A seat assembly for use with a vehicle having a vehicle body includes a
seat bottom that is configured to be pivotably mounted to the vehicle
body, a seat back pivotally connected to the seat bottom, a seat back
latch associated with the seat back for inhibiting movement of the seat
back with respect to the seat bottom, and an automatic stow arrangement
for moving the seat bottom and seat back from a use position to a stowed
position. The stow arrangement is associated with the seat back latch and
is configured to release the seat back latch to allow the seat back to
pivot in a first direction toward the seat bottom. The stow arrangement
is further configured to pivot the seat bottom and seat back in a second
direction opposite the first direction to the stowed position.
