Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the inclination of a rear seat of a vehicle is described, of the type comprising an electromechanical linkage which is able to translationally move in one direction or the other the seat cushion assembly to which the back-rest is hinged, to thus vary the inclination of this latter, and first electrical control means for said linkage. The main characteristic of the present invention is that it comprises second electrical means which, when a door of the vehicle is opened, cause said cushion assembly to translate from the position which it assumed before the opening, to a withdrawn end-of-travel position in which the back-rest is lesserly inclined.
