Remote Start Buick Enclave: How to Use Keyless Start | Vehicle Support

Welcome to Vehicle Support, where we provide helpful tips and instructions for using various features of your Buick Enclave. In this article, we will guide you through the process of using the remote start feature on your Buick Enclave. Remote start allows you to start your vehicle from a distance, providing convenience and comfort. Let's get started!

Using Remote Start on a Buick Enclave

The remote start feature on your Buick Enclave allows you to start your vehicle from outside the car using your key fob. This is especially useful during extreme weather conditions, as it allows you to warm up or cool down your vehicle before getting inside. Here are the steps to use remote start:

Step 1: Locate the Looping Arrow Button on Your Key Fob

The first step is to locate the looping arrow button on your key fob. This button is usually located on the front or back of the key fob and is marked with a looping arrow symbol. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the location of this button.

Step 2: Press the Looping Arrow Button Twice

Once you have located the looping arrow button, press it twice in quick succession. When you press the button, the turn signals on your Buick Enclave will flash to confirm that the remote start has been activated. This is a visual indication that your vehicle has received the command to start remotely.

Step 3: Confirm Remote Start Activation

After pressing the looping arrow button twice, it is important to confirm that the remote start has been activated. You can do this by checking the vehicle's exterior lights. If the lights flash or the turn signals blink, it means that the remote start has been successfully activated.

Step 4: Check Local Regulations

Before using the remote start feature, it is important to check your local regulations regarding its use. Some areas may have restrictions on the use of remote start, especially in residential areas or during certain hours. Make sure to familiarize yourself with any regulations or restrictions in your area to avoid any potential issues.

Step 5: Automatic Shut Off

It is important to note that the remote start feature on your Buick Enclave has an automatic shut off feature. After 20 minutes of running, the vehicle will automatically shut off if it has not been manually turned on. This is a safety feature to prevent the engine from running for an extended period of time without supervision.

Step 6: Starting the Vehicle

Once you are ready to drive your Buick Enclave, you will need to start the vehicle. To do this, simply press the brake pedal and then press the Power button. This will start the engine and allow you to drive the vehicle as usual. It is important to note that the remote start feature only starts the engine, and you will still need to manually start the vehicle to begin driving.

Step 7: Time Limit for Remote Start

The remote start feature on your Buick Enclave has a time limit for each remote start session. You can use remote start for up to 40 minutes of total time. After reaching this time limit, you will need to start the vehicle and turn it off before using remote start again. This is another safety feature to prevent the engine from running for an extended period of time without supervision.

Step 8: Canceling Remote Start

If you need to cancel the remote start feature for any reason, there are a few options available to you:

Option 1: Press the Looping Arrow Button on Your Key Fob

To cancel the remote start, simply press the looping arrow button on your key fob. When you press the button, the parking lamps on your Buick Enclave will turn off, indicating that the remote start has been canceled.

Option 2: Turn on the Hazard Lights

Another option to cancel the remote start is to turn on the hazard lights. This can be done by pressing the hazard light button on your vehicle's dashboard. When the hazard lights are turned on, it indicates that the remote start has been canceled.

Option 3: Turn the Vehicle On and Off

If you prefer, you can also cancel the remote start by manually starting the vehicle and then turning it off. Simply press the Power button to start the engine, and then press it again to turn off the engine. This will cancel the remote start and allow you to start the vehicle as usual.

That's it! You now know how to use the remote start feature on your Buick Enclave. Enjoy the convenience and comfort of starting your vehicle remotely, especially during extreme weather conditions.
