Abstract
The invention relates to a system for longitudinal positioning of a vehicle seat, including an electrical automatic device for displacing the seat part of the seat forwards when the backrest of the seat is folded down, and backwards as far as a previously set position when the backrest is brought upright again. The automatic device includes a slider which can move longitudinally, a sensor for detecting a position known as the locking position of the slider relative to the seat part, a lock for securing the slider and the seat part in this position, a circuit-breaker for stopping the action of the automatic device in the event where the latter is displacing the seat part backwards and where the locking position is detected, the lock and the circuit-breaker being neutralized when the backrest is folded down.
