When I first drove the Malibu, I was also curious about how to adjust the steering wheel weight. This model usually comes with an electric power steering system that allows easy adjustment of the steering force. You can find a multifunction button on the lower right or left side of the steering wheel—press it to bring up the menu, then swipe or select the driving mode settings to adjust the power steering level. Comfort mode makes the steering wheel lighter for easier turning and parking, while sport mode increases the weight for more stability at high speeds. I often adjust it based on road conditions, like making it lighter in city traffic to save effort or heavier on highways to reduce fatigue. Just remember not to fiddle with the settings while driving—stop first to avoid distractions. Heavier settings might make parking a bit harder, and regular checks on the power steering system can prevent unexpected stiffness. This feature is very helpful for daily driving—it's simple to operate, but don’t mess with the settings unnecessarily.
