An automotive seat assembly includes a manual system to slide the seat assembly from a seating position to a pitch easy entry position. The seat assembly includes a power return device to automatically return the seat assembly from the pitch easy-entry position back to the seating position wherein the power return device may be a module that may be added onto an existing seat assembly having manual pitch easy-entry features. The power return device is disengaged during forward slide and pitch of the seat assembly to the easy-entry position, but may then be actuated to control the return slide and return pitch of the seat assembly rearwardly to the seating position. If either the return slide feature or rearward pitch, feature is blocked or obstructed, the power return device disengages the obstructed feature and allows the remaining unobstructed feature to continue operating to complete the return slide or return pitch until such time as the blockage or obstruction is removed or the power return device is disengaged.
