Motor vehicle lock

A motor vehicle lock with a supporting structure for holding at least one locking element and a lock mechanism, wherein the lock mechanism can be put into different function states and, for this purpose, has a function element that can be moved into different function positions corresponding to the function states, wherein a drive assembly having a drive train to the function element is provided for the motorized adjustment of the function element, wherein an actuating element is provided, by an actuating motion of which said locking element can be actuated,

• wherein the function element in one function position guides the actuating motion of the actuating element either into a free-movement path, in which the actuating element moves freely, or into an actuation path, in which the actuating element actuates the locking element, and for this purpose the function element applies a guiding force to the actuating element to guide the actuating motion of the actuating element, a force flow of which guiding force runs outside of the drive train of the drive assembly,
• wherein the function element has a guide contour for guiding the actuating element, and
• wherein the guide contour is formed as a cylinder segment.
