Abstract

A method for operating an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine has multiple cylinders and the cylinders are assigned a respective exhaust valve and intake valve. The internal combustion engine has a crankshaft, an intake camshaft, and an exhaust camshaft. Initially, the internal combustion engine is operated in a first operating state. A second operating state of the internal combustion engine is set by the intake camshaft being adjusted late relative to the crankshaft in comparison to the first operating state and the exhaust camshaft being adjusted early relative to the crankshaft in comparison to the first operating state. To set the second operating state, the intake camshaft is adjusted late by a first value which is in a range from 50-120 crank angle degrees and the exhaust camshaft is adjusted early by a second value which is in a range of 1-35 crank angle degrees.
