2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab Owner Manual - Page 105

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 103 WARNING! • Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing (dump) forward on manual recliner seats. Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while actuating the handle. The seatback may swing forward and hit you causing injury. This dump feature allows access to the storage bin behind the seat. To avoid injury, place your hand on the seatback and actuate the handle then position the seatback in the desired position. WARNING! (Continued) • You can be seriously, even fatally, injured riding in a seat with the seatback reclined. Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. If you ride in this position, the shoulder harness will no longer be restraining you. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and receive serious or fatal injuries. Recline in a seat only when the vehicle is parked. 3 (Continued) Adjustable Head Restraints Head restraints can reduce the risk of neck injury in the event of a rear impact. Pull up or push down on the restraints so that the upper edge is as high as practical, at least to the level of the ears.
