Abstract

A seat assembly (24) is mounted to a seat cushion assembly (22) for movement between an operative position and a forwardly dumped access position generally overlying the seat cushion assembly (22). A fixed track assembly (36, 42) movably supports a movable track assembly (45, 46) carrying the seat cushion assembly (22) for movement between a forward access position and a rearward position. A releasable track locking assembly (56, 57) is movable between a track locking position and a track releasing position for allowing adjustment of the movable track assembly (45, 46) between fore and aft positions with respect to the fixed track assembly (36, 42). A memory track (76) is fixed with respect to the fixed track assembly (36, 42) and a memory slide (78) is fixed with respect to the memory track (76). A slide block (100) is slidably supported by the memory slide (78). A memory latch (98) is supported by a slide block (100) and is movable between a memory position and an adjustment position.
