Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them and fold them up and down. It also tells you about
reclining front seatbacks and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver's seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you
don't want to. Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
If your vehicle has a manual
bucket, split bench or full
bench seat, you can adjust it
with this lever at the front
of the seat.
Slide the lever at the front of the seat toward the
passenger's side to unlock it. Using your body, slide the
seat to where you want it. Then, release the lever and try
to move the seat with your body to make sure the seat is
locked into place.

1-4 Heated Front Seats (If Equipped)
The control for the driver's side heated seat is located on
the left side of the seat. The control for the right front
passenger is located on the right side of the passenger's
seat. Move the switch forward to MED or HIGH
temperature to turn on the heating elements in the seat.
The right front passenger's safety belt must be buckled
before the heating elements in that seat will operate.
To turn the heated seats off, move the switch rearward
to OFF.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, move the lever rearward.
Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it.
Move the lever again rearward and the seatback will go
to an upright position.

yellowblue
1-6 Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches (2-Door Utility)
CAUTION:
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
The front seatback folds forward to let you access the
rear of the vehicle.
To fold a seatback forward,
pull this lever forward and
tilt the seatback forward.
To return the seatback to the upright position, just push
the seatback rearward until it latches.
After returning the seatback to its upright position, pull
the seatback forward to make sure it is locked.

1-7 Easy Entry Seat (2-Door Utility)
CAUTION:
If any easy entry seat isn't locked, it can move. In
a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting there
could be injured. And, even if there is no crash or
sudden stop, a driver sitting in an unlocked easy
entry seat could be startled by the sudden
movement and hit the wrong control or pedal,
causing an accident. After you've used it, be sure
to push rearward on any easy entry seat to be
sure it is locked.
The driver and passenger front bucket seat and the 60/40
split bench seat of your vehicle have an easy entry
feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the
rear seat. On vehicles equipped with the power driver's
seat, only the passenger's front seat will have the easy
entry feature.
To operate the seat, pull
forward on the top of the
lever located at the side of
the seatback, and tilt the
seatback forward toward
the front of the vehicle.
When you do, the seat bottom will release. Just pull or
push the seat forward until it stops.
To return the seat to its regular position, return the
seatback to its upright position, then push the whole seat
rearward until it latches.
After returning the seat to its regular position, try to
move the seat with your body, to make sure the seat is
locked into place.

To fold the seat, pull on the release handle at the bottom
of the seat cushion marked RELEASE.When you release the seat cushion, the seatback is
automatically released. Pull the loop on the seatback
forward and fold the seatback onto the seat cushion.
To return the seat to the passenger position, just lift up
on the seatback and push it rearward until it latches.
After returning the seat to the passenger position, pull
forward on the seatback to make sure it is locked into
place. Also, return the safety belts and head restraints to
their original positions, so they will be available for rear
seat passengers to use.

There is a foot-operated
release lever for rear seat
passengers to use when
getting out of the third seat.
To release the easy entry second seat, lift up on the
top of the release lever with your foot. Push the top
of the seatback forward and tilt it toward the front of
the vehicle.
To return the seat to its regular position, return the
seatback to its upright position, then push the whole seat
rearward until it latches.
After returning the seat to its regular position, try to
move the seat with your body, to make sure the seat is
locked into place.Removing the Rear (Suburban Third Seat)
If your vehicle has a third seat, it can be taken out for
more cargo space.
Before removing the seat, unlatch the outside passenger
position safety belts from the seat frame.
To unlatch the safety belt,
press the tip of a key into
the release hole of the
safety belt attachment
while pulling up on the
safety belt.

Then, hang the latch plate
end of the belt on the hook
at the top of the retractor
cover, out of the way.
To remove the seat, fully open the rear load doors and
enter the back of the vehicle.
Move the seatback release
lever, at the right rear of the
seat, toward the center of
the vehicle.
Then, fold the seatback forward into the seat cushion.
To unlatch the seat from the
floor, pull up on the center
release handle at the rear of
the seat and lift the rear seat
up, off of the floor.
Turn the seat sideways and take it out of the vehicle.
Replacing the Rear Seat
CAUTION:
A seat that isn't locked into place properly can
move around in a collision or sudden stop. People
in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock
the seat into place properly when installing it.

yellowblue
1-14
CAUTION:
A safety belt that is twisted or not properly
attached won't provide the protection needed in a
crash. The person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After installing the seat, always
check to be sure that the safety belts are not
twisted and are properly attached.
To put the seat back in, hold the seat sideways and put it
into the vehicle. Turn the seat to the forward position
and set it down, with the latches at the bottom of the seat
over the hooks in the floor. Pull up on the center release
handle and let the seat drop into place. Release the
handle to let the seat latch close and make sure it locks
into place. Then, move the seatback release lever at the
right rear of the seat toward the center of the vehicle and
raise the seatback.
After returning the seatback to the upright position, push
the seatback forward to make sure it is locked into place.
Then, return the outside passenger position safety belts
to the seat frame buckles, so they will be available for
rear seat passengers to use.
Safety Belts: They're for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells you some things you should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the air bag system.
CAUTION:
Don't let anyone ride where he or she can't wear
a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and
you're not wearing a safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same crash, you might
not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your passengers' belts
are fastened properly too.

How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety
belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies. If a child will be riding in your
vehicle, see the part of this manual called ªChildren.º
Follow those rules for everyone's protection.
First, you'll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We'll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver's restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see ªSeatsº in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn't long enough, see ªSafety Belt
Extenderº at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
