Dodge 2008 Dakota - Manual (Page 62)

WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could
cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be
properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust
any seat only while the vehicle is parked.
Reclining Seats
Both the bucket seats and the split-bench seats are
equipped with recliners. The reclining mechanism is
operated by a control located on the outboard side of the
seat. To recline, lean forward slightly before lifting the
lever, then push back to the desired angle and release the
lever. Lean forward and lift the lever to return the
seatback to its normal position.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the
shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and
be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.
