FOOTREST SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

DRIVE March 6, 2013
Source
A vehicle footrest system is obtained that allows an occupant seated in a rear seat to brace their feet when a footrest section is employed during travel, and that is capable of inhibiting load from concentrating at the heels of an occupant. A footrest system (38) is provided with: a reclining device (40) that rotates an upper end part side of a seatback (22) in the direction of arrow A and holds it at a predetermined angle of rotation; and a slide device (50) that slides a front seat (16) in the direction of arrow B with respect to a vehicle body floor (14). When an occupant (5) seated in a rear seat (18) uses a footrest portion (48) of the seatback (22), the reclining device (40) is operated and the upper end part side of the seatback (22) is inclined toward the vehicle front side. Further, the slide device (50) is operated and a slide portion (54) of a seat cushion (20) is moved in a vehicle front-rear direction along a rail portion (52). In this state, feet (5A) can be placed at the footrest portion (48).
