Battery Information
About the Vehicle BatteriesWARNING: Only a Lucid Service
Center should service the high-
voltage battery pack. Improper
handling can result in death or serious injury.
There are two types of batteries powering
your vehicle: a high-voltage lithium ion
battery pack that powers the vehicle

Charging Instructions
Safety ChecklistWARNING: If you have any concerns
with the condition of a wall outlet, the
charge port or the charging cable, DO NOT use them. Seek assistance from a
qualified electrician or a Lucid Service
Center. Using charging equipment
that is damaged or faulty may result
in injury, death, or property damage.
Before charging your vehicle, check the
following items:
-If using a domestic wall outlet, inspect
the outlet and do not use it if it appears
damaged or worn.
- Inspect the charging cable and
connector for damage, including frays or
cracks. If a part appears damaged, do not use it.
Note: If the Lucid Mobile Charging Cable
is damaged, contact a Lucid Service
Center .
- Ensure that the charging cable is fully
uncoiled before use.
- Check that the charging connector and
charge port are clean and unobstructed.
If you find any contamination or a
foreign object in either part, do not
use them and contact a Lucid Service
Center .
- Check that the charging cable and
charge port are dry. Ensure that your hands are dry, and there is no water
or other fluids in the surrounding area
(such as puddles on the ground).
Charge Port Door
The charge port door is located to the rear of
the left front wheel.
Opening and closing the door
Car doors must be unlocked for the charge
port to open. You can open and close the
charge port door using any of the following
methods:
-On the left Cockpit Panel, press the
charge port icon.
- On the Pilot Panel, select
>
DOORS and press the charge
port icon.
- On the Pilot Panel, select
>
ENERGY and press the OPEN
CHARGE PORT button.
- Use the Lucid mobile app.
- With a valid key fob detected within
6.5 feet (2 m) of the unlocked vehicle,
press the bottom of the charge port
door and it will open automatically.
The charge port door automatically
closes after unplugging the charging
cable; otherwise, you can gently push
upward on the bottom of the door until
automatic closing takes over.

Note: The vehicle cannot be driven when the
charging cable is connected to the charge
port. If you attempt to shift out of P (Park),
a notification appears on the Cockpit Panel.
Emergency manual charging cable
disconnectCAUTION: Manually releasing the
charging cable is only recommended
in instances where the charging cable
button will not release it from the
charge port.
If pressing the button on the charging cable
will not release it, the vehicle has a manual
disconnect:
1. Open the hood. See Hood Opening and
Closing .
2. Pull up on the manual disconnect lever to release the charging cable.
3. Make sure to correctly insert the manual disconnect lever to its original position
before closing the hood.
Charging Status
You can check the progress of the charging
process via the light on the charge port, the
in-vehicle displays, or the Lucid mobile app.
Charge port light
The charge port light indicates the current
charging status. Refer to the following table
to understand the meaning of each light color
and pattern.

During charging, the progress meter of the
charge port light flashes green, indicating the
current charge level of the battery pack.
1. 0% - 24%
2. 25% - 49%
3. 50% - 74%
4. 75% - 99%
When charging is completed, the light will
remain solid green.
Vehicle display status
Once charging begins, the Pilot Panel and the
Cockpit Panel will both display the current
charging status, including time remaining to
completion.

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

Multi-Point Inspection

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

WARNING: Exposure to chemicals in
some cleaners can be hazardous and
can irritate eyes and skin. Always
read and follow the manufacturer
