1. A slide rail for a motor vehicle seat, the slide rail comprising:
a first profile, a second profile and an interior space which extends in a longitudinal direction, the interior space extending between the first profile and the second profile, the second profile being movable relative to the first profile in the longitudinal direction in a first direction as far as a first end position and in a second direction as far as a second end position,
rolling elements which are arranged in the interior space and configured to guide the movement of the second profile relative to the first profile in the longitudinal direction, and
a runner which is arranged in the interior space and holds the second profile relative to the first profile in a support direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the runner having a first contact surface extending next to the first profile and a second contact surface extending next to the second profile,
wherein the runner is selectively connected to the first profile or the second profile in translation in the longitudinal direction, the slide rail comprises a coupling device having a first state, in which the runner is connected to the first profile in translation in the longitudinal direction, and a second state, in which the runner is connected to the second profile in translation in the longitudinal direction, the coupling device is in the first state between an intermediate position and the first end position, and the coupling device is in the second state between the intermediate position and the second end position.
