Abstract

A seat track assembly for adjusting a seat assembly of a vehicle includes a first track and a second track that is moveable with respect to the first track. The seat track assembly further includes a latch mechanism associated with the second track, and the latch mechanism is operative to inhibit relative movement of the tracks. The latch mechanism includes multiple triggers that are each pivotable between a locked position in which the trigger is engaged with the first track, and an unlocked position in which the trigger is disengaged from the first track.
