A motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism that is mounted in a lock case and consists substantially of a rotary latch and a locking pawl. Furthermore, a lock striker that interacts with the locking mechanism is provided, as well as an opener that engages the lock striker during an opening process of an associated motor vehicle door. The opener is acted upon by means of an opening device, at least part of which is integrated in the motor vehicle lock. According to the invention, the opening device is also designed to lift the locking pawl off the rotary latch.
1. A motor vehicle door lock comprising:
a locking mechanism that is mounted in a lock case and that includes a rotary latch and a locking pawl,
a lock striker that interacts with the locking mechanism,
an opener that engages the lock striker during an opening process of an associated motor vehicle door, and
an opening device, wherein the opener is acted upon by the opening device, wherein the opening device also lifts the locking pawl from the rotary latch,
wherein the opening device is configured such that from a closed position of the locking mechanism, the opening device lifts the locking pawl from the rotary latch such that the lock striker is released before the opening device acts on the opener to move the lock striker in an opening direction,
