Abstract
A vehicle seating assembly includes a track assembly disposed on a vehicle floor. The track assembly includes a rail slidably disposed in a track and a positioning bracket fixedly coupled to the track. A lift mechanism is coupled to a pivot bracket disposed on the rail and is configured to rotate the seat frame between sitting and standing positions. A lever assembly is rotatably coupled to the lift mechanism, rotatable about a seat axis of rotation, and movable along the positioning bracket as the rail slides in the track. A release mechanism is operably coupled to the lift mechanism and the track assembly. The release mechanism may fix the rail relative to the track or release the rail from the track.
