Buick Enclave: Third Row Seats
WARNING
Using the third row seating position while the second row is folded, or pushed
forward in the entry position, could cause injury in a sudden stop or crash.
Be sure to return the seat to the passenger seating position. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked into place.
Folding the Seatback
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat.
To fold the third row seatback:
1. Remove anything on or under the seat.
2. Disconnect the rear safety belt mini-latch using a key in the slot on the mini-buckle, and let the belt retract into the headliner.
Stow the mini-latch in the holder in the headliner.
3. Pull up on the release lever on the back of the seat.
4. Push the seatback forward to lay flat.
Returning the Seat to the Seating Position
To return the seatback to the seating position:
1. From the rear of the vehicle, raise the seatback to the upright position using the pullstrap on the back of the third row seat, or lift the seatback and push it into place from inside the vehicle.
WARNING
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.
2. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.
WARNING
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.
3. Reconnect the center safety belt mini-latch to the mini-buckle.
Do not let it twist.
4. Pull on the safety belt to be sure the mini-latch is secure.
