Claim:
1. An apparatus for controlling air cells of a seat, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of air cells situated on opposing sides of the seat and configured to support a passenger seated on the seat; at least one pressure sensor configured to measure internal pressures of the air cells; and a control unit configured to receive the measured pressures of the air cells and to compare and store at least one measured pressure of the air cells when a startup of the vehicle is off, and wherein when the startup is on, the control unit is configured to control an expansion of the air cells by a same degree as any one of the measured pressures of the air cells which are previously compared and/or stored in the control unit when the startup is off, wherein when the startup is on, the control unit is configured to control the expansion of the air cells depending on a low pressure among the measured pressures of the air cells, and wherein the control unit is configured to store only the lowest pressure of the air cells among the measured pressures.
