Abstract
The invention relates to an access system in which an access authorization that can be disposed of outside of the vehicle communicates with identification means located inside the vehicle. If the identification means respond, control means which operate a door lock ( ) from a door handle ( ) are transferred out of their inoperative position into an operative position. To this end, the door handle ( ) can move between three different positions ( ). In the first position, the door handle ( ) is located in a retracted position ( ), which cannot be grasped by the human hand, but rather is streamlined. Only when the door handle ( ) is in a protruding extended position ( ) is the latter possible. The door handle is then manually displaced into a third protracted position in which the door lock ( ) is opened. According to the invention, this mode of operation is ensured by an actuator ( ) configured, for example, as an eccentric.
