1. A door actuating apparatus comprising:

  • an engagement mechanism selectively achieving an engaged state and a disengaged state, the engagement mechanism configured to achieve the engaged state where a door that is rotatably supported by a vehicle body is retained at a full close position, the engagement mechanism configured to achieve the disengaged state where the door is not retained at the full close position;

    an operating portion configured to be operated for rotating the door that is at the full close position outward relative to a vehicle interior, the operating portion outputting a signal for rotating the door;

    a control unit receiving the signal from the operating portion, the control unit actuating an actuator in response to the signal;

    an engagement member configured to be retained by the vehicle body and configured to engage with the door, the engagement member advancing and retracting relative to the door in accordance with rotation of the door; and

    a door opening mechanism operating by actuation of the actuator,the door opening mechanism shifting a state of the engagement mechanism from the engaged state to the disengaged state by engaging with the engagement mechanism that is in the engaged state,the door opening mechanism engaging with the engagement member configured to rotate the door from the full close position to a predetermined rotational position positioned between the full close position and a full open position,the door opening mechanism separating from the engagement member configured to allow the door to rotate in a vehicle exterior direction relative to a rotational position of the door corresponding to an operational position of the door opening mechanism in a state where an external force rotating the door in the vehicle exterior direction is exerted on the door in a case where the engagement mechanism is in the disengaged state.
