VEHICLE DOOR OPEN/CLOSE OPERATION APPARATUS

摘要

A vehicle door open/close operation apparatus is provided in which a design cover can be opened by a manual operation and can close at least part of an opening provided in a door, and a latch release is operated by a latch device due to the operation of an operating member in a state in which the design cover is open, wherein displacement of the design cover (24) from a closed position toward an open position is detected by a detection switch (26), and a control unit carries out the user authentication in response to detection of displacement of the design cover (24) by the detection switch (26). This enables the necessity for carrying out an operation of the operating member again to be avoided even if the operating member is operated quickly, thus enabling the door to be opened smoothly.
