Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle control module and restraint control module operably coupled to the vehicle control module. A seating assembly is operable between a folded position and an unfolded position. A user-interface includes a microphone. The microphone receives a user command to adjust a seating position of the seating assembly and sends a request signal to the vehicle control module. The vehicle control module controls a seating position adjustment based on a start signal from the restraint control module.
