Folding the Seatbacks
If the seatbacn m ' t locked, it could mlude
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.
Make sure that nothing is under or in front of the seat
and that the head restraints are completely lowered.
On TahoeNukon models the rear seatbacks may
be 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).
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 seat forward
and/or bring the front seatback more upright. On the
passenger side of the SuburbanNukon XL models, the
lever at the base of the seat must be turned rearward
to release the seatback.
