What does the arrow on the LaCrosse car key mean?
2 Answers
The arrow on the LaCrosse key is used for remote start. The LaCrosse key can be used for: Locking the doors: Press the button to lock the doors/tailgate and activate the anti-theft alarm. Hold the lock button to close all windows and the panoramic sunroof. Unlocking the tailgate: Press this button to unlock the tailgate. For models equipped with a power tailgate, hold this button to open the tailgate. Hold this button to close the opened tailgate. If you have selected the safety unlock setting for all doors, long-pressing the tailgate unlock button will also unlock both side doors. Remote engine start: First press the lock button, then directly hold the remote engine start button until the engine starts remotely. Press the remote engine start button twice in succession to deactivate this function.
I've been driving the Buick LaCrosse for several years, and the arrow button on the key fob means remote start. Press and hold it, and the car can remotely start the engine. I often use this function in winter—press it at home before going out, and the car interior will warm up in a few minutes; in summer, I turn on the air conditioning in advance to cool down, avoiding sweating when getting in the car. Buick designed this feature thoughtfully, especially for cold northern regions like ours, as it helps protect engine lubrication and prolongs engine life. When operating, make sure the car is within sight, the doors are locked, and for safety, avoid using it in garages or crowded areas. After confirming the remote start, the car lights will flash once and emit a beep as a prompt. Simple and practical, it's a great helper for enhancing driving comfort.
