Getting to Know Your

Cleaning the Ultra Lux
Upholstery
Malibu’s Ultra Lux upholstery fabric is
made of microfiber — one of the most
reliable, durable and luxurious fabrics
available. It is designed to be easily
cleaned and maintained. In most
instances, mild soapy water and a clean
white cloth will remove spills and spots.
For oil and grease spots, sprinkle baking
soda on the spot, and then brush and
wipe with a clean white cloth.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
MAXX Features
Adjusting the Multi-Flex Rear
Sliding Seat
On Malibu MAXX models, the rear seat
can slide forward to allow for more rear
cargo space, or rearward for more
legroom.
To slide the seat forward:
1. Lift the bar under the front of the seat
to unlock it and slide the seat to the
desired position.
2. Release the bar.
On Malibu MAXX, the rear seat can also
recline.
1. Pull up and hold the recliner handle
located on the side of the seat
2. Adjust to the desired position, and
release handle.
See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.
Note:
For vehicles equipped with the
rear seat DVD system, find the molded-
in rib located on the plastic carpet
retainer at the bottom of the left rear
door opening. Keeping the seat rear-
ward of this rib will ensure that the DVD
screen can be fully opened without
interfering with the seat.
Operating the Rear Skylight’s
Retractable Shades
Your vehicle’s rear skylight permits added
light into the rear seating area. The sky-
light’s retractable shades allow rear pas-
sengers to shut out bright sunlight.
To close, pull shade out and, hook T-tab
into the notch in the skylight’s trim.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Front Passenger Seat Storage Pocket
A small storage pocket located on the
inboard side of the front passenger seat-
back (shown below) can be used for
storing smaller items such as pens or
parking passes.
Instrument Panel Storage Bin
A storage bin located on the lower-left
side of your instrument panel is a handy
place to store coins, gum packages and
other smaller items.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
