GMC Terrain: Front Seats / Folding Seatback
The front passenger seatback
folds flat.
Warning
If you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even death. Secure objects away
from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? and
Vehicle Load Limits.
Warning
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving.
To fold the seatback:
- Lower the head restraint all the
way. See Head Restraints.
- Move the seat as far back as
possible. See Seat Adjustment.

- Lift the lever fully and fold the
seatback forward.
If necessary, move the seat
belt out of the way to access
the lever.
- Continue lowering the seatback
until it is completely folded and
locks in place.
To raise the seatback:
- Lift the lever fully to unlock the
seatback. Then, raise the
seatback and push it rearward
until it re-engages.
- Push and pull on the seatback
to make sure it is locked in
place.
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.
Warning
If temperature change or pain to
the skin cannot be felt, the seat
heater may cause burns. To
reduce the risk of burns, use care
when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of
time...
