Buick LaCrosse: Immobilizer Operation (Keyless Access)
This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the transmitter leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is disarmed when the ignition button is pushed in and a valid transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light, located in the instrument panel cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more transmitters matched to an immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly matched transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the transmitter in the transmitter pocket located in the center console. See “No Remote Detected” under Key and Lock Messages.
If the engine does not start with the other transmitter or when the transmitter is in the pocket in the center console, your vehicle needs service. See your dealer who can service the theft-deterrent system and have a new transmitter programmed to the vehicle.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
