The hidden features of the 2018 Malibu include the anti-pinch window function, automatic locking function, and the 'see you home' function. Anti-pinch window function: The anti-pinch window function is a comfort feature. When closing, the electric window glass will automatically stop or reverse direction upon encountering resistance, preventing injuries. Automatic locking function: The automatic locking function is designed for theft prevention. The doors will automatically lock once the vehicle reaches a certain speed (around 15km/h), providing security by preventing door-opening theft during traffic jams or at traffic lights.
I drove the 2018 Malibu for a while and discovered some interesting hidden features. For example, in the settings menu, there's an 'auto-folding mirrors' option that's usually well hidden, but once activated, the mirrors automatically fold when you park and lock the car, preventing damage. The key fob also has a hidden trick: hold the unlock button for three seconds, and all windows roll down for ventilation—super handy on hot summer days. On the instrument panel, a combination of steering wheel buttons can access the engineering mode, displaying battery voltage and system status, which helps prevent minor issues with regular checks. There's also a hidden audio adjustment menu for customizing bass and treble to enhance music playback. In short, digging through the user manual and experimenting with buttons can reveal many smart features that make daily driving more enjoyable.
