ABSTRACT:
An adjusting mechanism for a vehicle seat back provides for recliner adjustment of the seat back, rotation of the seat back to a forward dump easy entry position and rotation of the seat back to a fold flat position for storage. In the fold flat position, the seat back is locked in place. A single actuating handle is operated to adjust the recline position of the seat and to rotate the seat back to the fold flat position. A second handle is actuated to rotate the seat back to the forward dump position in which the seat back is unlocked. Upon return of the seat back from the dump position, the seat back locks in the previously adjusted recline position. A lock out is provided to prevent release of the recliner when the seat back is in the forward dump position.
