Abstract

A vehicle seat comprises a backrest, an active headrest, a release device, and an energy store. During normal operating situations of the vehicle seat the energy store is blocked. During an accident, particularly a rear-end accident, the energy store is released for actuation of the active headrest. The energy store is arranged in the active headrest or in the backrest. The backrest includes an actuating device, and a transmission device is arranged between the actuating device and the active headrest.
