A method of regenerating a particulate filter assembly and an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle

The invention relates to a method for regenerating a particulate filter (36), which exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine (14) of a vehicle is supplied. A temperature of the particulate filter (36) upstream of the oxidation catalyst (34) by, during a first period of time (38) is enriched exhaust gas from cylinders of the internal combustion engine (14) with fuel and this is in the oxidation catalyst (34) at least partly oxidized is increased. During a second period (40), the accumulation is suppressed. Here, during the first period (38) exhaust at least a first cylinder (16, 18) of the internal combustion engine (14) recycled in a Zulufttrakt the internal combustion engine (14), wherein during the first period (38) exhaust gas only a second cylinder (20, 22) is enriched, whose exhaust gas is supplied, dispensing with a recirculating the oxidation catalyst (34). Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement (10) of an exhaust system (12) to an internal combustion engine (14) of a vehicle.
