Abstract
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism, an actuating lever mechanism, comprising at least one actuating lever and a coupling lever, and finally at least one blocking element. The blocking element ensures a mechanical connection between the actuating lever and the coupling lever during normal operation. In the event of acceleration forces of a specified magnitude, for example during an accident, the blocking element mechanically separates the actuating lever and the coupling lever. According to the invention, a locking element is provided in addition to the blocking element, said locking element acting on an actuating element for the coupling lever such that at least during an accident, the coupling lever is not just mechanically separated from the actuating lever but additionally assumes the 'locked' position.
