Vehicle and method for controlling the same

A release actuator for a vehicle seat includes a spur gear that is rotatable in one direction or in the other direction by receiving rotational force from a motor, and has sliding grooves that are formed in both surfaces of the spur gear and have a predetermined length. A first cable guide is disposed to face one surface of the spur gear and has a protrusion placed in one of the sliding grooves. The first cable guide is connected to a first cable that withdraws a walk-in latch and releases walk-in lock when the first cable is pulled. A second cable guide is disposed to face the other surface of the spur gear, has a protrusion placed in the other sliding groove, and is connected to a second cable that withdraws a folder lock latch and releases folder lock when the second cable is pulled.
