Embodiment Construction

[0033] Figure 1A and Figure 1B A seat control device 1 for configuring adjustable parameters of a power seat 2 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in .

[0034] Figure 1C A vehicle V comprising a plurality of seat control devices 1 is schematically shown in . Each seat control device 1 is associated with one power seat 2 in the vehicle V. As shown in FIG. The functionality of each seat control device 1 can be adapted to the configurable parameters of the associated power seat 2 . In particular, one or more control functions of the seat control device 1 may be enabled or disabled depending on the functionality of the associated power seat 2 .

[0035] The seat control device 1 will be described herein by way of example with reference to a single seat of the power seats 2 , that is, the power seat 2 located in the right-hand position at the rear of the vehicle V. FIG. Such as image 3 As shown in , the seat control device 1 is installed vertically in the...

Abstract

The present application relates to a seat control apparatus (1) for configuring a vehicle power seat (2). The seat control apparatus (1) has an operating member (12) for cycling through a plurality of control modes (R1 -6). The control modes (R1 -6) are each associated with at least one configurable seat parameter. The operating member (12) is operable to select one of the control modes (R1 -6) and to adjust the at least one configurable seat parameter associated with the selected control mode (R1 -6). The present application also relates to a seat control apparatus (1) coupled to a vehicle power seat (2); and to a vehicle (V) incorporating one or more said seat control apparatus (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to seat controls, and in particular, but not exclusively, to an apparatus for controlling a powered seat of a vehicle and a vehicle seat coupled to the seat control. The present disclosure also relates to vehicles including one or more seat controls. Background technique [0002] It is known to provide vehicles with powered seats (also called electric seats) comprising a series of electric motors to configure the seats. Typically a switch assembly comprising a plurality of mechanical switches is provided to control the electric motor. As vehicle power seats include more and more configuration operations, more and more complex switch assemblies are required to control the electric motor. Due to the large number of possible control operations, the user finds seat adjustment complex and confusing. This is further complicated if the switch is not visible in normal use, for example if the switch assembly is mounted to the ba...
