Abstract

A motor vehicle seat. The seat has a seat frame; a seat back pivotally mounted on the seat frame and which can be tilted forward out of its position of use and toward a seat surface of the seat frame; a longitudinal guide with which the seat frame is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the seat in order to adjust the longitudinal position of the seat; a fixing device for fixing the seat frame in a previously adjusted longitudinal position of the seat, an actuating element for releasing the fixing device thereby enabling the seat frame to be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the seat, a coupling mechanism, which acts upon the actuating element and releases the fixing device when the seat back is tilted forward toward the seat surface, and a memory device by means of which the seat frame can be automatically held in a preset longitudinal position of the seat, which is defined as a memory position.
