I figured that wonderful feature out, when we returned from a week vacation, just before I discovered the generic light duty jumper cables weren't enough to jump start the car. she now has a set of cables identical to what i carry in my diesel pickup for starting farm equipment (20ft 2gauge)Of course since you have the 2LT, the rear seats fold down.
But if you had your doors locked with a completely dead battery, you can get in through the drivers door with your key, but you have to then climb around the front seats to get to the rear seats, to then get into the trunk. Wonder how I know that
I do hope the next Malibu comes with a trunk keyhole.
the car was driven on 6-30 mile trips in the 4 days before it was parked (Friday night 30miles, Saturday morning 30miles, Saturday night 30miles, Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Monday morning)
I jump started the car today and drove it to the dealership (25 miles) and it was slow cranking to restart when i arrived. hoping they find something, an electrical issue this early in the cars life doesn't make the future very exciting. i hope to avoid the battery tender, just because it would be a pain. heck, if I'm going to plug it in every night it might as well be a Chevy volt or something.
