Reclining Seats (2500/3500 Models)
The recliner handle is located on the outside of the seat
cushion. Pull upward on the handle to release the seat-
back, lean forward or rearward to the desired position.
WARNING!
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.
Only recline in a seat when the vehicle is parked.
