Abstract

A motor vehicle closing device having a locking mechanism with a catch; at least one pawl, said catch being latchable in at least one latching position by means of the pawl; a lock holder, wherein the lock holder can be brought into engagement with the catch by means of a relative movement between the closing device and the lock holder, and the locking mechanism can be converted into a latching position; and means for locking the lock holder in a main latching position of the locking mechanism. According to the invention, a holding device is provided. The holding device is used to convert a vehicle part which interacts with the motor vehicle closing device from a closed position into an open position, and the holding device forms at least one part of the means for locking the lock holder.
