GMC Terrain: Rear Seats / Folding the Seatback
Either side of the seatback can be
folded for more cargo space. Fold a
seatback only when the vehicle is
not moving.
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the seat
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the seat
belts. Always unbuckle the seat
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.
To fold the seatback:
- Fold the head restraint. See
Head Restraints.

- Pull the handle on top of the
seatback to unlock it.
A tab near the seatback lever
raises when the seatback is
unlocked.
- Fold the seatback forward.

- Stow the seat belt in the belt
stowage clip.
Repeat the steps to fold the
other seatback, if desired.

If equipped, the rear seatbacks can
also be folded forward by pulling the
levers on the passenger side of the
rear cargo area.
To recline the seatback:
Pull the reclining seatback
handle.
Move the seatback to the
desired position, and then
release the handle to lock the
seatback 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...
Other information:
Driving on steep hills or through
mountains is different than driving
on flat or rolling terrain. Tips include:
Keep the vehicle serviced and in
good shape.
Check all fluid levels and brakes,
tires, cooling system, and
transmission.
Shift to a lower gear when going
down steep or long hills...
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
Press and hold –SET until the
desired lower speed is reached,
then release it.
To slow down in small
increments, briefly press –SET.
For each press, the vehicle goes
about 1 km/h (1 mph) slower...
