Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle seat with at least one laterally positioned operating device for operating the vehicle seat functions and/or vehicle functions and an adjustment device for adjusting a vertical position and/or an inclination of the at least one operating device with respect to a rest of the vehicle seat, wherein the adjustment device comprises a rotational axis extending in the seat width direction and a shaft which is connected to the operating device, positioned at a distance from the rotational axis and rotatable together with the operating device about the rotational axis, wherein the adjustment of the vertical position and/or of the inclination of the operating device is feasible by means of a rotational movement of a spindle element which is in operative contact with the shaft, wherein a central axis of the spindle element is perpendicular to a central axis of the shaft.
