Abstract
This device includes a locking component (2) attached to an element of the vehicle, for example, the inner wall of the boot, and penetrating, in locked position, into a window (12) of a second element, for example the folding backrest (1) of a rear seat, to be held in this position by a lock (3). The said second element includes a locking indication aperture (54) and a pivoting lever (5) returned by a spring (56) to a stable position where an end area (59) of the lever, visible in the indication window, indicates absence of locking, the said lever (5) being positioned so as to be moved out of the said stable position by the locking component when the latter is in locked position.
