Abstract
A controller in a vehicle seat system is configured to execute a first pivot control to cause the second seatback to pivot at a first pivoting speed, a second pivot control to cause the second seatback to pivot at a second pivoting speed that is greater than the first pivoting speed, and a first determination process to determine, during execution of a tilt control, whether the second seatback will interfere with the first seatback. If the controller determines, during execution of the tilt control, that the second seatback will interfere with the first seatback, then the controller causes the first seatback to pivot and executes the first pivot control in at least a part of a pivoting process of the second seatback.
