Abstract
A car seat includes a first heater, a second heater, and a control unit which controls an output to the first heater and an output to the second heater. The control unit executes a temperature-difference adjustment control, in which the output of the second heater is controlled such that the temperature of the bulging portion heated by the second heater with respect to the temperature of the seating surface portion heated by the first heater is made lower when an ambient temperature is a first temperature than when the ambient temperature is a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature.
Claims8
A seat comprising:
- a main heater;
- a sub-heater that is disposed at a position farther from a seating surface portion of a seat cushion, than the main heater;
- a physique detector configured to detect a physique of an occupant seated in the seat;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an output of the main heater and an output of the sub-heater,
- wherein the control unit reduces at least a partial output of the sub heater when the physique of the occupant detected by the physique detector is smaller than a standard than when the physique of the occupant detected by the physique detector is not smaller than the standard.
