Abstract

A motor vehicle lock for a trunk lid or a tailgate of a motor vehicle. In this motor vehicle lock, two driver elements are provided on a disk-shaped driving element and they implement different speed reduction ratios with respect to the ratchet. In this way, an optimum, staggered starting characteristic is produced; moreover, construction effort and costs are minimized.
