Disclosure is an actuating mechanism (1) for actuating a cover or flap (2) of a vehicle. The cover or flap (2) is manually reversibly movable between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the cover or flap (2) is arranged flush with a vehicle outer shell (3), and in the open position the cover or flap (2) is arranged at least partially or regionally behind the vehicle outer shell (3). The actuating mechanism (1) includes a movement mechanism (3) operatively connected to the cover or flap (2) that, when transferring the cover or flap (2) from its closed position into its open position, first transfer the cover or flap (2) into an intermediate position in which the cover or flap (2) is located at least partially or regionally behind the vehicle outer shell (3) and then transfer the cover or flap (2) into its open position in an at least substantially and preferably purely rotational movement. According to the disclosure, it is provided in particular that the actuating mechanism (1) further includes a spring mechanism that is associated with the articulation mechanism (3) or is part of the articulation mechanism (3). The spring mechanism is configured so as to, when transferring the cover or flap (2) from its closed position into its open position or when transferring the cover or flap (2) from its open position into its closed position, apply a force component to the articulation mechanism (3) that supports the transfer of the cover or flap (2) at least into its open position or closed position.
