yellowblue On Suburban models, 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. If the latch plate portion of the center safety belt was put in the center armrest when the seat was folded, take the latch plate portion out and place it on the seat. That way, the center position safety belt will be available for the center rear seat passenger to use. Entry to the Rear Seat (Suburban Second Seat) The right side of the rear 60/40 split folding bench seat has an easy entry feature. That makes it easy to get in and out of the third seat, if you have one. To operate the seat, move the lever at the side of the seat down. Tilt the seatback toward the front of the vehicle by pulling the top of the seatback forward. When you do, the seat bottom will release. Just pull the seat forward until it stops. To return the seat to the passenger position on a Suburban, lift the load floor panels and latch them into the seatback. On both models, remove the head restraints by sliding them out of the seat cushion. Lift the seatback up and push rearward all the way. Then, lower the seat cushion until it latches in position. After returning the seat to the passenger position, return the head restraints to the top of the seatback. Pull forward on the seatback and up on the seat cushion to make sure that the seat is securely in place. 1-11
