Also provided is a locking mechanism (1, 2) which consists substantially of a rotary latch (1) and a pawl (2). Further, a sensor (7) associated with the rotary latch (1) is provided, as well as a drive unit (3, 4, 5, 6) that indirectly or directly acts upon the pawl (2), the drive unit (3, 4, 5, 6) being controlled according to signals of the sensor (7).
