Abstract: A vehicle comprises a seating assembly attached to a floor having a seat that is rotationally operable relative to a seatback. A collapsible assembly is attached to the floor and the seat. When the seat is pivoted upright to a stadium position, the collapsible assembly is selectively deployable from a collapsed configuration to a cargo storage configuration. The cargo storage configuration defines a rigid enclosure at least partially defined by the seat and the floor.

Abstract: An airbag system includes an airbag. The airbag system includes a base defining a track extending from a first end to a second end. The airbag system includes a carrier releasably fixed to the base and removable from the base at the second end. The airbag system includes a tether extending from the carrier and secured to the airbag. The airbag system includes a spring disposed at the first end. The spring is disposed between the carrier and the base. Upon application of a force to the carrier, e.g., via the tether when the airbag is inflated, the carrier is released from the base and compresses the spring. Upon removal of the force, the spring urges the carrier toward the second end where the carrier is ejected.

Abstract: A seating assembly includes a seat operable between a lateral use position and a vertical storage position. A mattress is disposed below the seat when the seat is in the lateral use position and held in place by securing features. The mattress is operable between an inflated condition and a deflated condition.

Abstract: A seating assembly includes a seat. A seatback is rotatably coupled with the seat to a fully reclined position. A rear seat lift device includes a mechanism disposed below a cushion support proximate a rear portion of the seat and is operable between a lowered position and a raised position. A rear portion of the seat is elevated relative to the seatback to minimize a height difference between the rear portion of the seat and a bottom portion of the seatback when the seatback is in the fully reclined position.

Abstract: A seating assembly includes a seatback. A seat is operably coupled with the seatback. A calf support is rotatably coupled with the seat. A first bladder assembly is disposed behind the calf support and is configured to rotate the calf support outward approximately 90 degrees from a design position to a deployed position. An extension is rotatably coupled with the calf support. A second bladder assembly is disposed between the calf support and the extension and is configured to rotate the extension from a stored position to a support position.
