Abstract
The present disclosure provides a seat slide-lock system including a seat slide rail having a longitudinal axis and defining at least one detent, and a seat movable along the longitudinal axis of the seat slide rail. The seat includes a seat slide-lock device including a slide handle accessible to a user and movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, a slide pin coupled to the slide handle and movable therewith, and a release switch accessible to the user and movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The slide pin is engageable with the detent in the engaged position, preventing seat movement, and disengaged in the disengaged position, allowing seat movement. The release switch prevents the slide handle and slide pin from moving from the disengaged position toward the engaged position when locked and allows such movement when unlocked.
