Abstract
A fitting () for a vehicle seat is provided having a seat part and a backrest. The fitting includes a first fitting part (), a second fitting part () in geared connection with the first fitting part () for a relative rolling for adjusting the inclination of the backrest between several use positions, a drive motor for driving the relative rolling, a third fitting part () for manually free-pivoting of the backrest into a non-use position, the third fitting part () being releasable locked with a detent element (), and a first coupling element () and a second coupling element () between the third fitting part () and the detent element (). The first coupling element () and the second coupling element () are inactive in the normal case and become active in the misuse case, when the third fitting part () is unlocked and the backrest is in the non-use position and the drive motor is moving the detent element () backwards.
