Abstract
A motor vehicle lock with a latch, a ratchet, an optional preliminary catch and a closing aid, the closing aid having an auxiliary closing drive with a pivoting driving element and an auxiliary closing lever which is pivotably coupled to the driving element. The latch can be moved by means of the auxiliary closing drive via the driving element and via the auxiliary closing lever into the fully latched position—closing process—and for this purpose, the auxiliary closing lever can be coupled to the latch. The driving element can be caused to engage the auxiliary closing lever such that the cycle of movements of the driving element, after the latch moves into the fully latched position, causes decoupling of the auxiliary closing lever from the latch.
