The heating elements of a seat heater are used to warm the occupant seated on the seat and also used to detect the occupant. The configuration eliminates the need to dispose, in the vicinity of the seating surface of the seat, both a heater unit used for warming the occupant and a sensor for detecting the occupant. As a result, the structure of the seat is simplified to prevent deterioration in seating comfort, and at the same time, the occupant can be accurately detected and the heating elements can be efficiently utilized.
