ABS warning indicatorThe ABS indicator displays on
the Cockpit Panel, along with a
notification message. If illuminated,
the ABS is disabled. Contact a Lucid
Service Center as soon as possible to have
the fault repaired.CAUTION: Even when ABS is disabled,
the pedal-operated braking system
remains operational. Be aware that
braking distances may increase and
wheels may lock under heavy braking.
Regenerative Braking
WARNING: If driving the vehicle in
reduced traction conditions (that is,
icy or snowy conditions), the use
of High regenerative braking level
may cause traction control to operate
more frequently. Lucid recommends
switching to Standard level when
driving in such conditions.
Whenever the vehicle is moving and your foot
is off the accelerator, regenerative braking
slows the vehicle and feeds energy back to
the high-voltage battery.
While you should still use the brake
pedal whenever needed to stop safely, you
can take advantage of regenerative braking
by anticipating your stops and reducing
accelerator pedal position.
Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing your vehicle (such as when your foot
is completely off the accelerator pedal at highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to
alert others that you are slowing down.
During regenerative braking, the charge/power
meter that arcs over the speedometer shows the current amount of energy being generated
and fed back to the high-voltage battery.
The amount of generated energy being fed
back to the high-voltage battery can vary
depending on the current state of the battery
and the regenerative braking setting being used. For example, regenerative braking maybe limited if the battery is extremely hot or
cold or if the battery is already charged to its
maximum allowable level.
Regenerative braking settings
On the Pilot Panel, press
> Vehicle
> Drive Settings, then press to select between
two levels of Regenerative Braking:
-Standard - Provides the standard
amount of regenerative braking.
When you release the accelerator, the
vehicle takes longer to slow down and
coasts further than if set to High.
- High - Provides the maximum amount of
regenerative braking.
When you release the accelerator, the
vehicle slows down faster, reducing the
need to use the brakes.
Note: Should regenerative braking levels be
limited, you

Interior Equipment
Sun Visors
To use a sun visor, fold it down from its
stowed position. Sun visors can also pivot
towards the side window by releasing it from
the retaining clip.
Note: Make sure the sun visor is secured
by the retaining clip when returning it to its
stowed position.
Both sun visors have a covered mirror. Raise the cover to use the mirror; an integrated light
automatically turns On. The light turns Off
when the cover is closed.
Sun visor battery replacement
WARNING: Each sun visor contains
three coin/button type batteries.
These batteries contain toxic and
corrosive substances. Batteries are
a chemical burn hazard and should never be ingested. If a battery is
swallowed, it can cause serious
internal burns and may even lead to
death.
- Keep new and used batteries out of
the reach of children.
- If you think batteries may have
been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek
immediate medical attention.
Due to the unique design of your vehicle, the
sun visors use batteries to power the mirror
lights.
Note: The batteries have an estimated life
of approximately two years based on typical
usage.
To replace the batteries:
With the sun visor in its stowed position, slide
the battery holder towards the front of the
vehicle.
Remove the old batteries.
Install new batteries and avoid touching the
flat surfaces of the batteries if possible, as
finger marks can reduce battery life. Wipe
the batteries clean before installation. Fit the
battery with the “+” side facing upwards.
Reinstall the battery holder in the sun visor.
Note: Always replace all three batteries with
new CR2032 batteries.
Glove Box
The glove box is opened using the Pilot Panel.

total distance, and traffic conditions along the
route. If the route requires charging stops to reach the destination, then charging stops will
automatically be added and shown on this
screen as well.
Note: Because the Auto )add Charging
feature is enabled by default, the system
automatically calculates the battery power
needed for the trip and the recommended charging time for each charging stop.
Once the route has started, the turn-by-
turn guidance instructions are shown on the
top navigation screen. Lane guidance, exit
numbers, and other guidance details will be
displayed when appropriate. While routing, if the navigation is replaced with media or
phone, navigation instructions will remain in
view in the Center Cockpit Panel while a route
is in progress.
The MANAGE tab summarizes the stops and their specific details. The DETAILS tab lists
every turn and stop along your route.
When the system automatically adds charging stops, extra details are provided for eachstop such as estimated percent on arrival,
suggested plug type to use, suggested number
of minutes to charge for, and suggested
minimum percent to charge up to. This
information will persistently show in both the
DETAILS tab and the MANAGE tab until your
route ends.You can also tap each Waypoint on
the Route directly from the map view to see
more details.
When starting a trip, we initially show you in
the smart drawer a full list of instructions.
This list automatically minimizes after thirty
seconds, to use the full screen for viewing
your maps and route. The route will display all
of your stops and traffic conditions. The smart
drawer with the list of instructions and details
about your stops can be manually reopened.
You can add, reorder, or delete stops.
If at any point you deviate from the route,
the system will quickly and automatically
recalculate a new route and immediately give
new guidance instructions.
While routing, if you have to stop and turn
off the vehicle, and you come back and turn on the vehicle, the route will continue to be
present on the screen.
Press END or use voice commands ("Alexa,
cancel navigation") to end navigation.
The Lucid navigation system will periodically
check that predicted charge on arrival is
still correct. It checks everytime you finish
charging, everytime you reach a low state
of charge, and every fifteen minutes while
routing. If the EV routing conditions have
significantly changed and the route needs to
be refreshed, a notification will appear and
will ask you to agree to a new route.
If for some reason the EV route requires
charging, but a fast charger could not be
automatically added along the route, then
an Insufficient Charge notification will be
shown inside navigation. In this case, we
recommend that you manually search for charging. Usually, slow chargers can be found
along the route and can be used.
Note: When Routing starts, a Mute button will
appear on the top navigation screen, which
enables you to turn off the audio guidance.
Adjusting the Map
The maps on either the ICR and CID
screen can be individually rotated, panned,
or zoomed in and out via the touchscreen.
