Disabling the auto start-stop feature in a 2014 Chevy Malibu is not a straightforward task, as General Motors implemented this system to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. While the manufacturer does not provide an official way to disable it, one workaround involves opening the hood, starting the engine, and then closing the hood to trick the system into thinking the engine is being inspected. It is worth noting that there are third-party adapters available on the market that claim to disable the feature, but Chevrolet does not endorse or authorize the use of such products.
