Method for ventilating an interior (1-1) of a vehicle (1), comprising the steps: Determine, by means of a control (10), a formation of a negative interior pressure in the interior (1-1) while a journey of the vehicle (1) is maintained, as an interior air mode; Determine (S50), by means of the control (10), an
overproduction of a harmful gas in an
exhaust gas using a fuel-air ratio or an acceleration position value (APS), determining a pressure quantity of an accelerator pedal, in an
air conditioning system (7); Consider (S52, S53) the fulfillment of the formation of negative indoor pressure and the fulfillment of the
overproduction of the harmful gas as a triggering condition, and mix outside air into the indoor space (1-1) in order to reduce the negative indoor pressure in the
indoor air mode; and after mixing the outside air, taking into account (S60) the non-fulfillment of the
overproduction of the harmful gas as a cancellation condition and blocking the outside air; Before the step of determining the formation of negative cabin pressure and determining the overproduction of the harmful gas in the
exhaust gas, a
throttle position value (DPS) and a vehicle speed are checked together with a fuel-air ratio, the acceleration position value (APS), a catalyst temperature, a
coolant temperature, and a lean NO x -LNT front end temperature,
diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration,
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) load and selective catalytic
reducer (SCR) front end temperature using
exhaust emission data; and determine (S40) whether an operating status of the
air conditioning system (7) is in the
indoor air mode.
