Drive Modes
Using Neutral
1. To shift out of park unlock the car witheither the keyfob, the nfc card, a pairedphone, or the phone app with correct
credentials.
2. Once the car is unlocked and powered on, you can open the driver door and
shift to neutral by pressing the brake
pedal and operating the shift lever.
The park brake will disengage, and the
vehicle will be ready to be pushed or
pulled.
3. If the electrical system of the vehicle is dead where the vehicle does not
wake up and unlock when asked for, the operator needs to connect a 12v jump-
start battery to the jump-start terminal so that operations A and B can be
conducted.
Drive Modes
Your vehicle can be set to your preferred
driving and regenerative braking modes.
You can opt for more comfortable and
less responsive vehicle controls in order to increase energy efficiency.
Use the Pilot Panel to select Drive Mode by
touching
.
Smooth
Smooth mode offers a relaxed and range-
focused driving experience. When activated,
the steering, braking and suspension systems
will be optimized for comfort, and the
powertrain response will be smoothed.
Swift
Swift mode is designed for spirited driving.
When activated, steering, braking and
suspension systems will be optimized for
a dynamic driving experience. Powertrain
responsiveness, and available power and
torque, will be increased. Upon powering the
vehicle off and on again, the drive mode will return to Smooth.
SprintWARNING: It is recommended
that this mode is used only by
advanced and skilled drivers, in
suitable environments, and with
Lucid-specification summer tires
installed.
Sprint Mode enables the maximum power
and torque of your vehicle, designed for
short duration bursts of intense performance.
Steering, braking and suspension systems are
optimized for stability and control. To use
this mode, you must select it and agree to
a disclaimer. Upon powering the vehicle off
and on again, the drive mode will return to
Smooth, and the disclaimer requirement will
reset.
Note: This mode cannot be selected if the
vehicle is using the guest profile. Please login
to enable this mode.
Limited Power Mode
CAUTION: It is recommended that
when driving in Limited Power Mode
you should travel in the lane of slower
moving traffic and be prepared to
stop.
Limited Power Mode automatically activates
if a fault is detected by the vehicle

Tow Truck Mode
When loading and unloading the vehicle onto
a flatbed tow truck, put the vehicle in Tow
Truck Mode. This can be done on the Pilot
Panel by navigating to Settings > Vehicle and
toggling Tow Truck Mode.
Tow Truck Mode disables the emergency
parking brake, disables the alarm, and shifts
the vehicle into neutral to allow for transport
on and off the flatbed truck.
Lucid recommends that Tow Truck Mode
remain active until after transportation has been completed.
Pulling the Vehicle onto a Trailer or TransporterCAUTION: Under no circumstances
should the vehicle be towed using
the vehicle recovery eye. Doing so
can cause significant damage to your
vehicle.CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the
recovery eye can cause it to become
detached while pulling the vehicle,
resulting in significant damage.WARNING: If the recovery eye mount
is not accessible and the vehicle
is recovered by attaching to a
frame, suspension, or other means,
the vehicle may sustain damage.
Inspect the vehicle and ensure it is
safe to operate.The Towing provider
MUST document the method of
vehicle recovery, whether using the
recovery eye, attachment to the body,
suspension, or other means.Failure to
do so could result in a hazardous
situation when operating the vehicle.
The recovery eye is available in the trunk of
your vehicle and located on the underside of
the right-hand floor panel.
To install the recovery eye:
1. Release the rubber cover from the attachment point behind the front grille.
2. Position the recovery eye through thebumper and rotate it clockwise into the
attachment point on the body until it
is fully seated. Visually check that the
recovery eye is parallel to the ground to
ensure correct installation.
3. Attach the winch cable to the recovery eye.
4. Place the vehicle in Neutral (N) or support rear wheels on a self-loading
dolly (see manufacturer instructions for use).
5. Pull the vehicle slowly onto the trailer or transporter.
Note: After using the recovery eye, remember
to store it back in the trunk and install the
rubber cover on the attachment point.
Securing the Vehicle for Transportation
When the vehicle is in position on the
transporter or trailer, use chocks and tie-down
straps to secure the wheels.

Disabling the Power System
Safety PrecautionsWARNING: In the event of fire,
immediately contact your local fire
emergency responders.WARNING: ALWAYS ASSUME THAT
HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE
ENERGIZED. Cutting, crushing, or
touching high-voltage components
can result in serious injury or death.WARNING: High-voltage cables and
components may remain energized for
up to 2 minutes after disabling.WARNING: High-voltage batteries can
self-ignite even after extinguishing the
initial fire.WARNING: The airbags and other
supplemental restraint systems may
remain powered for up to 2 minutes
after disabling.WARNING: In the event of a fire
involving a charging station, treat it as
an energized electrical fire until power
to the charger is confirmed to shut off.WARNING: This vehicle does not
have an internal combustion engine.
Lack of engine noise does not mean
the vehicle is OFF. Silent movement
capability exists until the vehicle
completely shuts down.
Emergency Responder Cut Loop
You can locate the emergency responder cut
loop under the hood on the right side, near
the suspension strut tower.
You can determine the location of the cut
loop by the yellow label wrapped around it.
This label is visible even with the maintenance
access panel in place.
Double cutting and removing the emergency
responder cut loop shuts down both the high-
voltage and the 12-volt battery systems.
Note: The cut loop is a low-voltage (12V) cable.
