Claim 0:
1. A seating system for a vehicle, the seating system comprising, from the front to the rear of the vehicle,
a first seat of a first row,
a second seat of a second row, and
a third seat in a third row,
wherein the first seat, second seat, and third seat are located one behind the other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the second seat being provided with a mechanism configured to cause, at least in an easy entry mode, the transition of the second seat from a position of use configured to receive an occupant, to an advanced position of non-use configured to facilitate lateral access to the third seat of the third row, under the action of a motor controlled by a control device, and
wherein the second seat carries an object resting on a seating portion or a backrest of the second seat, and
wherein the control device, upon receiving a command to transition the second seat from the position of use to the advanced position of non-use, causes
motorized actuation of the second seat from the position of use with a view to moving it into the advanced position of non-use, and motorized advancement of the first seat from a current position to a position advanced towards the front of the vehicle, and
limitation of the amplitude of the kinematics of the mechanism of the second seat with a stopping of the motor of the second seat upon the control device detecting a squeezing representative of an indirect contact between the first seat and the second seat via a squeezing of the object, in an advanced intermediate position of non-use of the second seat configured to facilitate access to the third seat.
