Abstract: The invention relates to a release device for a rear seat backrest component part (1) of a vehicle seat, comprising a housing (9) to attach to the foldable rear seat backrest component (1), a handle (16) connected to a transfer means (22) and designed to be actuated by the user, and a warning indicator (20), including an indicator area (36) to indicate the unlocked state of a lock (5) in a pushed-forward position. In order to ensure good manageability and clearly visible indication of the unlocked position, it is designed that housing (9) has a steering area (12) and warning indicator (20) has a guiding curve (44) for contact to steering area (12); that handle (16) is pivotably mounted in housing (9) and exhibits a guide (19), in which warning indicator (20) is movably guided and preloaded by a spring (38) in an upper position of its displacement path, which position is determined at least in one portion of the pivot area of handle (16) by the contact of guiding curve (44) to steering area (12).
