Starting and Powering Off

Starting

Your vehicle does not require a key to be
turned or a button to be pressed to start it.
If a paired key fob, valet card or phone is
recognized when the driver's door is opened,
the Cockpit and Pilot panels will power on
indicating the vehicle is ready to operate.
Accessory mode
When you first get into the vehicle and sit
in the driver's seat, the vehicle will be in
Accessory mode. The Cockpit and Pilot panels
will both power On.
The Cockpit Panel shows you the current
vehicle status, e.g. door open and battery
charge level.
In Accessory mode, all the electrical features
and controls can be operated but the vehicle
cannot be driven.
Note: If you try to select a gear in Accessory
mode without pressing the brake pedal, the
message Push Brake will be displayed.
Drive Mode
While sitting in the driver's seat, press the
brake pedal to put the car in Drive Mode.
The vehicle searches for a recognized key fob
or mobile key. If a known device is detected,
the vehicle is allowed to start. If no known
device is detected, a message displays on the
Cockpit Panel.
If a valet card is used to open the door, the
driver will be prompted to enter a PIN code
before allowing to drive. See
65.
Note: You cannot put the vehicle into Drive
Mode while a charging cable is connected.
The display on the Cockpit Panel will change
to show the Speedometer, Power meter, and
the PRND display. The indicator lights briefly
illuminate during system check.
The Ready to Drive icon is displayed
on the Center Cockpit Panel.
Driving & Operating
Starting on page
Select a gear to drive the vehicle. See
the Drive Selector on page 69.
Note: The Drive Mode enabled icon
disappears when the vehicle is in motion.
Key fob not detected
If no recognized key fob is detected inside
the vehicle when you attempt to shift out of
Park, a message appears on the Cockpit Panel
asking the driver to enter a PIN before the
vehicle can be put into Drive.
If the vehicle still fails to start, try using
another key fob or the Valet card. If the
vehicle still can't be started, please contact
Lucid.
Note: Several factors impact whether the key
fob is detected. These include a low key
fob battery, radio frequency interference from
other devices, and objects between the key
and receiver.
Key no longer detected
If your vehicle is in Drive mode and the vehicle
can no longer detect the key fob inside the
vehicle, a warning message will be displayed
on the Cockpit Panel.
Note: Always make sure you have the key fob
with you before making a journey, as you will
be unable to restart the vehicle once it has
powered off.

Powering Off

When you have finished driving and selected
P (Park), the parking brake will engage and all
systems will remain operational.
Note: If the vehicle is not in 'Park' and is
stationary, when the driver door is opened, the
vehicle will automatically shift to P (Park).
If the key fob is still detected in the area, and
the brake pedal has not been pressed, the
vehicle will power down after 15 minutes. If
the key fob is not detected in the area, the
vehicle will power down.
