A vehicle seat includes a first hinge rotatably supporting a left seatback framework and a second hinge rotatably supporting a center seatback framework. The first hinge includes a first base bracket and a first hinge bracket continuous to the first bracket, and the second hinge includes a second base bracket and a second hinge bracket continuous to the second base bracket. Each of the first hinge and the second hinge has a frame bracket coupled to the corresponding seatback framework and a shaft about which the hinge rotates. An urging member is wound on the shaft. A joining part joins a distal end of the first hinge bracket of the first hinge to a distal end of the second hinge bracket of the second hinge.

The control section of a control apparatus executes a first control for operating a voltage application section such as to cause a current to flow in a first direction through a gas sensor in a first period, and a second control for operating the voltage application section such as to cause a current to flow in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, through the gas sensor in a second period. The control apparatus changes the length of at least one of the first period and the second period based on a comparison between a first measurement value, which is the absolute value of a value measured by a sweep measurement section during execution of the first control, and a second measurement value, which is the absolute value of a value measured by the sweep measurement section during execution of the second control.
