But don’t  have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. 
A 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.

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.
