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

Vehicle Hold
Vehicle Hold controls brake settings, and cankeep your vehicle stopped even when your
foot is not on the brake pedal.
When set to HOLD, the vehicle remains
stationary after a stop. The brakes hold until
the driver presses the accelerator pedal again.
If set to ROLL, the car rolls freely after releasing the accelerator.
To configure, use the Pilot Panel and touch
> Vehicle > Drive Settings, then
select the desired mode.
Note: The default setting is HOLD, and can
only be changed when the vehicle is in
P (Park). The setting saves to your User
Profile.
Note: Vehicle Hold disengages if the driver
shifts into N (Neutral) or presses and releases
the brake pedal.
Note: Vehicle Hold will disengage and shift
into P (Park) in any of the following instances:
-Hold has been braking for approximately
10 minutes.
- The system detects that the driver has
exited the vehicle.
Parking Brake
CAUTION: In the unlikely event that
your vehicle loses electrical power,
you will not be able to select another
gear and therefore will be unable to
release the parking brake. Contact a
Lucid Service Center for assistance.
The parking brake operates on the rear wheels
only, and is independently controlled of the
pedal-operated brake system.
The parking brake automatically applies when
P (Park) is selected, and releases when any other gear is selected. It is also engaged by
certain systems when a time limit is reached. See Vehicle Hold on page 80.
The red parking brake indicator
is displayed on the Cockpit Panel
when the parking brake is engaged.
A flashing indicator signals either
operating wiht a fault, or a parking brake
stuck in operation.
If the indicator is amber, a fault
has been detected and the parking
brake may not be applied when the
vehicle is in P (Park). This will be
accompanied by a notification on the Cockpit
Panel. Contact a Lucid Service Center to have
the fault repaired.
Emergency useCAUTION: Driving the vehicle with the
parking brake applied, or repeated
use of the parking brake to slow the
vehicle, may cause serious damage to
the brake system.
In an emergency, pressing and holding the P
(Park) button decelerates the vehicle to a low
speed using the service brakes, then applies
the parking brake.
Parking on a slope
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions,
the rear wheels may not have
sufficient traction to prevent the
vehicle from sliding when parked on
a slope. You are always responsible for parking safely.WARNING: If parking on too steep a
grade for the parking brake to securely
hold the vehicle, the vehicle will give
audible and visual warnings. Drive to a
less steep area and re-park.
As an added precaution:
-If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing uphill, turn the steering wheel so
the front wheels are pointing away from
the curb.
- If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing downhill, turn the steering wheel

Getting Maximum Range
Driving Tips to Maximize Range
-Remove any unnecessary cargo to
reduce vehicle load weight.
- Ensure your tires are maintained at
their specified inflation pressures. See
Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 177.
- Keep all windows closed when possible
to reduce drag.
- Avoid abrupt and/or frequent
acceleration. Try to maintain an even
speed.
- When it is safe to do so, use one pedal
driving techniques to gradually slow
the vehicle using regenerative braking
rather than friction braking. See Braking
Systems on page 78.
- Switch into Smooth mode. See Drive
Modes on page 70.
- Limit the use of the heating and air
conditioning controls when possible.
Using seat heaters to keep warm is a
more energy-efficient alternative than
heating the entire cabin.

