Abstract: A motor vehicle seat includes a backrest frame having a cutout in its side area for the passage of the side air bag. The cutout is closed off to the front by a bridge plate and the edges of the cutout are bordered by a panel. The panel is made of legs having a two-cheek construction, with an inner and an outer cheek. The outer cheeks reach over the cutout edges and the inner cheeks project inwardly The panel has a C-shape and, in the installed position, is open toward the bridge plate. The ends of the upper and lower inner cheeks of the panel are bent toward one another and thus form guiding surfaces for the air bag housing.

Abstract: The invention concerns an exhaust silencer arrangement with a transverse exhaust silencer in a four-chamber type of construction, in particular for very small passenger-transporting motor vehicles, with a 3-cylinder rear-mounted engine and an exhaust gas turbocharger. The silencer comprises a housing which is composed of two half shells and accommodates a catalyst module in an integrated manner. The catalyst module, which does not have its own housing, forms a silencer system partition which divides the silencer into a 3-pot main chamber and an additional chamber which is in particular a resonator chamber and communicates with the main chamber via connection ducts formed in the half-shell housing.
