In the objects tab, click on the object. Down below the objects list a new input area will open. Click on the tab Surface Shaders. Now there should be an input area with a square on he right side. This usually says Parts Shaders. Click on this box and you should get a Parts Shader window. Click on the box to the right again. Now the materials will appear in the node window.

When I am working with these the first time, I give each material a different contrasty color. Do a small quick render and move the rendered image over where you can still see it. You should be able to see each material by it color. Now you can start changing the colors and other attributes of each material as you like.
