MOTOR VEHICLE

A height-adjustable seat includes a seat part having a frame and a back part. At pivot lever is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis for height adjustment of the seat by a pivoting movement of the pivot lever. A movable connecting member is connected to the pivot lever by a first pivot lever joint so that a movement of the connecting member causes a pivoting movement of the pivot lever about the pivot axis. An actuating member moves the connecting member with a gear wheel. A movable transmission member having teeth transmits a force from the gear wheel to the connecting member. The gear wheel meshes with the teeth of the transmission members, which is in mechanical operative connection to the connecting member so that a movement of the transmission member causes movement of the connecting member. The connecting member is mounted to a base part and subjected to a compression load.
