A vehicle seat including a foldable seat kinematic which has a backrest part and a seat part, the seat kinematic being adjustable between a normal position and a folded-forward functional position, the seat kinematic being manually foldable from the normal position into the functional position, a motor, an activating system which is adapted to be driven by the motor between a deactivated position and an activated position, a connecting rod provided between the activating system and the seat kinematic. The seat kinematic is movable from the functional position into the normal position by the activating system and the connecting rod when the motor is actuated so as to drive the activating system from the deactivated position to the activated position, the activating system being configured to not interfere with the seat kinematic when the activating system is in the deactivated position.

A support mechanism for a vehicle seating assembly includes a seat frame moveable between a sitting position and a standing position and a support bracket coupled to a vehicle floor. A linkage assembly extends between the support bracket and the seat frame. The linkage assembly is positionable between a collapsed position if the seat frame is in the sitting position and an extended position if the seat frame is in the standing position and includes a first end rotatably coupled to the support bracket and a second end slidably coupled to the seat frame. A pawl assembly is engageable with the linkage assembly and positionable in an unlocked position if the linkage assembly is in the collapsed position and a locked position if the linkage assembly is in the extended position.

A seat assembly includes a track assembly having a swivel mechanism slideably supported along the track assembly. A base frame is supported on the swivel mechanism between forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations. A seatback is pivotally coupled to the base frame by a recliner mechanism. A seat portion is pivotally coupled to the base frame and includes a front edge. The seat portion is operable between first and second positions, such that the front edge of the seat portion defines a forward-most portion of the seat assembly when the seat portion is in the first position. Further, the front edge of the seat portion is vertically juxtaposed over the base frame when the seat portion is in the second position.

A rear seat assembly is provided. The rear seat assembly includes a seat frame, a seat back, a seat cushion frame, and a power tilt assembly. The seat cushion frame is pivotally coupled to the seat frame at a tip up pivot axis to move between a seated position and a tip up position such that in the tip up position, the seat cushion frame is pivoted towards the seat back in a generally vehicle vertical position. The power tilt assembly is coupled to the seat cushion frame and is configured to adjust an angle of a seat cushion with respect to a vehicle floor.

A seat cushion tilting apparatus may include a fold-and-dive seat for vehicles in which tilting of a seat cushion is independently adjusted regardless of the position of a seat back, and thus, a passenger may realize a desired relaxation posture, where both reclining of the seat back of the fold-and-dive seat and tilting of the seat cushion, in which the front end portion of the seat cushion is raised or lowered regardless of the reclining position of the seat back, are enabled, and thus, body pressure may be easily distributed to the passenger's hips and thighs and fatigue to the passenger's lower body may be reduced.

A multi-functional door for a vehicle includes a door body disposed on one side of the vehicle and configured to be opened or closed. The door body has an inner side surface facing an indoor space of the vehicle and an outer side surface facing the outside of the vehicle. The multi-functional door further includes a door seat that is coupled to the inner side surface of the door body and is configured to be enclosed in or unfolded from the door body.

An auxiliary member attachment structure for a vehicle seat. The auxiliary member attachment structure includes an auxiliary member at an outer side of the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat has a seat cushion that is capable of transitioning from a seating position to a storage position aligned with a seat back. The auxiliary member being rotatable, about a shaft in the vehicle seat extending along the seat width direction, between a reference position at which the auxiliary member is upright and a holding position at which the auxiliary member is rotated closer to a front side of a vehicle. The auxiliary member attachment structure further includes a rotation restriction unit configured to restrict rotation of the auxiliary member at the reference position when the seat cushion is at the seating position, and cease the restriction of rotation of the auxiliary member when the seat cushion is at the storage position.

A vehicle seat including a foldable seat kinematic which has a backrest part and a seat part, the seat kinematic being adjustable between a normal position and a folded-forward functional position, the seat kinematic being manually foldable from the normal position into the functional position, a motor , an activating system which is adapted to be driven by the motor between a deactivated position and an activated position, a connecting rod provided between the activating system and the seat kinematic. The seat kinematic is movable from the functional position into the normal position by the activating system and the connecting rod when the motor is actuated so as to drive the activating system from the deactivated position to the activated position, the activating system being configured to not interfere with the seat kinematic when the activating system is in the deactivated position.

A latch assembly for a vehicle seating assembly includes a support plate having an arm. The arm defines a receiving well. A retention member is coupled with the support plate. A latch member is operably coupled with a seat base frame and the arm of the support plate. The latch member is selectively engaged with the retention member. A release assembly is operably coupled with the latch member. The release assembly includes a latch link coupled with the latch member at a first end. A rod link is rotatably coupled with a second end of the latch link and is fixedly coupled with a torque rod. Movement of the first end of the latch link toward a front of the seat base frame is configured to rotate the latch member and the torque rod.
