Abstract

A motor vehicle seat having a sitting position and a backrest, which can be converted out of a sitting position into a cargo position in which they are essentially disposed in a common horizontal plane. The seat has a first arresting device for the sitting position of the backrest, a second arresting device for the sitting position of the sitting portion, and a third arresting device. The sitting portion and the backrest are biased into their cargo position, wherein after release of the first arresting device the backrest is pivoted in a direction toward the cargo position, against the third arresting device, and into a stand-by position, as a result of which the second arresting device is released and the sitting portion pivots into the cargo position, as a consequence of which the third arresting device is released and the backrest pivots out of the stand-by position into the cargo position.
