Abstract
A motor vehicle seat slideway has an unlocking lever pivotally mounted on the moving rail of the slideway and urged towards a rest position, a cable connecting said lever to the seat back to unlock the slideway when the seat back is tilted down forwards, and a trigger pivotally mounted on the moving rail to pivot between a blocking position in which it holds the lever in its actuated position and a retracted position enabling the lever to return to its rest position. The trigger is urged resiliently towards its blocking position, and it also includes an actuator finger which, on coming into contact with an abutment secured to the stationary rail of the slideway, moves the trigger towards its retracted position.