Steering override
While Highway Assist is active, you can
temporarily override it by using the steering wheel. When you turn the steering wheel, the
Highway Assist indicator will gray out on the
Cockpit Panel.
Once the steering wheel returns to its neutral
position, the vehicle is centered in the lane,
and the system detects lanes again, Highway Assist should automatically resume and the
Cockpit Panel will return to displaying the
active Highway Assist mode.
Manually canceling Highway Assist To cancel Highway Assist, press the
Cancel button on the steering wheel.
The system can also be canceled by pressing
the brake pedal if it is safe to do so in the current traffic conditions.
Traffic Sign Recognition
WARNING: Traffic Sign Recognition
is an assist feature only. The driver
is responsible for paying attention
to the road signs and determining
the appropriate speed limit, road
conditions, and driving speed.WARNING: Traffic Sign Recognition is
not available in all countries.WARNING: Map data is not always
accurate. The GPS can miscalculatethe vehicle location, which may
provide an incorrect traffic sign.WARNING: If a road or a traffic
sign has recently been changed, the
Traffic Sign Recognition system may
not be fully functional or may provide
inaccurate information.WARNING: In situations where the
Traffic Sign Recognition system is
unable to determine a traffic sign, or if
it is uncertain that an acquired speed
limit is accurate, the system may not
display the information and warnings
may not take effect.
The Traffic Sign Recognition system uses the
front cameras and navigation system data to
recognize traffic signs on the road, providing
you with driving information such as speed limits and other regulations.
When a traffic sign is detected, it displays on
the Cockpit Panel next to the speedometer.
Speed Limit Alerts
When Speed Limit Alert is enabled (see Speed
Limit Alert Settings ), if the current vehicle
speed exceeds the detected speed limit, the display color of the speed limit sign willchange color and may increase in size. Thedisplay will return to the normal color and
size when the vehicle is slowed to within the
speed limit.
Wrong-way warnings
If a Wrong Way road sign is detected and the
vehicle passes the sign, the system will alert you with an audible alert and a notification on
the Cockpit Panel.

Forward Collision Warning
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning
is an assist feature only, and is
not a substitute for attentive driving
and sound judgment. The driver is
responsible for paying attention to the
road, maintaining a suitable distance
from the vehicle ahead, and braking or
steering the vehicle when necessary.WARNING: There are factors that can
reduce or impair the performance ofthe Forward Collision Warning system,
causing either unnecessary, invalid,
inaccurate, or missed warnings. Do
not rely solely on Forward Collision
Warning to warn you of a potential
collision.WARNING: Forward Collision Warning
only monitors what is in front of the
vehicle. Be aware of your surroundings
at all times while operating the
vehicle.WARNING: Forward Collision Warning
does not provide alerts when the
driver is already applying the brake.
The Forward Collision Warning system uses
the front camera mounted behind the
windshield and the radar sensor mounted behind the front bumper to detect the
presence of an object (such as a vehicle,
bicycle, or pedestrian).
If the system detects that a collision is likely
to happen, it will sound an alert and prompt
you to brake in the Center Cockpit Panel. If
this happens, TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE
ACTION and apply the brakes or steer clear of
the impending collision.
Note: If the driver presses the brake, the
system provides additional brake support.
If you do not react sufficiently to the warning,
the Automatic Emergency Braking system
should reduce speed, which is intended to help reduce the severity of a collision.
When Automatic Emergency Braking is
activated, the Cockpit Panel flashes red and
an audible alert sounds. If this happens, TAKE
IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION.

