ABSTRACT:
A manually-adjustable seat assembly for use in motor vehicles is disclosed as having a manual seat adjuster equipped with a seat latch mechanism and an easy entry latch release mechanism. The seat latch mechanism can be manually shifted from a latched mode into an unlatched mode via actuation of a release handle to permit selective adjustment of the fore/aft position of the seat assembly. The east entry latch mechanism is operably connected to the seat latch mechanism and is normally maintained in a non-actuated mode. Pivotal movement of the seatback to a forwardly dumped position causes the easy entry latch release mechanism to be shifted into an actuated mode for causing the seat latch mechanism to be automatically shifted into its unlatched mode. Upon return of the seatback from its formally dumped position, the east entry latch release mechanism is maintained in this non-actuated mode until the seat assembly is slid rearwardly to a predetermined memory position. At this memory position, the easy entry latch release mechanism is automatically shifted back into its non-actuated mode for shifting seat latch mechanism back into its latched mode. Thus, the seat assembly is releasably latched in the memory position.
