Abstract

A device for suppressing knocks in internal combustion engines, in which the ignition firing point is adjusted after knocking has occurred, and this knock control is only activated in response to specifiable thermal conditions in the internal combustion engine. The gas-inlet temperature in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is ascertained for the valuation of the thermal conditions of the internal combustion engine and for switching the knock control into the active state.
