MOTOR VEHICLE LOCK

A motor vehicle lock having a striker plate and at least one pawl, wherein the striker plate can be set to an open position and to at least one closed position, wherein the pawl can be set to an engaged position, in which it holds the striker plate in the at least one closed position, and into a raised position, in which it releases the striker plate. The motor vehicle lock comprises an actuation lever, more particularly an internal actuation lever, which can be moved in an actuation stroke from an initial position into an actuation position, wherein a switchable coupling arrangement, which can be switched between an engaged state and a disengaged state, is arranged between the actuation lever and the pawl, wherein the coupling arrangement switches out of the disengaged state into the engaged state on a first actuation stroke of the actuation lever from the initial position, wherein the first actuation stroke is an empty stroke in respect of raising the pawl, and wherein the pawl can be raised by a second actuation stroke of the actuation lever from the initial position into the actuation position. The coupling arrangement switches from the engaged state into the disengaged state as a result of the second actuation stroke.
