Claim 0:
1. A motor vehicle lock for a movable part of a vehicle, the motor vehicle lock comprising:
a locking mechanism having a pawl and a rotary latch; and
a sensor arrangement assigned to the locking mechanism, with the sensor arrangement having a fixed sensor, a first sensing element disposed on the rotary latch, and a second sensing element disposed on the pawl, wherein the first sensing element and the second sensing element are detectable by the fixed sensor, such that a position of the rotary latch and the pawl are detectable by the fixed sensor such that a pre-locking position, a primary locking position, an intermediate position, and an open position of the locking mechanism are detectable, the fixed sensor being formed as a Hall sensor, wherein the fixed sensor generates different output signals associated with the pre-locking position, the primary locking position, the intermediate position, and the open position, and wherein the different output signals of the fixed sensor are generated as a function of an angle of rotation of the rotary latch and/or an angle of rotation of the pawl,
wherein a width of the first sensing element changes between a pre-locking contour of the rotary latch and a primary locking contour of the rotary latch, and
wherein the width of the first sensing element in the region of the primary locking contour is larger than in a region of the pre-locking contour, wherein the different widths of the first sensing element correspond to the different output signals generated by the fixed sensor.
