Folding the Seatbacks
(60/40 Split Bench Seat)
The rear seat may have a 60/40 split seat which may be
folded down to create a load floor and give you more
cargo space. On the Escalade, the rear seatbacks
are equipped with rearward folding head restraints.
When the seatback is being folded down, the head
restraint will automatically fold rearward.
To fold the rear seat, do the following:
1. Make sure that nothing is under or in front of
the seat.
2. Pull up on the strap
loop located at the rear
of the seat cushion
and flip the seat
cushion forward.
3. Escalade: Pull the seatback forward and fold it
down until it is flat.
Escalade ESV: On the passenger side of
Escalade ESV models, the lever at the base of the
seat must be pulled up to release the seatback.
Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until
it is flat.
If the seatback cannot fold flat because it interferes with
the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or
bringing the front seatback more upright.
