If still more cargo space is desired, the third seat can also be folded and tumbled forward or removed if necessary by pulling up on the release lever labeled 2. To return the seat to the passenger position, pull up on the release lever 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. If still more cargo space is desired, the third seat can also be folded and tumbled forward by using the lever, labeled 2. To return the seats to their original position, reverse the above steps. Fold and Tilt Feature (Suburban/Yukon XL Third Seat) The seat locks into place and does not need to be removed when carrying cargo. See "Removing the Third Row Seats" for utility later in this section for removal instructions. Suburban/Yukon XL: The seatback of the third seat (if equipped) in Suburban/Yukon XL models also folds down to create more cargo space. 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. Once the third seatback has been folded down, the entire seat can be tilted forward to create a flat load floor. To do this, you will need to enter the rear cargo area of the vehicle. Make sure the head restraints have been lowered completely. With the seat folded, unlatch the seat from the floor by pulling up on the lever located under the carrying handle at the rear of the seat labeled 2. Lift the rear of the seat up, off of the floor. You will not be able to unlatch the seat from the floor unless the seatback is folded down. Tilt the seat fully forward and secure it in place using the support rod located on the underside of the seat, passenger side. Make sure the support rod pin is fully engaged in the lock. 1-12
