Folding the Seatbacks
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.
On all models with 60/40 split bench seats, you must
insert the center occupant lap belt latch plate into the
loop provided, on the underside of the folded forward
seat cushion, before folding the rear seat back down on
the driver’s side.
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 insert the two buckles into
the retainer in the seatback, before folding the rear
seat on the driver’s side. The buckles will be out of
the way when the seat is folded and will be available
for passengers to use when the seat is returned to the
passenger position. Also, make sure that nothing is
under or in front of the seat and that the head restraints
are completely lowered.
On Tahoe/Yukon models 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).
