How to remotely start a Buick Regal?
2 Answers
Buick Regal's remote start method is: first press the lock button to ensure the vehicle is locked, then long press the Buick logo button on the remote key. The remote start function enables preheating the engine, cabin ventilation, precooling in summer, and preheating in winter, making it an exceptionally practical and convenient feature. The Buick Regal is a mid-to-high-end sedan under SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4913mm in length, 1863mm in width, 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2829mm. The vehicle features a large-sized winged chrome grille that expands horizontally from the centerline, where the shield-shaped upper grille echoes the outward-extended trapezoidal lower grille design. Combined with the side air curtain design, the front fascia presents a wide-body, low-stance sporty demeanor.
With my 2019 Buick Regal, I use the key fob to remotely start the engine every morning before leaving. Look for the circular button with an arrow on the key—first press the lock button, then hold the remote start button for 5 seconds. After the engine starts, the headlights will flash twice. In summer, it automatically turns on the AC, and in winter, it activates the heater. However, the car must be locked for this to work, and the range shouldn’t exceed 60 meters—it often fails in underground parking, which is annoying. Using the OnStar app is even better; you can start the car from your office before heading home and even adjust the temperature, though it requires an annual subscription. For older cars, key fob starting is the most reliable—it works flawlessly even after 7-8 years.
