Brakes
Braking SystemsWARNING: It is critical to occupant
safety that your braking systems are
always functioning properly. If you
experience any braking issues or
receive any fault messages regarding
the braking system, contact a Lucid
Service Center immediately.WARNING: Driving through heavy rain
or water can have a temporary adverse
effect on braking efficiency.CAUTION: Do not rest your foot on
the brake pedal while the vehicle is
in motion unless you are applying the
brakes. Resting your foot on the brake
pedal can cause premature brake
wear.
The foot pedal hydraulically-operated brakes
are electrically boosted, but only when the
vehicle is On. If the vehicle loses power when
driving, you will need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and you will experience longer
stopping distances.
If the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low, a red brake indicator
and a notification message will be
displayed on the Cockpit Panel.
See Checking Brake Fluid on page 157.
If the yellow brake indicator displays on the Cockpit Panel, a brake
system fault has been detected.
Contact a Lucid Service Center as
soon as possible.
Note: It

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

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.
