1-9 Rear Seats
Utility: The rear seat may have a 60/40 split seat which
may be folded down to give you more cargo space.
The rear seatbacks may be equipped with rearward
folding head restraints. When the seatback is being
folded down, the head restraint will automatically fold
rearward to allow a flat load floor for cargo or entry to
the third row seat (if equipped).
Suburban/Yukon XL: The second row rear seat of
Suburban/Yukon XL models may have a 60/40 split seat
or rear bucket seats. Either side of the rear seat may be
folded down to give you more cargo space.
On both Utility and Suburban/Yukon XL models with
60/40 split bench seats, before folding the rear seat back
down on the driver's side, insert the center occupant lap
belt latch plate into the loop provided on the underside
of the folded forward seat cushion. You may have to
adjust the location of the latch plate on the webbing so
that it reaches the loop. Stowing in this loop will reduce
the chances of damaging and soiling the belt. Remember
to remove the latch plate from the loop before the seat is
returned to the passenger position.
On Suburban/Yukon XL models with rear bucket seats,
the head restraints need to be removed in order to fold
the rear seat. To do this, lift the head restraints up until
they stop. Press in the button on the side of the head
restraint guide cap and lift up on the head restraint.
This will need to be repeated on the other cap.
The head restraint can be removed and stored in the
space provided on the folded up seat cushion.
On Suburban/Yukon XL models with bucket seats,
the seatbacks can be reclined. To adjust the seatback,
pull the lever, located at the base of the back, forward.
Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it.
Pull the lever again and the seatback will go to an
upright position. In order to fold the back of a bucket
seat into a horizontal load floor, the back must be in its
full upright position and not reclined.

Check to see that the buckles on the driver's side
seatback are accessible to the outboard and center
occupant and are not under the seat cushions.
If you have removed the head restraints to fold the rear
bucket seat, be sure to reinstall them on the seatback
after it has been returned to the normal seating position.
Be sure to return the head restraints to the upright
position on utility models.
Entry to the Third Seat
Suburban/Yukon XL: The passenger's side of the
second row 60/40 or rear bucket seats has an easy entry
feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the
third seat, if your vehicle has one.
To operate the easy entry seat, turn the release lever,
located near the back of the seat rearward.
Tilt the seatback toward the front of the vehicle by
pulling the top of the seatback forward.
When you do, the seat bottom will release. Just pull the
seat forward until it stops.
Be sure to return the seat to the passenger position when
finished. Pull forward and push rearward on the seat to
make sure it is locked in place.Folding the Third Seat
Utility: The seatback of the third seat (if equipped) in
utility models also folds down on the floor.
To fold the seatback down,
pull up on the release lever,
labeled 1, located on the
rear of the seatback. Then
push the seatback forward.
To return the seat to the passenger position, pull up
on the release lever labeled 1 and then pull up on the
seatback until it locks into the upright position.
Push forward on the seatback to make sure it is
locked into position.

If still more cargo space is
desired, the third seat can
also be folded and tumbled
forward or removed if
necessary by pulling up on
the release lever labeled 2.
The seat locks into place and does not need to be
removed when carrying cargo. See ªRemoving the
Third Row Seatsº for utility later in this section for
removal instructions.
Suburban/Yukon XL: The seatback of the third seat
(if equipped) in Suburban/Yukon XL models also folds
down to create more cargo space.
To fold the seatback down, pull up on the release lever,
labeled 1, located on the rear of the seatback, then push
the seatback forward.To return the seat to the passenger position, pull up on
the release lever and then pull up on the seatback until it
locks into the upright position. Push forward on the
seatback to make sure it is locked into position.
If still more cargo space is desired, the third seat can
also be folded and tumbled forward by using the lever,
labeled 2. To return the seats to their original position,
reverse the above steps.
Fold and Tilt Feature (Suburban/Yukon XL
Third Seat)
Once the third seatback has been folded down, the
entire seat can be tilted forward to create a flat load
floor. To do this, you will need to enter the rear cargo
area of the vehicle. Make sure the head restraints have
been lowered completely.
With the seat folded, unlatch the seat from the floor by
pulling up on the lever located under the carrying handle
at the rear of the seat labeled 2. Lift the rear of the seat
up, off of the floor. You will not be able to unlatch the
seat from the floor unless the seatback is folded down.
Tilt the seat fully forward and secure it in place using
the support rod located on the underside of the seat,
passenger side. Make sure the support rod pin is fully
engaged in the lock.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for
Children and Small Adults
Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added
safety belt comfort for older children who have
outgrown booster seats and for small adults. When
installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide better
positions the belt away from the neck and head.
There is one guide for each outside passenger position
in the rear seats. To provide added safety belt comfort
for children who have outgrown child restraints and for
smaller adults, the comfort guides may be installed on
the shoulder belts. Here's how to install a comfort guide
and use the safety belt:
Second Row Seat
1. For the second row, remove the guide from its
storage clip on the trim panel near the side of the
seatback. For the third row, remove the guide from
its storage clip on the side of the seatback.
