A lid system includes: a lid for a vehicle, the lid being configured to be opened when the vehicle is supplied with energy; a lid locking device for the lid; a control device configured to control the lid locking device; and a switch operable by a user. When the switch is turned on, the control device interlocks a locked state and an unlocked state of the lid locking device with a locked state and an unlocked state of a door locking device for a door of the vehicle. When the switch is turned off, the control device does not interlock the locked state and the unlocked state of the lid locking device with the locked state and the unlocked state of the door locking device.

A method of forming a motor vehicle door lock includes arranging a lever, providing an electric drive that pivots the lever to place the motor vehicle door lock in an open state and includes a motor and a wheel gear that is driven by the motor and has a circumferential face, forming at least one damping stop on the wheel gear that protrudes axially from the circumferential face of the wheel gear and extends from the circumferential face toward a stop plane that is spaced from and parallel to an actuating plane in which the wheel gear and the lever are rotatable, providing a housing stop surface that is engageable by the damping stop along the stop plane in a rotational direction of the wheel gear, and forming the damping stop and the wheel gear as a single piece using a two-component injection molding process.
