Abstract
A method is provided for managing the operation of a seat equipped with an actuator system including an arrangement for tracking a variable characteristic of the force generated by an actuator and a unit for controlling the actuator in two opposite directions. The method provides for measurement of the characteristic variable, evaluation of the characteristic variable on the basis of at least one predetermined evaluation criterion, and implementation of a suitable adjustment of the seat as a function of the result of the evaluation. The evaluation step includes applying a first evaluation criterion of the characteristic variable measured when the actuator is controlled in the first direction and applying a second evaluation criterion of the characteristic variable measured when the actuator is controlled in the second direction, the first and second evaluation criteria being different.
