Abstract
A track release system for a vehicle seat includes a device for selectively engaging a track to prevent sliding movement of a vehicle seat, a cable coupled to the device, and a track release mechanism coupled to the cable for actuating the device. The track release mechanism includes a drive arm configured for movement between a first position and a second position. The drive arm is configured to cause the device to disengage the track when moved from the first position to the second position. The track release mechanism also includes a trigger arm configured for rotational movement and configured to cause the device to engage the track when the drive arm is in the second position. The trigger arm is configured to reset the track release system such that sliding movement of the vehicle seat is prevented when the drive arm is in the second position.
