A positioning system is provided for moving a seat back in a vehicle between a seating position and a cargo storage position. The positioning system includes a release mechanism actuatable between a first position to permit movement of the seat back and a second position to prevent movement of the seat back. A first actuator is provided on the seat back near an upper corner of the seat back and a second actuator is provided on the seat back near a lower corner of the seat back, so that the seat back can be moved from the cargo storage position to the seating position by a person actuating the first actuator from a location alongside the vehicle and by a person actuating the second actuator from a location behind the vehicle

A track system for coupling a seat having a seat cushion within a vehicle includes a first track arrangement, a second track arrangement, a motor, and a gear box. The first track arrangement is configured to be coupled to the seat cushion and the vehicle. The second track arrangement is configured to be coupled to the seat cushion and the vehicle so that the second track arrangement is parallel to and spaced apart from the first track arrangement. The motor is coupled to the first track arrangement and the second track arrangement and comprises a first output that includes an axis of rotation generally parallel to the first track arrangement. The gear box is operably coupled to the first output of the motor, the first track arrangement, and the second track arrangement. The first track arrangement and the second track arrangement are configured to adjust the position of the seat cushion within the vehicle when the motor is operated. Each of the motor and the gear box are located closer to the first track arrangement than to the second track arrangement.

A damper is arranged between the seat backrest and the seat base. This damper applies a resistance to seat backrest movement, especially movement from the vertical position to the folded position. The damper includes a pin and profile mounted on the seat backrest and seat base respectively, or vice versa. The pin and profile slide against each other during movement of the seat backrest relative to the seat base. The shape, size, material, and/or the surface characteristics of the pin and profile determine the resistance to movement of the seat backrest. These parameters of the pin and profile can be varied, especially along different portions of the profile to apply the desired resistance at different angular positions of the seat backrest with respect to the seat base.
