Setting a Charge Limit
CAUTION: Charging beyond the
recommended level too often can
cause battery pack degradation.High-Voltage Battery Pack & Charging150

Without a set charge limit, the chargingsystem will charge the battery to the
recommended level. The vehicle dynamically
adjusts the actual charging rate depending on the state of charge, ambient temperature,
battery pack temperature, and position of the
charge slider.
You may need to adjust the charge limit higher or lower according to your driving needs. A
higher charge limit will increase trip distance.
Vehicles that are parked for extended periods
should be plugged in and use a lower charge
limit to maintain battery pack health.
Follow these guidelines for setting the charge limit:
-For the fastest possible charge rate
(miles/minute), set the slider as low as practically possible for the intended use of the vehicle.
- For general use, set the slider to
"Daily" or 50% - 80%. This setting best
preserves the battery pack life.
- For more range, set the slider beyond
"Daily" and up to "Distance." "Distance"
allows a full charge.
When charging beyond the "Daily" setting,
you may notice changes in reduced
regenerative braking and charging speeds. This functionality gradually returns as the car
is driven.
To set the charge limit: 1. On the Pilot Panel, select
>
ENERGY to display charging
options.
2. Press the SET CHARGE LIMIT button. 3. Use the slider to set the desired level of charge between 50% - 100%. Set
the slider to Daily for general use and
Distance for a long-range trip.
4. Press the DONE button.
Cold Weather Charging Considerations
CAUTION: Do not expose your vehicle
to extreme temperatures for long
periods without driving or connecting
to a charging cable, as this cannegatively affect battery pack life.
When temperatures are below 41

CAUTION: Do not use wax or
polish containing any harsh abrasives,
cutting compounds, or cleansers
that may damage the vehicle finish.
If in doubt when choosing a
product, please contact Lucid for
recommendations.CAUTION: Carefully read and follow
all of the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the wax or polish
product.
Regular waxing helps to protect the paint
surfaces from harsh elements and maintain
their appearance. After the first year, Lucid
recommends polishing your vehicle before
reapplying wax. Polishing removes built-up
residue and keeps the surface of the finish
even.
The exterior paint should be regularly checked for damage. Any minor scratches or chipsshould be repaired as soon as possible
using touch-up paint (contact Lucid for
recommendations).
Body repairs should only be performed by
a body shop approved by Lucid. Contact
a Lucid Service Center for assistance in
locating an approved body shop near you.
Using a Car Cover
CAUTION: Never use a car cover when
the vehicle is plugged in, as this
can prevent the battery from being
adequately cooled during charging.
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the
body when the vehicle is not being used, you
may wish to use a car cover.
Cleaning the Interior
General cleaning
WARNING: Exposure to chemicals in
some cleaners can be hazardous and
can irritate eyes and skin. Always
read and follow the manufacturer

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

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

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.

Vehicle Fire
FirefightingWARNING: When a fire is involved,
consider the entire vehicle to be
energized. Always wear full personal
protective equipment (PPE), including
a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA).WARNING: Extinguishing any vehicle
fire is best accomplished by
firefighting professionals. Contact
your local authorities or fire
department for help.
A vehicle battery fire presents a risk of
exposure to high heat or toxic gases. It
can take copious amounts of water applied
directly to the battery to extinguish and cool a
battery fire. Establish or request an additional
water supply from nearby sources.
In the absence of a water supply, use dry
chemicals, such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, or any other typical fire-extinguishing
agent, to fight the fire until a water supply is
available.
Extinguishing smaller fires that do not involve
a high-voltage battery follows the standard
firefighting procedures.
A burning or a heated battery releases toxic
vapors. Responders should always protect
themselves with full PPE (including a SCBA)
and take appropriate measures to protect
civilians from the incident. Use fog streams
or positive-pressure ventilation fans (PPV) to
direct smoke and vapors away from other
responders and civilians.
After knock down
Make sure any fires are knocked down before
entering a hot zone. Heat combined with
flames can compromise the airbag inflators,
stored gas inflation cylinders, gas struts, and
other components, resulting in an unexpected
explosion.
During vehicle inspections, always use
insulated tools and do not make contact with
any high-voltage components.
Use a thermal imaging camera to measure the temperature of the high-voltage battery
and monitor heating or cooling trends.
Before releasing the vehicle to second
responders (such as law enforcement or vehicle transporters) or otherwise leaving the
incident, completely cool the battery with no
fire, smoke, or heating present for at least one
hour. Always notify second responders of the
risk of battery re-ignition.Roadside Assistance & Emergency Information201
