Abstract
A seated-state detection sensor is disposed in a seat portion of a seat cushion of a passenger seat. The seated-state detection sensor is divided into three parts, that is, a first seated-state detection sensor, a second seated-state detection sensor and a third seated-state detection sensor, which are arranged in this order from the rear side of the vehicle. The first seated-state detection sensor and the second seated-state detection sensor are designed to determine whether or not there is a passenger seated. The second seated-state detection sensor and the third seated-state detection sensor are designed to detect forward displacement of the passenger.
