ABSTRACT:
In a motor vehicle, there are arranged abreast first and second seats. Each seat includes a seat cushion, a seatback pivotally connected to the seat cushion, and a power reclining device for pivoting the seatback to a desired angular position. A load transmitting center structure is mounted on the vehicle floor between the first and second seats. A manual switch is used which, when operated, pivots the seatback of the second seat to a desired angular position. At least the second seat has a reinforcing structure installed therein. The reinforcing structure exhibits the maximum performance in cooperation with the load transmitting center structure when the seatback of the second seat is within a given angular range. A computer-aided control device is used, which limits the angular position of the seatback of the second seat to the given angular range when the second seat carries thereon a seat occupant, and pivots the seatback of the second seat to an angular position coincident with that taken by the seatback of the first seat when the second seat carries thereon no seat occupant.
