FIELD: transportation.
SUBSTANCE: control unit (16) receives state data (L, F, Toil, Tout, Tcool, W) related to at least one environment value (Tout) influencing during the parking phase on at least one working parameter (Temp) and/or related to the appropriate state of at least one component (14, 20, 28) of a vehicle, and depending on the state data (L, F, Toil, Tout, Tcool, W) sets for the internal combustion engine (14) at least one on-time moment (ton) and/or at least one work length (l1, l2), so that the amount of working energy generated by the internal combustion engine (14) during the parking phase and/or a release executes the set minimization criterion.
EFFECT: ensuring and maintaining the working capacity of the vehicle in conditions of low ambient temperatures.
