VEHICLE SEAT
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a longitudinally adjustable and rotatable vehicle seat which seat comprises a first upper rail movably guided in a first lower rail, a second upper rail movably guided in a second lower rail, a first motor for driving the first upper rail, a second motor for driving the second upper rail and a seat shell wherein by means of an aligned displacement of the upper rails relative to the lower rails the seat shell is displaced in a straight line and wherein by means of a displacement of the first upper rail relative to the second upper rail the seat shell undergoes a rotation about a vertical axis, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing an initial position, of the seat shell;
displacing the seat shell in a straight line from the initial position into a starting position;
rotating the seat shell, by a first angle, from the starting position into an intermediate position;
displacing the seat shell in a straight line in the direction of travel into a first central position; and
rotating the seat shell by a second angle into an end position.

Abstract
A method is provided for controlling a longitudinally adjustable and rotatable vehicle seat with upper rails guided in lower rails, motors for respectively driving the upper rails and a seat shell. An aligned displacement of the upper rails relative to the lower rails displaces the seat shell in a straight line. A displacement of the first upper rail relative to the second upper rail rotates the seat shell about a vertical axis. An initial position is stored. The seat shell is moved in a straight line out of the initial position into a starting position. From the starting position the seat shell is rotated by a first angle into an intermediate position. The seat shell is moved in a straight line in the direction of travel into a first central position. The seat shell is rotated by a second angle into an end position.

11. A longitudinally adjustable and rotatable vehicle seat control method comprising:
-
providing a vehicle seat comprising a first upper rail movably guided in a first lower rail, a second upper rail movably guided in a second lower rail, a first motor for driving the first upper rail, a second motor for driving the second upper rail and a seat shell, wherein by means of an aligned displacement of the upper rails relative to the lower rails the seat shell is displaced in a straight line and wherein by means of a displacement of the first upper rail relative to the second upper rail the seat shell undergoes a rotation about a vertical axis, with the seat shell in an initial position; storing the initial position of the seat shell; displacing the seat shell is displaced in a straight line from the initial position into a starting position; rotating the seat shell, by a first angle, from the starting position into an intermediate position; displacing the seat shell in a straight line in the direction of travel into a first central position; and rotating the seat shell by a second angle into an end position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
