A yellow triangle with an exclamation point is appearing on the dash, what does this mean?

Next to it is a square with three wavy vertical lines with arrow points at the top of the lines. What does this indicate?

Hello,

See attached, I have included the cluster diagrams for both the base and the upper trim level.
Take a look at it and let me know which warning light you are seeing.

You can also upload a picture. It can help us determine.

Thank you.

No. None of the symbols on the two images are the same as the one I'm referring to on my car. I have since read that the symbol could be the indicator light for the rear window defogger. Could that be it?

Think a square with 3 wavy vertical lines with arrow pointers at the tops of the lines.

Is your Malibu the new body style or the Classic?
I was unable to find that specific error on the catalog.
