Wiper Blades and Washer Jets
Checking the Wiper BladesCAUTION: Only use cleaning products
that have been approved for use
on automotive glass and rubber.
Inappropriate products may cause
damage, smearing, or increased glare
on the screen.
You should periodically check and clean the
wiping edge of the wiper blade. Clean the blade edge using a soft cloth or sponge,
and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or windshield
washer fluid. Also, check the blade rubber for
cracks, splits, or roughness. If any damage
is found, replace the blade immediately to
prevent damage to the glass.
Replacing Wiper Blades
Note: For optimum performance, replace the
wiper blades at least every year.
Life expectancy of wiper blades can
vary, depending on geographical area
and frequency of use. Poor wiper blade
performance can result in “chattering” (that is, skipping across the glass), or leaving behind
marks, streaks of water, or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace them as needed.
Replacing the front wiper blades
CAUTION: Only install wiper blades
that are the same length and identical to the original specification. Failure to
do so may cause poor performance and damage to the wiper system.1. Open the hood. See Hood Opening and
Closing .
2. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
3. Depress the locking tab while sliding the wiper blade away from the arm and
remove.
4. Installation of the new wiper blade is the reverse of removal. You should be able
to hear and feel it click into place on the
wiper arm.
5. Gently lower wiper blade back on to the windshield.
Cleaning Washer Jets
WARNING: Do not operate the washer
jets during cleaning. Windshield
washer fluid may cause irritation
to the eyes and skin. Always
read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturer

If a washer jet nozzle becomes clogged
with debris or build-up, its performance can be reduced. There are several methods forremoving any blockage:
-Dip a small, soft-bristled brush (such as
an old toothbrush) in warm water and
scrub in and around the nozzle to clear
away any dirt or debris.
- Use a can of compressed air to blow a
concentrated stream of air into the clog
to loosen it, and to blow away any debris from the nozzle.
- For more serious clogs, slide a thin piece
of wire into the nozzle to clear any
blockages.

Cabin Air Filter
Replacing the Cabin Air Filters
Your vehicle has two cabin air filters installed
that prevents pollen, industrial fall-out, road
dust, and other particles from entering the vehicle via the vents.
The cabin air filters should be replaced
every year or every 12,000 miles (19,310 kn),
whichever comes sooner. Failure to replace the air filters will result in reduced air flow
into the vehicle.
Note: To gain the maximum benefit of the
cabin air filters, it is suggested the filters are
changed prior to the pollen season.
Note: If you operate your vehicle in an
environment where there is more dust or
sand in the air, the air filters may require
replacement more frequently.

Vehicle Care
Cleaning the ExteriorWARNING: Never charge your vehicle
while washing it. Unplug the charging
cable and close the charge port cover.
Liquids entering the charge port while
the cable is plugged in could result
in serious personal injury, as well
as damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.WARNING: After washing the vehicle,
wet brakes can result in longer
stopping distances. To dry the brakes,
drive the vehicle slowly while gently
pressing the brake pedal a few times
to warm up the brakes.
Your vehicle should be washed regularly to
preserve the finish and maintain its overall
appearance.
To protect the paint surfaces, wash your
vehicle as soon as possible:
-When mud, dust, soot, or dirt builds up
on the surface
- After driving on coastal roads or winter
roads treated with salt
- When corrosive contaminants such as
tree sap, bird droppings, or bugs collect
on the surface
- After a rainfall to prevent possible
damage from acid rain
Environmental: It is illegal to pollute
drains, rivers, and waterways. Some cleaning
products contain chemicals that are
hazardous to the environment. Used toxic
chemicals must be disposed of at authorized
waste disposal sites only. Always take
precautions to prevent fluids from spilling.
Hand washing
CAUTION: Avoid using rough or
tightly-napped cloths (such as
washing mitts) on the vehicle, as
these can be abrasive enough to
damage the finish.CAUTION: Avoid washing your vehicle
in direct sunlight. Water and cleansers
dry faster on a hot surface and can
leave water spots or stains.
When washing your vehicle by hand, follow
these steps:
-Rinse the entire vehicle first to remove
as much excess dirt and dust as
possible and reduce the risk of
scratches from washing.
- Wash using a clean, soft cloth or sponge
and cold or lukewarm water mixed with
a mild car soap.
- Rinse your cleaning tools often to avoid
rubbing debris into the finish, especially
if your vehicle is exceptionally dirty.
- Do not aim water hoses directly
at window, door, or hood seals, or
through wheel apertures onto brake
components.
- After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with clean, cool water until
all the soap has been removed.
- To avoid leaving water spots on the
finish, dry the vehicle thoroughly with a
chamois or cotton cloth.
Removing tar spots
CAUTION: Do not use acidic, abrasive,
or petroleum-based cleansers, as
these can damage the vehicle

Automatic car washesCAUTION: Do not use a car wash
that applies cleansers containing
acid. Acid can react with the plastic
in some vehicle components and
damage them. Always check with your
car wash to confirm that acid is not
used.CAUTION: Leave the windshield
wipers in the off position while in a car wash to avoid damaging them.
Lucid recommends using only touch-free
automated car washes that do not bring
brushes or other cleaning tools in direct
contact with the vehicle body.
Note: Vehicle or paint damage caused by
using an automatic car wash will not be
covered under the vehicle warranty.
Pressure washers
CAUTION: Do not use a pressure
washer with a circular jet or bristle
attachment, as it could damage the
surface finish of components.CAUTION: Pressure washers that
have a pressure exceeding 1,200 PSI
(82 bar) can damage or even remove
vehicle paint if used improperly.CAUTION: Do not use a hot or steam
pressure washer with a temperature
exceeding 120
