How to Use the S Gear in Malibu?
1 Answers
Usage of the S gear in Malibu: While the car is in motion, simply push the gear lever into the S position. It is typically used for climbing slopes and rapid acceleration when overtaking. The S gear represents the car's sport mode, allowing free gear shifting, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a longer duration. This results in the car maintaining a lower gear with higher RPM for an extended period, delivering greater torque output and acceleration. The Malibu is a vehicle launched by Shanghai GM, featuring a design where the headlights and the front grille are integrated. The headlights adopt a combined high/low beam structure with xenon light sources. The interior of the car has undergone a family-style upgrade, with the square dual-dial instrument panel changed to a circular design. It is equipped with features such as keyless entry, automatic headlights, rearview camera, automatic air conditioning, electronic parking brake, and one-touch start.
