having a power actuator and a control unit. The control unit is configured for adjusting the power actuator as a function of a load demand on the basis of a displacement of the driving pedal by the driver, wherein, during an efficiency mode demanded and activated by the driver, independently of the displacement of the driving pedal, a rotational-speed-dependent consumption-optimal first load demand, and as a function of the displacement of the driving pedal, a second load demand, are determined. The control unit is configured for adjusting the power actuator while taking into account the determined first and second load demands.
