Abstract
A lock arrangement for an engine hood or a tailgate of a vehicle may have a locking element, a rotary catch for the locking element, a security element for securing the locking element in a secured position of the lock arrangement, a cam for unlocking and locking, and at least one actuating drive. The rotary catch and the locking element are coupled in locking fashion in a closed position of the lock arrangement. The at least one actuating drive may be designed as a two-way actuating drive which interacts with the cam. The cam is formed in such a way that, during the first actuation of the actuating drive, both in one step and in separate steps and in different sequences, the cam unlocks the rotary catch and locks the security element, or conversely the cam locks the security element and unlocks the rotary catch.
