If the keyless fob for a 2016 Buick Cascada is not working after replacing the CR2032 battery, possible issues include:
1. The key may be damaged. 2. The transponder in the key may not be matching the immobilizer control unit. 3. The vehicle may not recognize the key if it is not the correct one. 4. The theft-deterrent system may still be active if the correct disarming procedure was not followed. 5. The system may need service if a different key does not work either.
Try using another ignition key if available. If the problem persists, the vehicle likely needs service.
GM, the GM logo, BUICK, the Keep this manual in the vehicle for BUICK Emblem, and CASCADA are Danger, Warning, and quick reference.

Do you have a question about the Cascada 2016 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My keyless faubs just quit working. I replaced the CR2032 coin shaped batteries but still nothing.
If the keyless fob for a 2016 Buick Cascada is not working after replacing the CR2032 battery, possible issues include:
1. The key may be damaged.
2. The transponder in the key may not be matching the immobilizer control unit.
3. The vehicle may not recognize the key if it is not the correct one.
4. The theft-deterrent system may still be active if the correct disarming procedure was not followed.
5. The system may need service if a different key does not work either.
Try using another ignition key if available. If the problem persists, the vehicle likely needs service.
