GMC 1996 Suburban Owner's Manual page 20

To create a load floor,
release the panels from the
seatback by pushing
rearward on the latch and
fold them out to cover the
rear seat footwell.
To
return the seat to the passenger position, lift the load
floor panels and latch them into the seatback.
Then, lift the seatback up and push rearward until
it
latches. Return head restraints to their original position
and lower the seat cushion until it latches in position.
After returning the seat to the passenger position, pull
forward on the seatback and up on the seat cushion to
make sure the seat is locked in place. Also, pull the
safety belt buckles out of the seat cushion pockets, so
they will be available for rear seat passengers to use.
A seat that isn't locked into place properly can
move around in
a
collision or sudden stop. People
in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock
the seat into place properly when
-1
it.
A safety belt that is twisted or not properly
attached 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 not
twisted and are properly attached.
