Abstract

A switch arrangement for adjusting different positional parameters of a motor-vehicle seat, such as, for example, inclination of the backrest, inclination and depth of the cushion, inclination of the arm rests, etc, which can be operated in a particularly convenient and intuitively reliable manner. The switch arrangements relate the relative position of different parts of the motor-vehicle seat transversely to the longitudinal direction to the position of the control elements within a control panel. The switch arrangement can particularly advantageously be fitted at the hand-supporting end of an arm rest.
