Control system for vehicle equipment

摘要

In order to provide a seat control which can automatically move a drivers seat and ancillary equipment (e.g. steering wheel) from a set of preselected driving positions to a retracted status in the least disconcerting manner, one of operations (e.g. the steering column tilting operation) is used as a standard for terminating the movement of all of the other movements toward given retracted positions upon the selected operation finishing. Even though the movement of the seat toward its most rearward position may not have been fully completed, the upward tilting of the steering column (viz., the movement incurred with the selected operation) in combination with what rearward movement of the seat has been possible during the tilting, opens up a space sufficient for the driver to easily ingress and egress and positively ensures that all of the various movements terminate simultaneously.
