Abstract
An adjustable memory track assembly for a vehicle seat has a lower rail () adapted to be secured relative to a vehicle frame, and an upper rail () adapted to support the seat for fore/aft sliding movement relative to the lower rail (). The adjustable memory track assembly () also has a track lock assembly () operable via a first actuator () between a locked, engaged state wherein relative movement between the lower () and upper rails () is resisted, and an unlocked, disengaged state wherein the seat can be slid to and then locked in a user-selected position. The adjustable memory track assembly () is characterized in that the memory module () is provided with a blocking element to prevent rearward movement of the seat past the user-selected position independent of the locking state of the track lock assembly ().
