Chevrolet 2006 Malibu Owner's Manual page 13

CAUTION:
{
If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer
objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo
is not near an airbag. In a crash, an inflating
airbag might force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or even death.
Secure objects away from the area in which
an airbag would inflate. For more information,
see Where Are the Airbags? on page 1-58 and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-33.
CAUTION:
{
Things you put on this seatback can strike and
injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in
a crash. Remove or secure all items before
driving.
To fold the seatback forward, do the following:
1. Make sure the seatback is in the most upright
position and locked by using the reclining
seatback lever on the outboard side of the seat.
See Reclining Seatbacks on page 1-4.
