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 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

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.

Tire Information
Understanding Tire Markings
Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all
tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
1. Tire category
P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles. HL indicates that the tire is a high-load rated tire.
Note: May not be shown on some tires.
2. Tire width
This three-digit number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. So, if a tire is marked P245/35R21, the tire width is 245 mm.
3. Aspect ratio
This two-digit number, also known as the profile, gives the sidewall height as a percentage of the
tire width. So, if the tire width is 245 mm, and the aspect ratio is 35, the sidewall height will be 85.75
mm.

International Tire Approval Marks
Before any tires can be sold in most countries,tire manufacturers must test and certify
that all applicable safety and performance standards are met. This can include, sidewall
branding, durability, physical dimensions,
high-speed endurance, road noise, and wet
traction.
Many tires are sold globally, so tires may be
branded with multiple approval codes from
various countries.
United States
United States Department of
Transportation (DOT)
See 8. U.S DOT tire identi

-The maximum vehicle capacity weight in
kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb).
- Maximum number of occupant seating
positions in the vehicle.
- The size of the tires originally fitted to
the vehicle.
- The cold inflation pressures for the
original specification of front and rear
tires.
The stated tire pressures provide the optimum
vehicle ride and handling characteristics for
all normal operating conditions.
Note: Do not change this label, even if you use
different tires in the future.Tire & Wheels175

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

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

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.
