Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing
infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual and the child safety seat instructions for

ENGINES Chevrolet products are equipped with engines produced by GM Powertrain
or other suppliers to GM worldwide. The engines in Chevrolet products may also be
used in other GM makes and models.
ASSEMBLY Chevrolet vehicles and their components are assembled or produced
by different operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries or suppliers to GM
worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Chevrolet vehicles with
different or differently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since
some options may be unavailable when your vehicle is assembled, we suggest you
verify that your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered and that, if there were
changes, they are acceptable to you.
ONSTAR OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless
service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function
properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers. Subscription
Service Agreement required. Call 1.888.4.ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827) or visit onstar.com
for OnStar Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, details and system limitations.
A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY Always use safety belts and the correct restraint for your
child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System,
children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child
or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle
equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual and child safety seat
instructions for more safety information.
IMPORTANT WORDS ABOUT THIS CATALOG We have tried to make this catalog
comprehensive and factual. We reserve the right, however, to make changes at any
time, without notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment, specifications, models and
availability. Specifications, dimensions, measurements, ratings and other numbers
in this catalog and other printed materials provided at the dealership or affixed to
vehicles are approximations based on design and engineering drawings, prototypes
and laboratory tests. Your vehicle may differ due to variations in manufacture and
equipment. Since some information may have been updated since the time of printing,
please check with your Chevrolet dealer for complete details. Chevrolet reserves
the right to lengthen or shorten the model year for any product for any reason or to
start and end model years at different times. Certain vehicle features may lose their
usefulness over time due to obsolescence from technological changes. Unless otherwise
noted, all claims based on GM Mid-Car Sedan segment and latest available competitive
information. Excludes other GM vehicles.
SPARE TIRE INFORMATION There is no standard jack or spare tire in the 2015
Chevrolet Malibu LS or 1LT. Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit that
uses a liquid tire sealant to temporarily seal up to a one-quarter-inch puncture in
the tread area of the tire. After using the tire inflator kit, it is recommended that
you take the tire to an authorized retailer for inspection and repair as soon as
possible, but at least within 100 miles of driving. The tire sealant cannot seal and
inflate sidewall damage, punctures larger than one-quarter inch, or a tire that has
unseated from the wheel. The sealant can only be used on one tire and for one time
before its expiration date.
FLEET ORDERS Some standard content may be deleted on fleet orders.
