    Abstract: A safety device for a motor vehicle includes a bonnet with an open and closed position, a bonnet lock with a lock retainer and a rotary latch, and an electric drive which shifts the rotary latch from a main locking position into a preliminary locking position. The lock retainer has an actuator, wherein in a first position of the actuator and in the preliminary locking position of the rotary latch, the lock retainer engages with the rotary latch and the bonnet is locked, and in a second position of the actuator, the lock retainer is released by the rotary latch and the bonnet is unlocked. The bonnet is coupled to the actuator such that in the preliminary locking position of the rotary latch a displacement of the bonnet towards the closed position of the bonnet causes a displacement of the actuator from the first position into the second position.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a microswitch that allows the setting of the microswitch to be detected. The microswitch includes a conducting element movable along a surface that includes at least one conducting track that is contacted by the movable conducting element. Actuating the microswitch moves the movable conducting element along the surface resulting in electrically connecting or disconnecting two electrical tracks and causing electrical switching. In addition, the contact surfaces electrically connected by the conducting element may have different electrically conductive regions such that moving the connected surfaces changes the electrical resistances. Different switch positions can be determined by measuring resistance.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle lock comprising a locking mechanism provided with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, a rotary movement of the rotary latch can be blocked by means of the pawl, a drive device by means of which the pawl can be transferred from the locked position into a release position for the locking mechanism, and an adjusting device (9). A motor vehicle part (4) accommodating the vehicle lock can be moved from the closed position into an open position by means of the adjusting device (9). Said adjusting device (9) maintains the motor vehicle part (4) in the open position such that the motor vehicle part (4) can be prevented from opening automatically from the open position.
