ABSTRACT:
A motor-vehicle door latch for use on a vehicle door having a handle and an inside locking element has a housing, a latch fork pivotal on the housing and engageable in a locking position with a door bolt to retain same and lock the door, an actuating lever pivoted on the housing and connected to the handle, a release pawl operatively engageable with the fork to release same from the locking position, and a link displaceable between a position coupling the actuating lever to the release pawl for displacement of the fork out of the locking position by actuation of the actuating lever and a position decoupling the actuating lever from the release pawl. Thus in the decoupling position actuation of the actuating lever will not unlock the door. A central actuator for the latch includes an actuator in the latch displaceable into an antitheft position, and a coupling having one side connected to the inside locking element and an opposite side connected to the link for coupling the link to the inside locking element for movement thereby between its positions except when the actuator is in the antitheft position of the actuator.
