Abstract: A motor-vehicle door latch has a pair of engageable parts one of which is movable between a pair of end positions and through an intermediate position and a pair of end-position sensors and an intermediate position sensor operable when the parts reach the respective positions. A drive engages at least one of the parts for displacing the parts from one end position through the intermediate position into the other end position. A controller operates the drive to displace the parts from the one end position to the intermediate position only when travel of the parts from the one end position to the intermediate position takes place in less than a predetermined first time and displaces the parts from the intermediate position to the other end position only when travel of the parts from the intermediate position to the other end position takes place in less than a predetermined second time different from the first time.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle door latch has an element displaceable between a locked position and an unlocked position and a bowden cable has one end connected to the element and an opposite end. A latch-actuating assembly has a housing, a main lever pivoted on the housing about a main axis between an actuated position and an unactuated position and formed offset from the main axis with an entrainment formation, and a secondary lever pivoted about a secondary axis and having an attachment point offset from both axes and connected to the bowden cable. Thus the secondary lever pivots about the secondary axis relative to the main lever synchronously with the element between locked and unlocked positions.
