LUCID AIR 2022 Owners Manual

Vehicle Lifting Points
Lifting the VehicleWARNING: Never raise the vehicle
when the charging cable is connected,
even if charging is not in progress.
Always disconnect the charging
cable before raising the vehicle. See
Disconnecting the Charging Cable on
page 149.WARNING: Do not work on an
incorrectly supported vehicle. Doing
so can cause serious damage, bodily
injury, or death.
The lifting points for the vehicle are located at
the positions shown below.
Ensure that any non-Lucid repair facility servicing your vehicle is aware of these lifting
points when raising your vehicle on a lift.
CAUTION: These are the only
approved lifting points for your
vehicle. Lifting the vehicle at any other
points may cause irreparable damage
to the vehicle.Steps for lifting the vehicle
1. Position the vehicle centrally between the lift posts.
2. Position the lift arm pads under the designated body lifting points at thelocations shown.CAUTION: DO NOT position the
lift arm pads under the vehicle
battery or side rails.
3. Adjust the height and position of the lift arm pads to ensure that they are
correctly located.
4. With assistance, raise the lift to the desired height, ensuring the lift arm
pads remain in their correct positions.
5. Engage any lift safety locks. Follow the lift manufacturer

Tire Information
Understanding Tire Markings
Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all
tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
1. Tire category
P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles. HL indicates that the tire is a high-load rated tire.
Note: May not be shown on some tires.
2. Tire width
This three-digit number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. So, if a tire is marked P245/35R21, the tire width is 245 mm.
3. Aspect ratio
This two-digit number, also known as the profile, gives the sidewall height as a percentage of the
tire width. So, if the tire width is 245 mm, and the aspect ratio is 35, the sidewall height will be 85.75
mm.

4. Tire construction
R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction. So, if a tire is marked P245/35R21, R is the
Radial ply construction.
5. Wheel diameter
This two-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches. So, if a tire is marked P245/35R21,
the wheel diameter is 21 inches.
6. Load index
This two- or three-digit number is the tire

12. Temperature grade
This letter indicates a tire

International Tire Approval Marks
Before any tires can be sold in most countries,tire manufacturers must test and certify
that all applicable safety and performance standards are met. This can include, sidewall
branding, durability, physical dimensions,
high-speed endurance, road noise, and wet
traction.
Many tires are sold globally, so tires may be
branded with multiple approval codes from
various countries.
United States
United States Department of
Transportation (DOT)
See 8. U.S DOT tire identi

and differences in both road characteristics
and climate.
Traction
Note: The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead braking tests,
and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are: AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent
a tire

-The maximum vehicle capacity weight in
kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb).
- Maximum number of occupant seating
positions in the vehicle.
- The size of the tires originally fitted to
the vehicle.
- The cold inflation pressures for the
original specification of front and rear
tires.
The stated tire pressures provide the optimum
vehicle ride and handling characteristics for
all normal operating conditions.
Note: Do not change this label, even if you use
different tires in the future.Tire & Wheels175

Tire Care and Maintenance
Inspecting and Maintaining TiresWARNING: The tires should be
regularly checked for wear and to
make sure that there are no cuts,
bulges, or exposure of the ply/cord
structure. Do not drive with tires that
are worn, damaged, or inflated to
the incorrect pressure. Driving under
any of these conditions could lead to
collision due to tire failure and/or loss
of control and result in serious injury
or death to the occupants or others.
Always consider tire conditions when driving,
and regularly inspect the tread and sidewalls for any sign of distortion (bulges), cuts, or
wear.
Good driving practice will improve the
mileage you obtain from your tires and avoid
unnecessary damage.
-Always ensure that the tire pressures
are correctly adjusted.
- Always observe the posted speed limits
and advisory speeds.
- Avoid pulling away quickly or hard
acceleration.
- Avoid making fast turns or braking
sharply.
- Avoid potholes and objects on the road.
- Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking.
CAUTION: Avoid contaminating tires
with vehicle fluids that can cause
damage.
Tire wear
WARNING: The tire wear indicators
show the minimum tread depth
recommended by the tire
manufacturer. Tires that have worn
to this point will have reduced
grip and poor water displacement
characteristics.
Tires fitted as original equipment have tread
wear indicators molded into the tread pattern.
When the tread has been worn down
to approximately 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), the
indicators become flush with the surface of
the tread pattern, producing the effect of a
continuous band of rubber across the width of
the tire.
A tire must be replaced as soon as an
indicator band becomes flush to the tread,
indicating the tread has reached the minimum
permitted by legislation.
Note: Your Lucid Service Center will evaluate
tire wear when servicing your vehicle.
Wheel alignment and tire balance
Unbalanced wheels (sometimes noticeable as
steering wheel vibration) may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, you
should balance your wheels as required.
Note: If tire wear is uneven (on one side of the
tire only) or becomes abnormally excessive, you should check the wheel alignment.
Wheel and tire rotation
WARNING: Your vehicle may be fitted
with different size tires on the front and rear wheels. The front and
rear wheels may also have different
offsets. Do not move wheels between
the front and rear axles as this will
severely affect vehicle handling.Tire & Wheels176

Lucid does not recommend moving the
wheels between the front and rear axles, or
from side to side on the same axle pair.
Punctured tiresWARNING: Do not drive the vehicle
with a punctured tire. Even if the
punctured tire has not deflated, it is
unsafe to use as the tire may deflate
suddenly at any time.
Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires, which
may not leak when penetrated, provided the
object remains in the tire.
If, however, you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving, or you suspect your
tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately
reduce your speed. Drive slowly while avoiding
heavy braking or sharp steering, and when
safe to do so, stop the vehicle.
Inspect the tires for damage. If a tire is under-
inflated and does not appear to have any
damage to the sidewall, try to repair using a
tire repair kit. If you cannot detect the cause
or the tire is too heavily damaged, have the
vehicle recovered to a tire repair center, or a Lucid Service Center to have the vehicle
inspected.
A puncture will eventually cause the tire to
lose pressure, which is why frequent checking
of tire pressures is important. Punctured or
damaged tires must be permanently repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Age degradation
Tires degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tires are replaced every
six years, but may require replacement more
frequently.
Maintaining Tire Pressures
WARNING: Use a gauge to check tire
pressures when COLD. Under-inflation
is the most common cause of tire
failures and may result in severe
tire cracking, tread separation, or
“blowout,” with an unexpected loss of
vehicle control and increased risk of
injury.Each tire should be checked monthly and
inflated to the pressure recommended on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires).
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
battery range and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle
