Chevrolet Malibu - How to set the clock, reset

Setting the Clock for Systems without Radio Data System
Audio Systems
The audio system has been designed to operate easily and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first. 
Find out what your audio system can do and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). 
With RAP, you can play your audio system even after the ignition is off.
Setting the Clock for Systems without Radio Data System (RDS)
Press and hold the HR or MIN arrow for two seconds.
Then press the HR arrow until the correct hour appears. 
Press and hold the MIN arrow until the correct minute appears. The clock may be set with the ignition on or off.
Press and hold the HR or MN buttons, located below the tune knob, for two seconds. 
Then press and hold HR until the correct hour appears.
AM or PM will appear on the display. 
Press and hold MN until the correct minute appears. 
The clock may be set with the ignition on or off. The clock symbol will appear on the display in time-set mode.
To set the clock to the time of an FM station broadcasting Radio Data System (RDS) information, press and hold HR and MN at the same time for two seconds until UPDATED and the clock symbol appear on the display.

RDS clock time is broadcast once a minute. Once you have tuned to an RDS broadcast station, it may take a few minutes before pressing and holding the HR and
MM buttons will result in an update to the clock time.

This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the driver’s side. You can see it if you look through the windshield from outside your vehicle.
The VIN also appears on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts labels and the certificates of title and registration.

It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. After you clean the player, press and hold the eject button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN indicator.
The radio will display CLEANED to show the indicator was reset.
