Abstract
The subject matter of the present invention is a motor-vehicle door lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism, further with an opening drive () which acts on the locking mechanism, and also with an operating lever mechanism (). At least one sensor () for checking an operator opening request is further provided. Finally, a safety device (), which prevents the locking mechanism () from opening at least in its 'safe' position, is provided. The invention makes provision for an intermediate lever () of the operating lever mechanism (), which intermediate lever mechanically converts the operator opening request, to selectively act on or not act on the sensor () which actuates the opening drive (), depending on the position of the safety device ().
