Lock for a motor vehicle, in particular hood or hinged-panel lock

A hood lock for a motor vehicle, the hood lock comprising:

• a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and a pawl,
• a lock holder interacting with the locking mechanism,
• a release lever, wherein the rotary latch in a main latching position and a pre-latching position, is unlocked by the release lever,
• wherein the rotary latch is transferred from the main latching position into the pre-latching position after a first actuation of the release lever, and the rotary latch is moved into a release position from the pre-latching position after a second actuation of the release lever,
• a closing drive, wherein the rotary latch is moved by the closing drive from the pre-latching position into the main latching position,
• a control lever, wherein the control lever directly engages the rotary latch and is biased to move as a result of the rotary latch moving from the main latching position to the release position,
• a first switch, wherein at least one position of the rotary latch is detected by the first switch via detecting a position of the control lever, and
• a second switch that is only actuated when the pawl is in a pawl pre-latching position corresponding to the pre-latching position of the rotary latch,
• wherein the first switch and the second switch are unactuated in the main latching position of the rotary latch corresponding to a pawl main latching position, and
• wherein the second switch is unactuated when the pawl is in a pawl open position,
• wherein the pawl is actuated electrically via the release lever, and
• wherein the pawl pre-latching position is determined via detecting a position of the release level when the release lever actuates the second switch.
