Abstract
An easy entry seat assembly may include a seat frame having a seat bottom and a backrest supported for pivotal movement relative to the seat bottom. A reclining mechanism may be provided on the seat frame to selectively control pivotal movement of the backrest relative to the seat bottom. A backrest stopper mechanism may be provided on the seat frame. The backrest stopper mechanism may include an easy entry stopper that can be movable from a non-actuated position to an actuated position to stop pivotal movement of the backrest in an easy entry position. An easy entry actuator may be provided on the seat frame, wherein operation of the easy entry actuator can cause movement of the easy entry stopper to the actuated position and release the reclining mechanism.
