Abstract
A vehicle anti-theft system for an automotive vehicle positions the driver seat of the vehicle in an undriveable position. The system includes a seat having a seat back and a seat base both of which have a fore and aft position. A first motor is operatively coupled to the seat back for moving the seat back between the fore and aft position. A second motor is operatively coupled to the seat base for moving the seat base between the fore and aft position. An input device generates an activation signal. A controller is connected to the first motor, the second motor, the input device and a power source. The controller upon receiving the activation signal connects the power source to the first motor and second motor whereby the first motor moves the seat back to the fore position and the second motor moves the seat base to the fore position.
