What is the operation method for Buick Regal's remote start?
3 Answers
Buick Regal's remote start operation method is: download and open OnStar, where there are many options, and proceed with the remote start setup. Taking the 2020 Buick Regal as an example, it belongs to the midsize car category, with body dimensions of: length 4904mm, width 1863mm, height 1461mm, wheelbase 2829mm, and trunk capacity of 441l. The 2020 Buick Regal is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum power of 124kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission.
The remote start operation for the Buick Regal is actually quite convenient, and I've used it several times myself. It mainly relies on the car key or a mobile app. With the key, first lock the car and ensure you're within a range of several dozen meters, then quickly press the lock button twice, followed by holding down the start button with a small circle on the key for about five to six seconds. The car's headlights will illuminate to indicate success. For the mobile app, you need to bind the OnStar system in advance and simply press the button in the 'Remote Start' feature. It's especially useful in cold or hot weather, allowing you to warm up the car or turn on the air conditioning in advance for a comfortable ride. However, note that the vehicle cannot be in a low fuel state, otherwise it won't start, and the doors remain locked after starting, ensuring safety.
Buick Regal owners can try the remote start feature, which operates in two ways. The first method uses the original key fob: ensure the vehicle is locked, press the lock button once, then press and hold the start button for about 5 seconds until the lights flash before releasing. The second method is via the OnStar App—after binding your vehicle, tap the engine start button on the main interface. Personally, I recommend the mobile app; you can operate it from your office, making the car much cooler when you enter in summer. However, avoid frequent use as the engine will automatically shut off after 10-15 minutes each time, and it may fail if fuel is low. Also, confirm the gear is in P and all doors are closed for stable signal transmission, and don’t stand too far from the car.
