Method and device for operating an engine of a motor vehicle

The present invention is directed to a method and device for operating an engine (1) of a motor vehicle. Firstly, driving condition parameters of the engine (1) and/or the motor vehicle are captured over a predetermined period of time. After that the probabilities of parameters for the future operation of the engine (1) in relation to the captured driving condition parameters are ascertained. Finally, operating parameters of the engine (1) are adjusted in relation to the ascertained probability values for the parameters.
