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 in the folded up
seat cushion. When the seat is returned to the
passenger position, be sure the head restraints are
installed properly.
On Suburban/Yukon XL models with rear bucket seats,
the head restraints need to be removed in order to fold
the rear seats. To do this follow these directions:
1. Lift the head restraints up until they stop.
2. Press in the button on the side of the head restraint
guide cap and lift up on the head restraint.
3. Do the same for the other cap.
The head restraint can be removed and stored in the
space provided in the folded up seat cushion.

To fold the seatbacks on the bucket seats, do the following:
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. Pull up on the strap loop
located at the rear of the
seat cushion and pull the
seat cushion up. Then
fold it forward.
2. Push the
seatback release
lever rearward
and pull the
seatback forward.
Then fold it until
it is flat.
