Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a valve-control assembly for a vehicle seat that includes a pneumatic control valve configured to control at least one seat adjustment function. A control switch is configured to operate the pneumatic control valve, and a cover structure is arranged to one or more of at least partly cover the pneumatic control valve or at least partly surround the control switch. The control switch includes a first tab, and the cover structure includes a second tab. The first tab is configured to engage the second tab, when the control switch is actuated by a predetermined amount, to secure the control switch against movement and thereby secure the pneumatic control valve in an open configuration.
