Abstract

A vehicle seat includes a seat back having a foot massage system. The seat back includes a front side and rear side, the rear side receiving the foot massage system. The foot massage system is configured to pivot around an axis that is fixed relative to the seat back between a first in-use position, wherein the massage system pivots down to receive a passenger's feet, and a second folded-away position wherein the massage system is retracted along the backrest rear side. The foot massage system includes a registration area for guiding the passenger's foot to proper massage position and can be equipped with a pressure detection system having pressure sensors that, when pressed, allow the foot massage system to work.
