The backrest 42 of the intermediate seat 4 can be turned backward relative to its cushion 41 so that the backrest and the cushion are put in flush contact with each other. The backrest 52 of the rear seat 5 coupled to the step-like surface 2a of the floor 2 by short links 8 can be turned forward to the cushion 51 of the seat so that the seat is folded.
