ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat mounting assembly includes a locking device mounted on an upper track that moves relative to a lower track. The mounting device includes a plurality of locking pawls that engage one or more slots on the lower track so that the upper track, and the seat, are maintained in a fixed position relative to the lower track. The locking device includes a first release bracket for disengaging the locking device and adjusting the position of the seat. Activation of the first release bracket causes simultaneous movement of a seat position indicator. The seat position indicator remains stationary relative to the lower track in the event that a second release bracket is used to disengage the locking device. When the second release bracket is used, the position indicator serves to provide for automatic repositioning of the seat into its last position before activation of the second release lever. The locking device further includes a plurality of locking pawls that are dimensioned and spaced in a preselected order corresponding to dimensions and spacings of slots in the lower track so that at least one of the locking pawls engages at least one slot in the lower track at all times that the locking device is in a locking position.
