Abstract

A longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat (I) has, on both sides, a first seat rail (2) fixed to the seat and a second seat rail (3) which guides the first seat rail and is fixed to the vehicle structure. A locking device (4) releaseably locks the seat longitudinal position by securing the first seat rail (2) in the second seat rail (3). A lever (5) is provided that can be pivoted about a pivot axis (S) and has two actuating ends (6) that interact with the locking devices (4). At least one of the actuating ends (6) is spanned by a sub region of a multifunctional part (8). The part (8) both forms a kick plate and also limits the movement of the actuating end (6) upward and therefore forms a safeguard against erroneous operation of the lever (5).
