Abstract

A vehicle door handle includes a coupling device having a handle lever movable between a flush position in which the handle lever is flush with an exterior door panel surface, a ready position in which the handle lever is extended and graspable by a user, and an inwards pushed position. The handle lever includes a handle lever shaft rotatively connected to a handle lever base. The vehicle door handle further includes a positioning device, at least one reduction mechanism driven in rotation by an electric motor and driving in rotation the handle lever shaft, and an electronic control unit operable to create a motor short circuit so as to generate a torque resistance on the handle lever.
