Advanced Automatic Crash Notification: if you're involved in a collision - even if the air bags(5) don't deploy - your vehicle can automatically send a signal to OnStar, where an Advisor will attempt to contact you to see if you need help. This quickly helps determine the emergency personnel, equipment and facilities needed.
Vehicle Diagnostics: Receive updates on your vehicle's engine, transmission, antilock brakes, air bags, tire pressure and more, plus monthly email reports of comprehensive diagnostic checks on your vehicle
Remote Door unlock: If you're locked out, OnStar can unlock your door remotely.

Six standard air bags(5)

Dual-stage frontal air bags (with right-front Passenger Sensing System) sense the severity of a crash, then determine if the air bags should be deployed and whether a full or less-than-full amount of inflation is to be used
Head-curtain side-impact air bags (front and rear outboard seating positions) are designed to reduce the risk of head injuries to front-seat and rear-outboard occupants in certain side-impact collisions
Front-seat-mounted, side-impact thorax air bags (driver and front passenger) are designed to help protect an adult's chest in a serious side-impact crash.

StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System (select models)

Standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes

Standard Traction Control

Craftsmanship

World-class fit and finish is the result of the exterior's sleek, crisp lines that vanish into body gaps as tight as 1mm
Acoustic laminated glass and extensive sound-deadening features result in an incredibly quite interior
The best coverage in America: The Chevy 100,000 Mile/5-Year(6) Transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty plus Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation

Navigation

OnStar(2) with Turn-by-Turn Navigation(3) (included in the one-year Directions & Connections Plan) is standard on every Malibu.
