Important: The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know about many important aspects of your vehicle’s operation. The message center can provide critical information
to prevent damage to your vehicle. It is important to read your Owner Manual and become familiar with the information that is being relayed to you by the lights, gauges and
indicators, particularly the message center, and what action can be taken to ensure your safety and to prevent damage.
Seats and Mirrors
HEATED FRONT SEATS
Select a heat setting for the seatback only • Press and release the vertical button
(“2” left) until the indicator light shows the desired setting.
This feature allows you to heat the front seatbacks and seat cushions simultaneously or just the seatbacks. Three heat settings are available. The controls are located on the driver and front passenger door panels. Select a heat setting for both the seatback and seat cushion • Press and release the horizontal
button (“1” above) until the indicator light shows the desired setting.
CLIMATE CONTROL SEATS — PLATINUM EDITION With the climate control seats you can choose to heat or cool your seat. The seats will only operate either in the heat or cool mode; for example, you cannot cool the seat cushion while heating the seatback. To operate the climate controlled seats, do the following: • Press the red heat button or the blue
cool button (“1” above).
• Seatback Only: This can only be used for the heat feature. Press this button (“2” left) to heat the seatback and cycle through the heat settings of high, medium, low and off. Red indicator lights will glow for each heat setting chosen: three lights for high, two for medium and one for low. A light in the button will also glow to indicate the seatback heat is on.
• Entire Seat: Press this button (“3” left)
to heat or cool the entire seat and cycle through the settings of high, medium, low and off. Red (for heat) or blue (for cool) indicator lights will glow for each setting chosen: three lights for high, two for medium and one for low.
Note: You may hear a fan running when the climate control seats are turned on. This is normal for the operation of this feature.
Refer to Owner Manual for further information.

strap at the rear of the seat cushion (“1” right) and pull the cushion forward into an upright position.
• Pull the seatback forward so that it folds down into a flat position. The head restraint will automatically fold flat. On ESV only, lift the lever at the base of the seat to release the passenger-side seatback.
Return seat to occupant position • Lift and move the seatback into the
upright position.
• Return the cushion to the seating
position until it latches.
• Pull up on the seat cushion and
forward on the seatback to ensure that they are secure. On Escalade, pull head restraints upright. Ensure that driver-side seat belts are not under the seat cushions.

the bottom-back side of the seat.
• Tilt the seatback toward the front of
the vehicle (the seat will release).
• Pull (or push if exiting the third row with no assistance) the seat forward until it stops.
Fold second row bucket seats • Pull up on the strap loop located at the rear of the seat cushion and pull the seat cushion up and fold it forward.
• Pull the seatback release lever upward and pull the seatback forward and fold it down until it is flat. (Note: On ESV models, you must first remove the headrest and store it on top of the seat cushion.)
• Pull the headrest out from the
seatback and slide the pins into the holes provided on top of the seat cushion.
Create a load floor on ESV models • Release the
load floor panels from the seatbacks by pushing forward on the latches (“1” above).
• Fold the panels back to cover the rear
seat footwell area.
