Claim:
1. A method for controlling a longitudinally adjustable and rotatable vehicle seat which seat comprises a first upper rail movably guided in a first lower rail, a second upper rail movably guided in a second lower rail, a seat shell, a first motor for driving the first upper rail and a second motor for driving the second upper rail wherein by means of an aligned displacement of the upper rails relative to the lower rails the seat shell is displaced in a straight line and by means of a displacement of the first upper rail relative to the second upper rail the seat shell undergoes a rotation about a vertical axis, the method comprising the steps of: displacing the seat shell rearwardly in a straight line from an initial position into a starting position by moving the first upper rail via the first motor and moving the second upper rail via the second motor; rotating the seat shell, by a first angle, from the starting position into an intermediate position by moving the first upper rail via the first motor to provide a rotated seat shell; displacing the rotated seat shell in a straight line forwardly in the direction of travel into a first central position by moving the first upper rail via the first motor and moving the second upper rail via the second motor wherein during displacing the rotated seat shell in a straight line forwardly, the seat shell remains in a rotated orientation; and rotating the rotated seat shell by a second angle into an end position by at least moving the first upper rail via the first motor.
