Buick LaCrosse: Remote Vehicle Start
If available, this feature allows the engine to be started from outside the vehicle.
The button will be on the RKE transmitter if the vehicle has remote start.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws may require a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any requirements.
