The Malibu XL has automatic window roll-up when locking the car. The Malibu XL's automatic window closer only takes effect after the car key is turned off, and the window closing function is only activated once. The full name of the Malibu is the Chevrolet Malibu, which is a mid-to-high-end car born from General Motors, sharing the same platform as the Buick "Double Jun" series. Below are some relevant details about the Chevrolet Malibu: 1. Product Features: The 2018 Malibu is equipped with a 1.5T top-mounted direct-injection turbo engine and a 6-speed automatic DSS intelligent start-stop transmission, adopting Chevrolet's new unified rear badge naming, and adding a 530T Fashion Edition model. 2. Powertrain: The Malibu is equipped with a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 125kW (170PS), paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the lowest comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.8L under combined conditions.

When I first got into cars, I researched similar features. Many friends asked if the windows could automatically roll up when locking the car. For newer models like the Malibu XL, some higher-end versions support this function. It can be operated with the key: after getting out of the car, press and hold the lock button for about 5 seconds, and the windows will start closing automatically. If this setting isn't available, it might be because the base model wasn't activated at the factory. In that case, you'd need to visit a 4S shop to flash a program or install an OBD module. This feature is quite practical, especially when it rains or when parking outdoors, as you won't have to worry about forgetting to close the windows and letting rainwater in. I also recommend that car owners regularly maintain and check the window motors. If the operation fails, avoid forcing the windows to close to prevent damaging the components. After installation, the function becomes more intelligent, and the cost is usually not high, typically a few hundred yuan.
