German term or phrase: um den doppelten Weg der Sitztiefenänderung korrigiert
Aus einem Vergleich der Berichte wird deutlich, dass die Hebelanordnung beim Ausfahren der Beinauflage die Seillänge bis zur Polsterbezuganbindung um den doppelten Weg der Sitztiefenänderung zwischen dem eingefahrenen und ausgefahrenen Zustand korrigiert um das Verhältnis der Hebellängen der Hebelarme der Hebelanordnung nachführt.

All the words in this segment are clear, but I just cant figure out what the author wishes to say as the grammar is pretty ordinary. The text deals with Nachführungssystem for vehicle seats. The use of the "um" adds to the confusion.

Kindly help. Thanks
