How to Start a Buick Verano?

Buick Verano starting procedure: 1. Depress the brake pedal and start the engine; 2. Shift into D gear and release the brake pedal to begin driving. All Verano models come with automatic transmission configuration. Before starting the engine, always ensure the gear is in P position and the brake pedal is depressed for safety. The Buick Verano's interior adopts the same signature 360-degree wraparound cockpit design language as the Envision. The instrument cluster features a sporty twin-dial design, while the centrally positioned 4.2-inch color trip computer display provides various vehicle information. On the upper center console, the new-generation frameless 8-inch HD color touchscreen is seamlessly integrated. The climate controls are positioned below the multimedia control area, with temperature-display rotary knobs that further enhance the overall technological feel.

I've been driving my Buick Verano for over three years now, and the startup procedure is quite smooth. When approaching the car with the key within about two meters, the door handles automatically unlock. After settling into the seat and firmly pressing the brake pedal, there's no need to take out the key—just press the circular start button below the instrument panel. At this point, all indicator lights on the dashboard will illuminate for a self-check, and within about two to three seconds, you'll hear the engine start. In the summer, I particularly enjoy using the key for remote start: first press the lock button, then hold the start button for five seconds. The car will flash its lights to indicate a successful start, which is especially practical for turning on the air conditioning in advance. On cold winter mornings, remember to wait until the tachometer drops to 1,000 RPM before shifting into gear and driving off—it's better for the engine.

Last week, I just taught my neighbor how to start his new Verano. The key is the action of pressing the brake pedal. After sitting in the driver's seat, don't rush to press the start button—first firmly press your foot on the brake pedal, wait until the dashboard lights up with a prompt, and then press the start button. The first few starts with a new car might be a bit slower, so don’t panic; the system is adapting. Only shift gears after hearing the engine running smoothly. If you notice the tachometer needle jumping erratically or warning lights appearing, immediately turn off the engine and repeat the procedure. Also, don’t forget to check that the gear is in the P position—once, he mistakenly left it in D and couldn’t start the car at all.

The most hassle-free way to start the Buick Verano is through keyless operation. With the key in your pocket, the doors automatically unlock as you approach. Once seated, simply press the brake pedal and the start button to ignite the engine, which automatically releases the steering wheel lock. During a cold start at minus ten degrees Celsius, if the temperature indicator on the dashboard remains lit, it's advisable to let the engine warm up for 30 seconds before driving. When parking, it's recommended to shift to P, engage the handbrake, and then turn off the engine for the smoothest start next time. If the start button lights up yellow, it's likely the key battery is low, and a 2032 coin cell should be replaced as an emergency measure.
