Abstract:
1. Motor vehicle lock, comprising: a latch, a ratchet which is adapted for holding the latch in a main catch, and a closing aid, the closing aid having an auxiliary closing drive with a pivoting driving element and an auxiliary closing lever which is pivotably coupled to the driving element, the latch being movable by the auxiliary closing drive via the driving element and via the auxiliary closing lever into a fully latched position in a closing process comprising a cycle of movements of the driving element, wherein the driving element is engageable with the auxiliary closing lever in a manner decoupling the auxiliary closing lever from the latch due to the cycle of movements of the driving element after the latch moves into the fully latched position, wherein the auxiliary closing lever is pivotably coupled to the driving element at a site which is spaced away from a pivoting axis of the driving element, and wherein the driving element has a stop and the auxiliary closing lever has an opposing stop, and wherein pivoting of the auxiliary closing lever relative to the driving element is adapted to cause the stop and the opposing stop to engage one another so as to block further pivoting.
