Abstract
A slide return mechanism of a seat for a vehicle, the seat including a seat back and a seat base, the slide return mechanism including a recliner that reclines the seat back, a slide release lever that locks and unlocks the movement of a slide mechanism of the seat, and a stopper link. Rotation of the recliner causes the seat back to move downward, the slide release lever to unlock the slide mechanism, and the stopper link to move into position to prevent the seat from traveling in a rearward direction at a predetermined position.
