Vehicle Hold; Parking Brake - Lucid Air Owner's Manual

Vehicle Hold

Vehicle Hold controls brake settings, and can
keep 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.
Driving & Operating
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 use
CAUTION: 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
