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.
Power Seats
Horizontal Control: You can adjust your vehicle's front
seats with the horizontal control located on the outboard
edge of each front seat.
Raise or lower the front of the seat by raising or
lowering the forward edge of the control. Raise or lower
the rear of the seat by raising or lowering the rear edge
of the control.
Move the seat forward or rearward by moving the
whole control toward the front or toward the rear of
the vehicle.
Moving the whole control up or down raises or lowers
the entire seat cushion.

1-4 Heated Front Seats
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.
The ignition must be in RUN for this feature to operate.
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.
Your vehicle also has rear heated seats. See the
section on ªRear Heated Seatsº later in this section
for more information.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
Your vehicles front seatbacks have a recline feature.
Vertical Control: You can use the vertical control to
adjust the angle of the seatback. Move the reclining
front seatback rearward or forward by moving the
vertical control toward the rear or toward the front
of the vehicle.

1-6 Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your head. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also.To adjust the tilt for either of the front head restraints,
pull it toward you until you hear a click. There are four
positions available: initial position, first click, second
click and third click. Each position will click into place.
After the third position (three clicks) is reached, pulling
the head restraint farther will release it back to the
upright position.
Pull firmly on the top of the head restraint to position it
to your liking.
The rear seat head restraints in your vehicle are
adjustable. Slide an adjustable head restraint up or down
so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of
your head. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury in a crash.
On some models, the head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.
Rear Seats
60/40 Split Bench Seat (Second Row)
If your vehicle has a 60/40 split bench, the seatbacks can
be reclined (Yukon Denali only) and the seats can be
folded to give you more cargo space.
The Yukon XL Denali 60/40 seats do not recline.

footwell area.Returning the Seats to an Upright Position
To return the seat to the upright position,
do the following:
1. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward all the way.
2. Lower the seat cushion until it latches into position.
3. On Yukon XL Denali models, lift the load floor
panels and latch them into the seatback.
4. Pull forward on the seatback and up on the seat
cushion to make sure the seat is securely in place.
5. Return the head restraints to the upright position.
6. Check to see that the safety belt buckles on

outboard and center occupants and are not under
the seat cushions.

1-10 Bucket Seats (Second Row)
If your vehicle has bucket seats, the seatbacks can be

cargo room.
Reclining the Seatbacks (Bucket Seats)
To recline the seatback, do the following:
1. Pull the lever
located at the
base of the seat
cushion forward.
2. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want
it. Pull the lever again without pushing on the seatback
and the seatback will go to an upright position.Folding the Seatbacks (Bucket Seats)
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.
The seatbacks on the bucket seats may be folded
forward to give you more cargo space. The headrests on
these seats will have to be manually folded to fold the

down and tilt them forward.

1-11

seat cushion and pull the
seat cushion up and fold
it forward.
2. Push the seatback

and 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.

1-24
CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted won't provide the
protection needed in a crash. The person wearing
the belt could be seriously injured. After
installing the seat, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and attached,
and are not twisted.
To replace the bench seat, do the following:
1. While holding the rear of the seat up, slide the front
wheels into the slots on the floor. The front latches
should lock into place. If the latches do not lock, try
tilting the rear of the seat upwards.
2. Once the latches are engaged, let the seat drop into
place. Release the lever labeled 1 to return the
seatback to its upright position.
3. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked
into place. The seatback cannot be raised to the
upright position unless the seat is secured to the floor.
Entering or Exiting the Third Row Seats
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.
