Method for regenerating a particulate filter of a combustion engine and correspondingly equipped control means and vehicle

For the regeneration of a particulate filter (3) of an internal combustion engine (2) for a vehicle (10), the following steps are carried out: switching into a preheating operating state of the internal combustion engine (2), wherein in the preheating operating state a preheating of exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine (2) is performed. Dividing an in-engine post-injected fuel quantity into a number of in-engine post-injections (Pol1, Pol2a, Pol2b) during the preheating operating state. In this case, the number is greater than a number of in-engine post-injections in a further operating state of the internal combustion engine (2), which differs from the preheating operating state.
