A method of controlling the position of a front seat having an unbelted rearmost position forward of a belted rearmost position within a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining if a seatbelt associated with the front seat is fastened and allowing movement of the front seat rearward of the unbelted rearmost position if the seatbelt is fastened. Alternately, movement of the front seat rearward of the unbelted rearmost position is prevented if the seatbelt is not fastened. The front seat may be either a driver seat or a passenger seat. A vehicle apparatus operable to carry out the disclosed method is also provided.
