Motor vehicle lock

A motor vehicle lock comprising:

• a lock latch pivotable about a geometric lock-latch axis and movable between an open position and a locked position;
• a pawl pivotable about a geometric pawl axis and movable between a lowered position in which the lock latch is held locked and a raised position in which the lock latch is released;
• an adjusting arrangement configured to move the pawl between the lowered and raised position;
• an electric drive arrangement configured to adjust the adjustment arrangement;
• an actuating lever pivotable about a geometric actuating-lever axis;
• a clutch arrangement disposed between the actuating lever and the pawl, the clutch arrangement being shiftable between an engaging state and a disengaging state, wherein, in the disengaging state, an actuating stroke of the actuating lever is an idle stroke with regard to raising of the pawl, and wherein, in the engaging state, the pawl is raisable via the actuating stroke of the actuating lever, wherein, the adjustment arrangement includes a starting position, a raising position, and an intermediate position provided between the starting position and the raising position, wherein the adjusting arrangement, in an opening movement, shifts the clutch arrangement out of the disengaging state and into the engaging state before the adjusting arrangement raises the pawl when the raising position is reached;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• actuate the drive arrangement to adjust the adjusting arrangement from the starting position to the raising position to raise the pawl, and
• in an unlocking routine, control the drive arrangement to start the opening movement, and, upon fulfilling an intermediate position criterion representative of reaching the intermediate position, modify the control such that the adjusting arrangement does not reach the raising position.

A motor vehicle lock comprising:

• a lock latch pivotable between an open position and a locked position;
• a pawl movable between a lowered position in which the lock latch is held locked and a raised position in which the lock latch is released;
• an adjusting arrangement configured to move the pawl between the lowered and raised position;
• a drive arrangement configured to adjust the adjustment arrangement;
• an actuating lever;
• a clutch arrangement configured to selectively couple the actuating lever and the pawl such that an opening movement of the adjusting arrangement shifts the clutch to couple the actuating lever to the pawl before the adjusting arrangement raises the pawl;
• and
• a controller configured to, during an unlocking routine, control the drive arrangement to start the opening movement, and, responsive to an intermediate position criterion being satisfied, modify the control such that the adjusting arrangement does not raise the pawl.
