Abstract

A motor vehicle seat (1) includes a rear foot (2), a backrest (3), pivotable relative to the rear foot (2) about a backrest rotational axis (A), and a longitudinally adjusting seat rail pair (4). A seat rail locking device (6) locks the seat rail pair (4). A lockable fitting allows the backrest (3) to pivot into an easy-entry position for rear access. An annular drive element (18) is rotatably mounted about the backrest rotational axis (A). The drive element has a latch (24) that is caught by a driver (26), arranged on the backrest (3), when the backrest (3) is pivoted into the easy-entry position, whereby the backrest can subsequently be carried along. An actuation lever (22) acts on the latch (24) such that the latch (24) is not caught by the driver (26) when the backrest (3) is pivoted, and the backrest can be pivoted beyond the easy-entry position.
