Abstract: An electric-motor adjustment device for an automobile seat with a direct-current (DC) motor positioned in an electrical circuit whose rotation direction may be reversed, and which motor includes a drive wheel that drives an adjustable drive element for an adjustable seating area, is connected in series with additional electronic components. These additional components include a linear resistor and a current blocking device operating in only one current-flow direction, which are wired together in parallel and then the combination in series with the DC motor. This has the result that, in a first current-flow direction, the current flows through the DC motor to drive it in the first rotation direction, and through the linear resistor. In the opposing second current-flow direction, the current flows through the DC motor to drive it in the second rotation direction, and essentially through the blocking device which does not block the current flow in this direction and which bridges the linear resistor.
