Abstract:
Motor vehicle lock comprising:a lock housing, lock elements including a rotary latch and a detent pawl, and a lock mechanism for controlled actuation of the detent pawl, the lock mechanism having a detent pawl lever which is supported on a housing-mounted pivot axis, an inside actuation lever which is actuatable from an inside door handle and which is supported on a housing-mounted pivot axis that extends in the same direction as the pivot axis of the detent pawl lever, a coupling lever which couples and decouples the inside actuation lever with the detent pawl lever and which is supported on a pivot axis which extends in the same direction as the pivot axes of the detent pawl lever and inside actuation lever, the coupling lever being movable into a coupling position and a decoupling anti-theft position, and a central interlock lever which is adapted to couple and decouple an outside door handle with one of the detent pawl lever and the detent pawl, the central interlock lever being movable into a released position for coupling the outside door handle to the detent pawl lever and the detent pawl and into a locked position for decoupling the outside door handle, and also being mechanically movable out of the locked position into the released position by actuation of the inside actuation lever; wherein the pivot axis of the coupling lever is arranged on the inside actuation lever, free of the housing at a distance from the pivot axis of the inside actuation lever and wherein the pivot axis of the inside actuation lever is identical to the pivot axis of the detent pawl lever.
