Re: 05 Malibu problem
Everything is done via the radio on a Malibu. Language, oil life reset, units from KPH to MPH....... door light options lock options....
It is all listed in the owners manual. Here is a C & P I found
A driver information center works through the stereo display, providing gas mileage, distance to empty, average speed, and other information (not compass heading) underneath the radio station or CD status. You can also program various options through clearly labelled buttons by the stereo, including automatic lock behavior, oil status (so you don't change the oil long before it's actually needed), English/metric dashboard displays (so the speedometer only needs one set of numbers and is easy to read in the US and in Canada), and other features. All can be set up via easily pushed and well labelled buttons by either the driver or the passenger, and since the status display is in the middle of the panel, pretty much anyone in the car can read it - a much better idea than having it right in front of the driver so nobody else can read it. There is also an outside temperature display, but to get to it, you have to push the stereo's information button (not the info center's information button!) four times. The first pushes get you the artist and track if you're listening to XM Radio. Now that most people use the remote control, it is helpful that the system will also warn you when your battery is low!
