A seat assembly for an automotive vehicle comprising a seat cushion and a seat back for pivotal movement between an upright seating position and a forwardly dumped position. A recliner mechanism is operatively coupled between the seat cushion and the seat back for selective actuation between a locked and unlocked condition allowing the pivotal movement of the seat back. A seat track assembly is coupled to the seat cushion for selective actuation between a locked and unlocked condition allowing fore and aft sliding movement of the seat assembly between a passenger comfort position and a full forward position. A recliner lockout mechanism is operatively coupled between the recliner mechanism and the seat back for selectively actuating the seat track assembly to the unlocked condition and provide movement of the seat assembly to the full forward position in response to pivotal movement of the seat back to the forwardly dumped position and retaining the seat back in the forward dumped position until the seat assembly is returned to a passenger comfort position and the seat track assembly is actuated to the locked condition.
