Abstract

A rear seat system for a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger car, has at least one backrest which can be folded from an upright operating position into an approximately horizontal depositing position and has an operating part which releases the backrest locking. Three-point seat belts are provided for the occupants of the rear seat system. In the deposited condition, the belt strap extends close to the vehicle side panel and in the process is situated in the swivel area of the backrest. When the backrest is folded up, the belt strap will not be clamped in between the backrest and the vehicle side panel because the operating part is also used as a guiding part for the adjoining belt strap of the deposited three-point seat belt.
