Abstract: A seat assembly that includes a seat bottom, a seat back, and a pivot mount for pivotally connecting the seat back to the seat bottom. The seat assembly further includes a guide member attaching the pivot mount to the vehicle, a leg link pivotally attaching the seat bottom to the vehicle, and an arm link pivotally attaching to the seat back to the vehicle. The leg link, the arm link, and the guide member all cooperate to guide the pivot mount, and hence the seat bottom and the seat back, in a downward and rearward direction from the in-use position to the stored position. Since the seat bottom moves in a downward direction from the in-use position to the stored position, the seat assembly forms a flat, uniform cargo area for increased cargo capabilities.
