The 2nd-row seat mounting bolt tightening sequence on 2017-2020 Acadia, XT5; 2018-2020 Enclave, Traverse; 2019 Blazer; and 2020 XT6 models may not be clear to all technicians in the Service Information based on the illustrations showing the tightening sequence.<\/p>\n

There are four bolts that secure the 2nd-row bucket seats and the 40 percent side of the 60\/40 bench seat. There are five bolts that secure the 60 percent side of the 60\/40 bench seat. The bolt tightening sequence must be followed correctly in order for proper seat installation.<\/p>\n

The current Service Information illustration may not easily identify the correct sequence. (Fig. 11)<\/p>\n

Tightening Sequence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The correct sequence for tightening the 2nd-row seat mounting bolts is (Fig. 12):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inboard rear bolt (or bolts, depending on the seat)<\/li>\n
  2. Outboard rear bolt<\/li>\n
  3. Inboard front bolt<\/li>\n
  4. Outboard front bolt<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    It may be necessary to fold down the seatback to gain access to the rear bolts.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The circled numbers in the Service Information illustration indicate the tightening sequence. (Fig. 13) The sequence is the same for both bucket seats and the 60\/40 seats.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Refer to the appropriate Service Information for the proper torque specification for the applicable vehicle.<\/p>\n
