Abstract

With a lock for a front hood of a motor vehicle, a locking pawl engages about a rotary latch. This engagement creates a positive connection of the locking pawl to the rotary latch perpendicularly to their intended movement directions. This prevents that during a crash of the motor vehicle the locking pawl is separated from the rotary latch and the lock therefore unlocked.
