CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can't do their job when
you're reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it
won't be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
The front seatback of the base level bench seat folds
forward to let you access the rear of the cab. Your
seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you
come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock into place.
If you have a Crew Cab, your front seatback is designed
not to fold forward. Access to the rear of the cab is
available by using the rear doors.
The front seatback of split bench seat and bucket seats
fold forward to let you access the rear of the cab.
