Abstract
A vehicle seat having a seat part, a backrest, a kinematics mechanism for transferring the vehicle seat from a use position to a not-in-use position, and back again, and a locking device to lock the kinematics mechanism in the use position. When the locking device is unlocked, the vehicle seat is transferred out of the use position into an access position and the kinematics mechanism is coupled to a drive device by a coupling device. The coupling device has an unlocking swing arm for at least indirectly unlocking the locking device. When in the use position of the vehicle seat, activation of the drive device first unlocks the swing arm to pivot, so that the locking device is unlocked, and it is only following the pivoting movement of the unlocking swing arm that the kinematics mechanism is driven by the drive device to transfer the vehicle seat into the not-in-use position.
