Abstract

A seat control apparatus for adjusting a seat mounted on a vehicle by moving various parts constituting the seat comprises a switch provided on the vehicle for detecting whether a door positioned adjacent to the seat is opened or closed and a controller for producing control signals in dependence on the output of the switch. When an opened state of the door is detected, control for rotating the seat is allowed. Upon detection of the closed state of the door, the control for rotating the seat is inhibited.
