Abstract
The subject matter of the invention is a motor vehicle door lock which can be locked and unlocked by motor and can be opened both mechanically and also by motor, with a lock mechanism with several interacting elements, and the outside actuating element () which can be actuated by hand from the outside door handle can actuate a release element or directly a lock element (), especially a detent pawl, via a coupling element () in the coupled position and in the decoupled position executes an idle stroke, and the coupling element () can be moved by motor from the coupled position into the decoupled position and vice versa when the outside actuation element () is not actuated, for motorized actuation of the coupling element () there being a central interlock drive () and the central interlock drive () in a second function can also actuate the release element or the lock element (). This is characterized in that normally opening actuation takes place mechanically only with the outside actuation element () and that the central interlock drive () in the second function actuates the release element or the lock element () only when the outside actuating element () is already in the idle stroke in this phase.
