rear entertainment CHEVROLET MALIBU 2005 5.G Owners Manual

Rear Sliding Seat (MAXX Only)
If your vehicle is the MAXX model your rear seat will
slide forward or rearward to allow more cargo space in
the rear.
Lift the bar located under the front of the seat to unlock
the seat. Slide the seat to where you want it and
release the bar. Try to move the seat back and forth to
be sure the seat is locked in place.
If your vehicle has the rear seat entertainment system,
the rear seat should only be moved forward to a
certain point in order to use the DVD player properly.
Slide the rear seat up so the front edge of the seat
cushion is lined up with the mark on the carpet retainer
trim on the oor of the driver’s side rear seat. If the
rear seat is up past the mark, you will not be able
to open the DVD screen.
Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety
belts properly. It also tells you some things you should
not do with safety belts.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where he or she cannot
wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a
crash and you are not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be much worse. You can hit
things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously injured or killed. In the
same crash, you might not be, if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt,
and check that your passengers’ belts are
fastened properly too.

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system includes
a DVD player, a video display screen, two sets of
wireless headphones, and a remote control.
This system also functions as a rear seat audio (RSA)
system. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA) (Without Rear Seat
Entertainment) on page 3-118orRear Seat Audio (RSA)

by pressing the power button on the radio twice. To
resume use of the RSE system press the RSE power
button.
Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.
The DVD system is designed to be inoperable when the
vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect your system from
damage. Operate the DVD system under normal
or comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF button and
a volume control. To use the headphones press, the

will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the
batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section for more information.
Press the button to turn the headphones OFF when
not in use.
If the RSE system is shut off or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters, located at the top of
the DVD player, for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power. If you move too far forward or step out of
the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control on the headphones.
Make sure that the headphones are worn correctly, left
to right, to ensure the signal is received properly.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA) (Without
Rear Seat Entertainment)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the sources: radio, cassette, and CDs.

be changed from the RSE if the front seat passengers
have selected the same source from the front seat
controls. (For example, the radio station selected with
the front seat controls cannot be changed by the
rear seat control(s)).
The front seat audio controls always have priority over
the RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch
to the same source as the RSA, the RSA will no longer
control the source.You can operate the RSA when the main radio is off.
You can use wired headphones (not included) or
the wireless headphones. The wired headphones
connect to the outlets on the RSA system. The rear seat
passengers have control of the volume for each set of
