A motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, is equipped with a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a rotary latch and a pawl. Moreover, an actuating lever chain acting upon the locking mechanism is provided with a coupling lever. When engaged, the coupling lever ensures that the actuating lever chain is closed in order to actuate the locking mechanism and is open when disengaged. In order to change between these two stable end positions, the coupling lever engages by means of a pin into a slotted link of a positioning lever, which slotted link guides the pin. According to the invention, the slotted link is designed as a bidirectional slotted link in such a way that, when the coupling lever is acted upon, the pin reaches its first end position along a first path and, after the coupling lever has been acted upon again, reaches its second end position along a second path which is separate from the first path.
A motor vehicle lock, comprising:
The motor vehicle lock according to claim, 8 further comprising an electromotive drive, wherein the coupling arm is configured to actuate the coupling lever by the electromotive drive.
