Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door and to a method for acting on said motor vehicle door in terms of braking/holding or pulling closed/opening. The motor vehicle door is equipped with a driven (4, 5; 4) door leaf (1), a magnetic arrangement (4) as component of the drive (4, 5; 4) and at least one sensor (6) assigned to the door leaf (1). According to the invention, on the basis of a speed and/or position of the door leaf (1) with respect to a motor vehicle body (2) detected by means of the sensor (6), the magnetic arrangement (4) is supplied with power by a control unit (7) for either braking or holding, or pulling closed or opening the door leaf (1).

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a reliably functioning lock for a motor vehicle in particular. This is achieved in that the claimed lock for a door or a panel has a locking mechanism consisting of a rotary latch and at least one pawl for locking the rotary latch. The rotary latch and the pawl are preferably designed such that the rotary latch is capable of introducing an opening torque into the pawl. The locking mechanism has a triggering lever for opening the locking mechanism. A transmission device is further provided which increases the pivotal movement of the triggering lever and which comprises a transmission lever in particular for moving the pawl out of the locking position of the pawl by means of a follower. On the basis of the pivotal movement transmission caused by the transmission lever, a relatively small pivotal movement of the triggering lever is sufficient to move the pawl completely out of the locking position by means of the follower.