Rear Pedestrian Collision ProtectionWARNING: Rear Pedestrian Collision
Protection is an assist feature only,
and is not a substitute for attentive
driving and sound judgment. The
driver is responsible for paying
attention while reversing, monitoring
the surroundings, and braking or
steering the vehicle when necessary.WARNING: There are factors
that can reduce or impair the
performance of the Rear Pedestrian
Collision Protection system, such
as low ambient light conditions,
causing either unnecessary, invalid,
inaccurate, or missed warnings. Do
not rely solely on Rear Pedestrian
Collision Protection to warn you of a
potential collision.WARNING: Rear Pedestrian Collision
Protection only monitors for
pedestrians behind the vehicle. It
does not detect objects, and does
not detect pedestrians outside of the
range of the rear camera. Be aware of
your surroundings at all times while
operating the vehicle.WARNING: Rear Pedestrian Collision
Protection does not provide alerts
when the driver is already applying the
brake.
When the gear is in N (Neutral) or R (Reverse)
and backward vehicle motion is detected,
Rear Pedestrian Collision Protection uses the
rear camera to monitor for pedestrians behind
the vehicle. If a collision is imminent, the
system issues a warning and applies the
brakes. Rear Pedestrian Collision Protection is
active at speeds below 11 mph (18 km/h).
If the system detects that a rear collision with
pedestrians is likely to happen, it will sound
an audible alert and prompt you to brake on
the right Cockpit Panel. If this happens, TAKE
IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION.
If you do not react sufficiently to the warning,
the emergency breaking will activate to reduce
the severity of the collision.
Cross Traffic ProtectionWARNING: Cross Traffic Protection
is an assist feature only, and is
not a substitute for attentive driving
and sound judgment. The driver is
responsible for paying attention while
driving, monitoring the surroundings,
and braking or steering the vehicle
when necessary.WARNING: There are factors that can
reduce or impair the performance of
the Cross Traffic Protection system,
causing either unnecessary, invalid,
inaccurate, or missed warnings. Do
not rely solely on Cross Traffic
Protection to warn you of a potential
collision.WARNING: Cross Traffic Protection
does not detect smaller objects
outside of the range of the sensors.
This could include (but is not limited
to) small children or animals. Be aware of your surroundings at all times while
operating the vehicle.WARNING: Cross Traffic Protection
does not provide alerts when the
driver is already applying the brake.
Cross Traffic Protection warns the driver when
there is a risk of collision with crossing
traffic approaching from the left or right to
the front or rear side of the vehicle and
will automatically apply emergency braking if
needed.
When enabled, Cross Traffic Protection is
active at speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h) for warnings, and speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h)for braking.
Note: Cross Traffic Protection is not available
when the gear is in P (Park). Front cross traffic
alerts or braking will not be issued if vehicle
speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h) or driven
distance is over 131 ft (40 m) after shifting from P (Park) to D (Drive) gear.

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.

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

To view current tire pressures on the Pilot
Panel. Select
> Vehicle > Tire
Pressure.
Note: Tire pressure is shown once the vehicle
is driven over 13 mph (21 km/h).
If it is necessary to check the tires when they
are warm, you should expect the pressures to
have increased. Do not reduce the pressure of warm tires in an attempt to match the
recommended cold tire pressures.
To view the recommended COLD tire
pressures for your vehicle, select the
RECOMMENDED tab. Always inflate your tires
to the pressures recommended by Lucid, even
if it is different from the maximum inflation
pressure information found on the tire itself.
Adjusting tire pressure
To check and adjust tire pressure: 1. Remove the cap from the valve, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve
and measure the pressure.
2. If required, add air to reach the required pressure.
3. Check the pressure by removing the tire gauge and then re-attaching it. Failure
to remove and re-attach the gauge to
the valve could cause the gauge to show
an incorrect reading.
4. If the tire pressure is too high, remove the gauge and release air from the tireby pressing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Refit the gauge to
the valve and check the pressure.
5. Repeat the process of adding or removing air as required until the correct
tire pressure is reached.
6. Refit the valve cap.
Tire valves
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly to
prevent water or dirt from entering the valve.
Check the valves for leaks when checking the tire pressures.
Flat spots
If the vehicle is stationary for a long period when the ambient temperature is high, the
tires may form flat spots. When the vehicle is
driven, these flat spots will cause a vibration
that will steadily disappear as the tires warm
up and regain their original shape.
Tire pressures during long-term storage
Inflate tires to the maximum pressure as
indicated on the tire wall to minimize flat
spots during storage.WARNING: The tire pressures must be
reduced to the correct pressure before
the vehicle is driven.
Tire pressures at high speeds
CAUTION: Vehicle speed is capped
depending on the trim level. Operating
your vehicle at speeds over the speed
limit is not recommended. Customer is
responsible for obeying all traffic laws.
If operating the vehicle above 155mph (250
km/h) , temporarily inflate the tire to a cold
inflation pressure according to the table
below. If the conditions in the table below are
met, then all axle loads up to Front Gross Axle
Weight Rating and Rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating are acceptable.
