Chevrolet 2007 MALIBU Automobile User Manual


 
You can open the trunk lid on the sedan or the
liftgate on the MAXX only while the vehicle
is in PARK (P) or the ignition is off.
Emergency Trunk Release Handle
Notice: Do not use the emergency trunk
release handle as a tie-down or anchor point
when securing items in the trunk as it
could damage the handle. The emergency
trunk release handle is only intended to aid a
person trapped in a latched trunk, enabling
them to open the trunk from the inside.
There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk
release handle located inside the trunk of the sedan
model on the trunk latch. This handle will glow
following exposure to light. Pull the release handle
up to open the trunk from the inside.
Liftgate (MAXX)
To open the liftgate, press the trunk/liftgate button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or the
remote trunk/liftgate release button located on the
lower edge of the driver’s door. See “Remote
Trunk/Liftgate Release” under Trunk (Sedan) on
page 112.
If the liftgate is unlocked, you can manually open
it by pressing the touchpad switch located on
the underside of the liftgate trim panel, slightly to
the right of center.
