If the battery on your 2017 Chevy Malibu key fob is dead and you need to use the physical key to start your car, start by pressing the button on the fob to release the key. Then, if you are outside the vehicle, locate the cover on the right side of the driver's side door handle and snap it open to use the key to unlock the door. Once inside, open the center armrest and find the slot at the back where you can place the dead key fob. Your car will recognize it, allowing you to use the start button to start your engine.
To begin the ignition of your Chevrolet Malibu using a key, just press the lock button twice, then hold down the semicircle button.
What if you have the physical key but can't find the key fob?
