ABSTRACT:
The seat assembly comprises a seat cushion (12) and a seat back (14). A recliner assembly (16) operatively interconnects the seat cushion and the seat back for selective locking and adjustment of the seat back between a plurality of reclined seating positions (B) and a stowed position (D). A stop (40) is pivotally mounted to the seat cushion for movement between first and second positions. The stop includes a hook (44) presented for engagement with the seat back when the stop is in the second position for maintaining the seat back in a tilted position (G) between the plurality of reclined seating positions (B) and the stowed position (D). When the stop (40) is in the first position, the seat back may be adjusted between the plurality of reclined seating positions (B. A track assembly (18) extends between the seat assembly and the vehicle for selective locking and adjustment of the seat assembly within vehicle between a plurality of fore and aft seating positions (E) and an easy entry position (F) forward of the seating positions (E). The stop (46) is operatively interconnected (48) to the track assembly (18) for locking and unlocking the track assembly during rotation of the stop (40) between the first and second positions, respectively.
