It's obvious if you look under the seat. In the middle of the motor is a square hole that the square end of the crank fits. If the motor dies, the theory is that you can wind your seat forwards/backwards in an emergency. In practice you could have walked to where you're going by the time you've moved the seat with the handle.  ;D ;D ;D

Why do they get lost, do they not have a 'place' on a new car?

I've got two of those but the home made one made from an old junior hacksaw is way better, you can fix it in a drill which moves the seat quite quickly ;)

Thinking about it, I have a set of screw driver bits with a range of square bits in it, wonder if one of those fits.... 

Must admit I wondered what on earth a square bit would be used for.  ::)
