How to Activate One-Touch Window Roll-Up for the Malibu?
2 Answers
To activate the one-touch window roll-up feature for the Malibu, follow these steps: 1. Open the window (one-touch roll down) by pressing the switch to the first detent and holding it until the window reaches the desired position. 2. Press the switch firmly to reach the second detent, at which point the window will fully open. 3. Close the window (one-touch roll up) by pulling the button to the first detent position and releasing it when the window reaches the desired position. 4. Pull the switch firmly to reach the second detent, at which point the window will fully close. Additional information on one-touch window operation: Besides the controls on the door armrest, you can also use the key to operate the one-touch window function. Press and hold the lock button on the key for 3 seconds to automatically roll up all four windows. Similarly, press and hold the unlock button on the key for about 3 seconds to synchronously lower all four windows.
Previously, I drove a Malibu, and activating the one-touch window lift was quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat, turn the ignition to the ON position or start the car directly, then locate the window control button on the driver's side. Manually press and hold the button to raise the window all the way to the top. Here's the key: after reaching the top, don't release the button—continue holding it for about 5 seconds. Then, press the window down button to lower the glass all the way to the bottom, again holding it for 5 seconds without releasing. After this process, the system will memorize the window's travel, allowing you to use the one-touch feature for automatic window lifting with just a single press in the future. If the passenger side also has the one-touch up/down feature, simply repeat the same method. Remember, you must perform the lift first followed by the lowering—getting the sequence wrong might prevent activation. It took me several tries to get it right.
