Entering or Exiting the Third Row Seats
Escalade: To enter the third row seat, you must fold the second row seat down following the instructions later in this section. See "Folding the Seatback" under 60/40 Split Bench Seat . To exit the third row seat with no assistance, do the following:- Reach over the second row seat and pull up on the strap loop located in the center of the seat where the seatback and the seat cushion meet. Then pull the seat cushion up and push it forward.
- Next, push the seatback forward until it is flat with the floor.
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.
Escalade ESV: The passenger's side of the second row 60/40 or rear bucket seat has an easy entry/exit feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the third row seat.To operate the easy entry seat, do the following:
- Lift the release lever on the back of the seat.
- Tilt the seatback toward the front of the vehicle and the seat will release.
- Pull (push if you are exiting the third row with no assistance) the seat forward until it stops.
Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.
Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.
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.
