Buick 2005 LaCrosse Owner's Manual page 80

Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
Your vehicle's remote keyless entry transmitter, with the
remote start button, provides an increased range of
operation. However, the range may be less while
the vehicle is running and as a result, you may need to
be closer to your vehicle to turn it off, than you were
to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless
Entry System on page 2-3 for additional information.
The remote vehicle start feature needs to be reset after
your vehicle's engine is started two times using the
transmitter's remote start button. The remote start
system is reset by Inserting the vehicle's key into the
ignition lock cylinder and turning it to RUN and then to
OFF. See Ignition Positions on page 2-21 for
information regarding the ignition positions on
your vehicle.
/
(Remote Start): If your vehicle has the remote start
feature, the keyless entry transmitter will have a
button with this symbol on it.
