Check to see that the buckles on the driver's side seatback are accessible to the outboard and center occupant and are not under the seat cushions. If you have removed the head restraints to fold the rear bucket seat, be sure to reinstall them on the seatback after it has been returned to the normal seating position. Be sure to return the head restraints to the upright position on utility models. Entry to the Third Seat Suburban/Yukon XL: The passenger's side of the second row 60/40 or rear bucket seats has an easy entry feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the third seat, if your vehicle has one. To operate the easy entry seat, turn the release lever, located near the back of the seat rearward. 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. Be sure to return the seat to the passenger position when finished. Pull forward and push rearward on the seat to make sure it is locked in place. Folding the Third Seat Utility: The seatback of the third seat (if equipped) in utility models also folds down on the floor. To fold the seatback down, pull up on the release lever, labeled 1, located on the rear of the seatback. Then push the seatback forward. To return the seat to the passenger position, pull up on the release lever labeled 1 and then pull up on the seatback until it locks into the upright position. Push forward on the seatback to make sure it is locked into position. 1-11
