How to adjust the second row of the GL8?
2 Answers
There are buttons on the side of the second-row seats of the Buick GL8 for adjustment. Press the buttons to adjust the seat forward or backward—pressing the front moves the seat forward, while pressing the rear moves it backward. The armrests of the rear seats can be adjusted by pulling them manually. Below are the methods for folding down the seats: There is a pull ring under each side of the rear seats; pulling them by hand allows you to fold down the respective rear seats, thereby increasing trunk space. The proportional folding feature divides the backrest of the rear seats proportionally, enabling you to fold down either side as needed to meet the requirements for increased trunk storage space and rear passenger seating.
A few days ago, I drove my friend's GL8 to drop the kids off at school, and the manual second-row seat adjustment was actually quite convenient. Just hold the pull ring on the outer side of the seat and lift it up, then you can slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. The floor rail design is very smooth—even a child can pull it. For the backrest angle, there's a handle on the inner side of the seat; a gentle pull lets you recline comfortably. The top trim with electric adjustment is even more hassle-free—just press the button on the side of the armrest, and the seat automatically moves forward and reclines, with the leg rest extending out. Oh, and remember to tidy up the kids' stuff before adjusting—once, a snack wrapper got stuck in the rail, and it took me half an hour to clean it out. When taking kids out, setting the seat to the middle position is safest: too far forward affects the car seat space, and too far back lets them easily dirty the front seatback with their feet.
