A motor vehicle lock in a fitted state interacts with a striker. The motor vehicle lock includes an adjustable catch and an adjustable locking pawl. The catch is adjustable into a main locking state and into an opening state, and the locking pawl is adjustable into an entry state, and into a lifted state. The motor vehicle lock includes a tensioning mechanism. When the catch is in the main locking state and the locking pawl is in the entry state, the tensioning mechanism can be brought into a tensioned state in which the tensioning mechanism introduces a mechanical preload into the catch in its opening direction. The tensioning mechanism can be brought into a relaxed state, in which the preload originating from the tensioning mechanism is reduced or cancelled.

In a door hinge device for the vehicle, in a vehicle without a B pillar, a hinge slider connected to a hinge portion of a door slides and moves in an external diagonal direction of a vehicle body along upper and lower rails by a driving torque of a motor inside a case, securing a rotation trajectory of the door, and then a striker fixed to the hinge slider is restrained by a latch portion fixed to the case to fix the slide movement position of the hinge slider, ensuring stability of the opening/closing operation of the door.

The present disclosure relates to a closure latch assembly and system for a vehicle closure panel equipped with a latch mechanism having a latched position and an unlatched position and a power release mechanism moveable between home position, a release position and a double pull position and/or a child lock position, wherein a motor is operable to move the power release mechanism from the home position to the release position and from the home position to the double pull position and/or the child lock position, and wherein an emergency backup mechanism in mechanically coupled communication with the latch mechanism can be mechanically actuated from a non-deployed position to a deployed position to move a pawl from a ratchet holding position to a ratchet releasing position regardless of the position of the power release mechanism, wherein the emergency backup mechanism is prevented from generating rattling noise while in the non-deployed position.

A power latch assembly for a vehicle door of a motor vehicle includes a ratchet configured for movement between striker capture and striker release positions, wherein the ratchet is biased toward the striker release position, and a pawl configured for movement between a ratchet holding position, whereat the pawl maintains the ratchet in the striker capture position, and a ratchet releasing position, whereat the pawl releases the ratchet to the striker release position. A powered actuator is energizable to move the pawl from the ratchet holding position to the ratchet releasing position, wherein a multistage reduction mechanism operably connects an output of the powered actuator to the pawl to provide a first release torque on pawl during normal use and a greater second release torque on pawl during emergency use.
