GM vehicles use three different style keys, of which Buick uses the last two. There are several starting options, and we have videos here.
So, find your model, and if the main start battery is still good, we’ll get you underway…
Note that, as can be seen, the console areas look different from model to model, but the pocket is indeed beneath the cup holders. With the key fob in place and with the vehicle in Park or Neutral, press the brake pedal and the Start / Stop ignition button as normal.
Place the key fob in the compartment and step on the brake and start the vehicle as normal using the Start / Stop button.
Once again, with the vehicle in Park or Neutral, press the brake pedal and the Start / Stop ignition button as normal. Look for video help here.
Note: If you have made an attempt to start the vehicle without success, there may be residual pressure in the brake system and a new warning light may appear (left) or text
