Abstract

The forwardly movable vehicle seat has an underframe including a longitudinal adjusting device that has two pairs of rails, two catch devices and one actuation lever for actuating the catch devices. The vehicle seat further has a seat pan that is carried by the underframe. The seat pan includes a seat back that is pivotal about a seat back axis and on which there is disposed a release lever. In the actuation state, the seat back is unlocked for tilting, the actuation lever being actuated and the catch device unlocked when the seat back is tilted forward so that the seat can be brought from an initial position to a forwardly moved position. There is provided a memory mechanism that ensures that the seat, when being moved back from its forwardly moved position, resumes its initial position.
