Abstract

A control unit for controlling a phase angle of a first camshaft of an internal combustion engine includes a first characteristic diagram signal generator for determining a dynamic setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft, a second characteristic diagram signal generator for determining a static setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft, and a first interpolator for determining a corrected setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft based on the dynamic setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft and on the static setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft. A motor vehicle including a control unit for controlling a phase angle of a first camshaft of an internal combustion engine and a method for controlling a phase angle of a first camshaft of an internal combustion engine are also provided.
