Abstract
A device for actuating a seat element includes an actuator fitted with a transducer delivering a state information representative of the current position of the actuator and a unit for controlling the actuator which includes a device for registering and for storing several reference state informations each representative of a position of the actuator for an identified position of the element and a device for driving the actuator so as to move the seat element towards several target positions. The control unit is adapted so as, when a movement towards a predetermined target position is commanded, to activate the actuator until the current reference state information delivered by the transducer is equal to the reference state information stored for the position of the commanded element.
