A switch group for the remote control of a vehicle seat adjustable via actuating drives, having two switching elements, which symbolize a seat cushion and a backrest of the vehicle seat, are held in a position relative to one another which corresponds to the use position of the seat, and are arranged so as to be accessible from above on a bearing surface which the user of the seat can reach. The switching element symbolizing the seat cushion is mounted on a horizontal surface portion of the bearing surface. To make the switch group highly suitable for expansion by additional control functions, the bearing surface for the switch group merges behind the switching element symbolizing the seat cushion into a surface portion angled obliquely upwards. The switching element symbolizing the backrest is mounted on the angled surface portion of the bearing surface separately from the associated switching element and a free space for operation sufficient for grasping the switching elements at the sides is present on both sides next to the switch group.

In order to bring about a single-handed actuation during the insertion operation of the buckle latch into a belt buckle arranged recessed in its non-use position in a pocket of a seat part, the pocket is lined by a shell and the shell is provided with a guide surface along which slides the emplaced buckle latch in the direction of the receiving funnel of the belt buckle. The guide surface may be provided with a guide groove for the positionally correct latch guidance. However, also a push button may extend therethrough whereby the stroke movement produced by actuation by the belt latch is transmitted onto the belt buckle by means of a transmission device.
