ABSTRACT:
In a motor vehicle rear seat with a divided back rest, the individual back rest parts are connected for pivoting about at least one horizontal pivot axis running horizontally and transversely to the travel direction via an inner hinge arranged in the region of the division plane of the back rest and an outer hinge in the region of the side wall of the motor vehicle on the vehicle body, each hinge having a fastening part on the back rest side and a fastening part on the vehicle body side. To increase the safety of the passengers in the event of a frontal or rear-end collision, the fastening parts are arranged on the outer hinge by means of a hinge joint arranged in a stationary manner on the vehicle body and the fastening parts on the inner hinge at a distance behind the pivot axis relative to the direction of travel and connected with one another by means of a retractable mechanism so that the fastening part on the back rest side upon the pivoting of the back rest part moves in a circular path about the pivot axis.
