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 or split bench seat,
you can adjust it with this lever located at the front of
the seat.
Lift the lever at the front of the seat 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
in order to make sure the seat is locked into place.

1-6 Heated Front Seats (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has heated
front seats, the ignition
must be in RUN for them
to operate.
The control for the driver's side heated seat is located
on the driver's side door panel. The control for the
passenger's side heated seat is located on the passenger's
side door panel.
To activate the heated seats, press the button once for
the HI heat setting. Press the button again for the LO
heat setting. To turn off the heated seats, press the
button a third time. An indicator light on the button will
illuminate for each heat setting anytime the heated seats
are operating.
The heated front seats will be canceled after the ignition
is turned to OFF. If you still want to use the heated front
seat feature after you restart your vehicle, you will need
to press the heated seat button again.
Reclining Seatbacks
To adjust the front seatback, lift the lever upward.
Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it.
Lift the lever again upward and the seatback will go to
an upright position.
If your vehicle has power seats with a power recliner,
see ªPower Seatsº in the Index for further information
on how to operate the reclining seatback feature.

1-9
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.
On Suburban/Yukon XL models with 60/40 split bench
seats, before folding the rear seat on the driver's side,
insert the two buckles into the retainer in the seatback.
That way, 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.To fold, pull up on the strap
loop at the rear of the seat
cushion. Then, pull the
seat cushion up and fold
it forward.
After folding the seat cushion fully forward, pull the
seatback forward and fold the seatback 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.
On the passenger side of Suburban/Yukon XL models,
the lever at the base of the seat must be rotated rearward
to release the seatback.

1-11
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, rotate 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.
