If your vehicle has bucket seats, the seatbacks can be reclined and the seats can be folded to give you more cargo room.

To recline the seatback, do the following:

   Pull up the lever located under the seat cushion.

2. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it. Pull the lever again without pushing on the seatback and the seatback will go to an upright position.

The seatbacks on the bucket seats may be folded forward to give you more cargo space.

To fold the seatbacks on the bucket seats, do the following:

1. Pull up on the strap loop located in the center of the seat where the seatback meets the seat cushion. Pull the seat cushion up and fold it forward.

3. Pull the seatback release lever upward and pull the seatback up and fold it down until it is flat.

If the seatback cannot fold flat because it interferes with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.

On Yukon XL Denali models, once the seatbacks are folded down, the rear seat footwell area will be exposed and will have to be covered by the load floor panel. To create a load floor, do the following:

1. Release the panels from the seatbacks by pushing forward on the latches.
2. Then fold the panels back to cover the rear seat footwell area.

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.

To return the seatbacks to the upright position, do the following:

1. On Yukon XL Denali models, lift the load floor panels and latch them into the seatback.
2. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward all the way. On Yukon XL Denali models, return the headrest from the top of the seat cushion where it was stored to the seatback.
3. Lower the seat cushion until it latches into position.
4. On Yukon Denali models, return the headrests to the upright position.
5. Pull forward on the seatback and up on the seat cushion to make sure the seat is securely in place.
