1. A method for controlling operations of power seats for a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

  • moving a first seat toward a second seat by a first reversible motor;

    causing a seat cushion of said first seat to be tipped up, by a second reversible motor, relative to a seat back of said first seat which stands up;

    sensing loads which are applied to said first and second reversible motors;

    once stopping the driving of said first reversible motor, when excessive load of said first reversible motor is sensed during the movement of said first seat toward said second seat;

    thereafter returning said first seat to a position at which said excessive load of said first reversible motor is not sensed and stopping the movement of said first seat;

    once stopping the tipping-up of said seat cushion, when excessive load of said second reversible motor is sensed during the tipping-up of said seat cushion; and

    thereafter returning said seat cushion to an original posture thereof and stopping the movement of said seat cushion.
