A motor vehicle seat has a base element which can be fastened in the motor vehicle, a seat element which is disposed on the base element, and a backrest element which is disposed on the seat element. The seat can be adjusted between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the seat element and the backrest element can be used for normal sitting. In the unlocked position, the seat element and/or the backrest element are adjusted in the vehicle to the front with respect to the driving direction far enough so that a space arranged behind the seat with respect to the driving direction is accessible for loading and unloading. For adjustment between the locked position and the unlocked position, the seat element is swivellably disposed on the base element and/or the backrest element is swivellably disposed on the seat element. In order to reduce stress on the seat during a restoring movement from the unlocked position to the locked position, damper devices are provided in order to counteract the restoring movement at least during its end phase.

Vehicle seat

A motor vehicle has at least one vehicle occupant seat arranged laterally of a side member. The vehicle occupant seat is arranged on seat rails which extend in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and are fixedly connected by way of a seat underframe with a vehicle floor. The side member and the seat rail adjoining the side member have mutually assigned safety devices which are arranged at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The safety devices can be brought into an operative connection with one another such that the seat rail and the side member are connected by way of the safety devices during high dynamic stressing of the vehicle occupant seat and/or of the side member.

Motor vehicle having a vehicle seat

A vehicle seat has a seat frame which is arranged in a vertically adjustable manner above a seat underframe. A backrest part is mounted on the seat frame, and a seat cushion carrying part, for adjusting the seat cushion depth, is displaceably disposed by an end area in two guides. The other end area of the seat cushion carrying part is supported by two additional guides. The additional guides are supported by way of a supporting construction past the seat frame directly on the seat underframe.
