Why aren't any lights coming on the outside with remote start? I thought the 1st time using it I had lights staying on to show the car is running, otherwise it's started but I can only tell by sound or if I start it through Bluelink (which magically began working again), seeing the successful message. Kinda dumb to have no lights on indicating car is running.

I'm still having trouble with Bluelink doing anything. While the car shows me that I'm charging the battery, Bluelink says I am not plugged in. When I go to start the car on the app, it takes forever to "process" the information. Faster and easier to just start the car, lol

I believe that the lights stay off during remote start to inhibit people from trying to steal your car. Walking by with no lights on they might not be able to tell it's running. I could be wrong however.

On mine (Luxury PHEV), the remote start only works if all the doors are locked (I think, I've only had it for 3 days)

I got my PHEV tonite and once the doors are locked, I used the remote start and none of the exterior lights came on. I barely knew it was running and it was not until I was almost next to it did I see it really did remote start.

Boyfriend has a Ford & with remote start his running lights come on...another thing I dislike about my Tucson!

I just press lock twice and press the start button on the fob. No lights. Trust and obey. Lol

The signal lights blink twice acknowledge the auto start. Then, you should see exhaust from the tailpipe almost immediately in the cold weather. When the ambient temperature is warmer than the default hvac setting of 72 degrees F the engine might not start immediately until the a/c uses some power and the battery calls for a charge. Regardless, you should trust that the blinking lights tell you the start was successful. Of course, the doors must be locked before you try starting the car. You push the lock button twice then press and hold the "hold' button until you see the lights blink twice. I don't bother with any of that overcomplicated bluelink crap.
