Abstract
A device for locking a trunk lid of a motor vehicle comprises a base plate secured to a trunk structure, a latch member rotatively supported on the base plate for holding a striker secured to the trunk lid, and a detent lever being engageable with the latch member to hold the latch member in a locking position. Furthermore, the device has a lock lever for rotating the latch member and the detent lever. When the trunk lid is closed, the lock lever rotates the latch member to move the striker in a locking position. When the trunk lid is opened, the lock lever rotates the detent lever to release the detent lever from the latch member.
