Abstract
Vehicle seat has at least a front foot, a rear foot, a four-link configuration having four link parts coupled to one another via hinge points, and a compensation spring. Front foot and rear foot are accommodated in a longitudinal rail in a longitudinally adjustable manner, and the rear foot is releasable from the longitudinal rail after unlocking. Vehicle seat is movable forward from a seating position having a locked rear foot, after rear foot is unlocked, into a functional position with adjustment of four-link configuration, and with at least temporary assistance from the compensation spring. Vehicle seat has a locking apparatus which automatically locks or clamps together at least two link parts of the four-link configuration in order to compensate for production-related tolerances. Four link parts may include a seat part, a backrest part, a receiving part, and a coupling rocker.
