1-8 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.
Rear Seats
CAUTION:
If a head restraint is not installed on the seatback
or stored in the vehicle properly, it could be
thrown about the vehicle in a crash or sudden
maneuver. People in the vehicle could be injured.
Remove the head restraints only when you need
to fold the seat, and be sure that the head
restraints are stored securely in the space
provided on the folded up seat cushion. When the
seat is returned to the passenger position, be sure
the head restraints are installed properly.
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 are 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 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.
