Where is the GL8 transmitter bag start button located?

Buick GL8 transmitter bag is located at the very bottom center of the dashboard console. Below is extended information: 1. One-Button Start: The Buick GL8 features a one-button start system. To start the engine, you need to press the button while stepping on the brake pedal. The same button is used to turn off the engine, but you must shift to P (Park) position before turning off. The one-button start is part of vehicle intelligent systems, representing a simplified ignition process button mechanism commonly found in premium vehicles. 2. Transmitter Bag: The transmitter bag refers to the vehicle's key recognition area, which includes either the one-button start button or the central armrest storage compartment.
I remember chatting with my neighbor about the remote start feature on the Buick GL8. He often preheats the car before heading out in winter, which seems quite convenient. On the key fob, first press the lock button to confirm the car is locked, then immediately press and hold the circular arrow icon for about three seconds without releasing. The engine will start. I've tried it a few times, and it only works when the car is locked—otherwise, it won't respond. Once the engine starts, the dashboard lights will indicate it. This feature is especially useful for adjusting the cabin temperature in extreme cold or heat. I recommend checking the key fob battery regularly, as low battery levels might cause it to fail. Also, remember to enter the car soon after starting it, as the engine will automatically shut off after a while if no one gets in, as a safety precaution.
