With the vehicle in P Park or N Neutral , move
the right steering column lever up or down to
select Reverse or Drive. The Center Cockpit
Panel shows the current selection. When in
Park, you must also press the brake pedal
before selecting D Drive or R Reverse.
Note: If you try to make a selection that is
prohibited due to the current vehicle speed,
a chime will sound and a message will be displayed on the Cockpit Panel.
R (Reverse)
Push the lever up and release to select R.
Reverse can only be selected when the vehicle
is stationary or its forward speed is less than
5 mph (8 km/h).
N (Neutral)
Allows the vehicle to roll freely unless the
brakes are applied. Push the lever up or down
from the currently selected gear and release
to select N.
D (Drive)
Push the lever down and release to select D.
You can only select Drive when the vehicle
is stationary or its speed is less than 5 mph
(8 km/h) in reverse.
P (Park)
When P is selected, the parking brake is automatically applied. With the vehicle
stationary, press the end of the gear selector
to select Park.
Note: P is automatically engaged when you
connect a charging cable to the charging port.
This is to prevent the vehicle frm moving while
still connected.

automatically be selected if you open the
driver

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

Limited Power Mode automatically activates
if a fault is detected by the vehicle

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

so the front wheels are pointing towards
the curb.
Brake Pad WearWARNING: Neglecting to replace worn
brake pads can damage the brake
rotors, reduce the vehicle

Lucid Stability Control
Lucid Stability ControlWARNING: No electronic system can
remove the need for safe driving
practices. Although the Lucid Stability
Control system can help to maintain
control of the vehicle under certain
driving conditions, it cannot prevent
any accident which may occur due
to unforeseen road conditions (e.g.
black ice, standing water, etc.) or
result from careless/dangerous driving
techniques.
The Lucid Stability Control system uses
multiple sensors to monitor driver inputs
and vehicle motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the system helps to perform the following functions:
-Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so
power is transferred to a drive wheel on the same axle that is not slipping.
- Controls brake pressure and traction
motor output to reduce drive wheel slip.
Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and traction motor output to
help the driver maintain control of the
vehicle in the following conditions:

ahead. The default distance maintained is
the furthest allowed. See Adjusting following
distance
Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended
for driving on dry, straight roads with no
stops or sharp curves, such as highways and
freeways.
If the adaptive Cruise Control cannot brake the vehicle safely, it will issue a takeover
request.
Note: If your vehicle stops behind another
vehicle and remains stationary for more than
10 minutes while Adaptive Cruise Control is
active, the system will disengage and apply the Emergency Parking Brake (EPB).
Setting and changing cruising speed To activate Adaptive Cruise Control, press the
DreamDrive button on the steering wheel.
See Steering Wheel DreamDrive Controls .
Note: The DreamDrive mode defaults to
Highway Assist for first-time users. When a
User Profile is active, the system will go to
the last used DreamDrive mode (Adaptive
Cruise Control or Highway Assist). If Highway
Assist is activated, press and hold the
. DreamDrive button to switch to Adaptive
Cruise Control.
