Claim:
1. A coupling device for a motor vehicle, comprising: a friction-locking unit; a form-locking unit, wherein the form-locking unit is connected in parallel with the friction-locking unit and has a first form-locking element and a second form-locking element which are connectable to one another by form-locking, are movable along a direction of actuation relative to one another, and wherein the first form-locking element and the second form-locking element each have a respective claw; and a first actuating unit and a second actuating unit which are independent of one another, wherein the friction-locking unit and the form-locking unit are each actuatable by one of the first actuating unit and the second actuating unit; wherein each of the respective claws has a respective top surface which is oriented obliquely with respect to the direction of actuation and which is oriented transversely with respect to the direction of actuation; wherein each of the respective claws has a respective coupling flank which encloses an angle greater than 90° with a plane defined by the respective top surface and which is oriented parallel to the direction of actuation; and wherein each of the respective claws has a respective flank opposite the respective coupling flank which encloses an angle less than 90° with the plane defined by the respective top surface and which is oriented parallel to the direction of actuation.
