A mechanical handle switch assembly ( 14 ) ("switch assembly") is provided for actuating a vehicle-based system ( 12 ). The switch assembly ( 14 ) includes a door handle mechanism ( 28 ), which is coupled to a vehicle door ( 26 ) and utilized for actuation by a user. This door handle mechanism ( 28 ) is movable a predetermined travel distance, which includes a switch-triggering distance for actuating the vehicle-based system ( 12 ) and an unlatching distance for unlatching the vehicle door ( 26 ). The door handle mechanism ( 28 ) is coupled to a drive train mechanism ( 34 ) and utilized for actuating the drive train mechanism ( 34 ). The drive train mechanism ( 34 ) is operatively coupled to a switch device ( 18 ) for selectively closing the switch device ( 18 ) and actuating the vehicle-based system ( 12 ). |
