Abstract
A fitting () with a pivoting-forwards mechanism, positioning a backrest () of a vehicle seat () into a forward position, a comfort lock, positioning the backrest into a comfort region seat position (A to C), and an expanded comfort function, positioning the backrest beyond the front position into a loading platform position (E). The fitting includes a fitting part () and a driver (). A pivoting range of the backrest is limited in the forward position by an easy-entry latch () engaging in the fitting part (). The easy-entry latch, when the backrest is adjusted between the seat positions in the comfort region, bears against a stop () mounted on the backrest and, in the forward position, is prevented by the stop from pivoting further forwards, and, when the backrest is set upright from the forward position into one of the seat positions, pivots controlled by the stop.
