Unplugging/Cutting the first responder loop removes low-voltage power going to the high-voltage contactors inside of the high- voltage battery pack. Disconnecting the first responder loop does not disable the low-voltage battery system. Lucid Air is equipped with two low-voltage batteries for redundancy. One is located directly under the rear seat cushion and the other is inside the trunk under the right side access panel.
Page 10
Even if the first responder loop has been cut, always treat the high-voltage pack and the high-voltage components as if they are live. The pack will still have stored energy within the cells, and it is not known if other high-voltage components have been damaged. Treat every battery pack and orange cable as if there is high voltage in them.
Page 11
Battery Low-Voltage The underseat mounted low-voltage battery may be accessed by opening the rear passenger compartment door, (see Chapter 4: Access to the Occupants), and pulling up the rear seat bench cushion along the front edge until the retainer clips (Qty.2) release. The trunk-mounted low-voltage battery may be accessed by opening the trunk, (see Chapter 4: Access to the Occupants), and removing the right-hand side floor access panel.

Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors. Lucid Air is designed to deactivate high voltage in all components and cables outside of the high-voltage battery when an airbag is deployed. Care must be taken as to not cut any orange high-voltage cables or try to gain access into the battery pack. Even though the high-voltage system has shut down due to the airbags being deployed, it must always be assumed that there may be high voltage present in the high-voltage cables and components.
Page 13
WARNING Never cut or crush inflation cylinders. Cutting or compressing cylinders can cause catastrophic failure and lead to serious injury or death. WARNING The SRS control unit has a backup power reserve with a discharge time of approximately ten seconds. Do not touch the SRS control unit within ten seconds of an airbag or pre-tensioner deployment.
4. Access to the occupants Keys Lucid Air supports three types of devices to be used as keys: • Key Fob NFC Card • • Mobile App Note: The vehicle’s low-voltage system must be functional for the keys to function.

High Voltage Battery Pack Lucid Air is equipped with an under-floor mounted 900V lithium-ion battery. The battery is made up of many cells that are liquid- cooled with a glycol-based coolant. The coolant will appear orange in color and may leak from the battery pack if the pack is compromised during a vehicle collision.
Page 23
Pushing on the Floor Pan The high-voltage battery is located below the floor pan between the front and rear wheels. Never push or pry on the floor pan of the vehicle. This could lead to a breach of the high-voltage battery or damage the high-voltage cables, which can result in a fire, serious injury, or death.
Page 24
Battery Low-Voltage Lucid Air is equipped with two low-voltage batteries for redundacy. The low-voltage batteries operate the restraint system, airbags, windows, door locks, touchscreens, and interior and exterior lights. The high-voltage system maintains the low-voltage batteries. One battery is mounted under the rear seat base cusion. The second battery is mounted under an access panel on the right side of the trunk.
The below recommendations are from the Energy Security Agency (ESA), leaders in Electric Vehicle (EV) fire safety and destructive testing of lithium-ion batteries. The views and opinions Below are not those of LUCID MOTORS. Energy Security Agency (ESA) has determined the following after research and/or testing of the referenced vehicle.
Page 26
Is there the ability to let the vehicle burn in a safe controlled manner? 4. Water Supply ESA DOES NOT recommend the use of FOAM or other agents to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire in the Lucid Air. If necessary, an ABC extinguisher can be used to mitigate the fire conditions only for a short period of time. ABC and/or foam may be used on non-battery components of the vehicle.
Page 27
Extreme caution should be taken prior to any ventilation attempts or opening of doors or windows on the vehicle, as the introduction of fresh air may bring the atmospheric conditions back into the explosive range and result in an explosion if fire or other ignition sources are present.
Page 28
After the initial knock down fire departments must flow water into the vent points or openings created by the fire within the battery pack. Use a ¼ open bail or comparable amounts of water to fill vent points. Remember in Lucid Air, manufactured vent point will not be accessible.
Page 29
The amount of time that it takes for a heat signature to appear on a Lucid battery pack may be extended due to a protective, composite plate between the battery cells and the exterior enclosure.
7. In case of submersion Treat a submerged Lucid Air like any other submerged vehicle. The body of a Lucid Air does not present a greater risk of shock while it is in water. However, wear appropriate PPE when handling any submerged vehicle. Remove the vehicle from the water and continue with normal high-voltage disabling.
Vehicle Towing and Recovery Methods Lucid recommends these vehicle recovery methods: 1. High-Speed Dolly High-speed dolly systems support the vehicle’s rear wheels, while a tow vehicle supports the front wheels. This is Lucid’s preferred recovery option. Always follow recovery equipment’s manufacturer instructions for use.
Page 32
If you know or suspect that the high-voltage battery pack has been severely damaged, do not move the vehicle unless it is necessary for safety reasons to do so, and contact Lucid Customer Care. NOTE: All four wheels must remain off the ground when towing or transporting the vehicle.
Page 33
12V power is present, the Lucid Air can be pushed to clear the roadway. If a driver is present, shift the Lucid Air into Neutral (N), and push the vehicle. If a driver is not present, the Lucid Air may shift into Park (P) when it detects the driver leaving the vehicle, even if it has previously been shifted into N.
Page 34
Immobilize the Vehicle 1. Before starting any recovery operation, immobilize the vehicle by installing wheel chocks to prevent roll-away. 2. Apply the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) by pressing the button on the end of the right- hand mode selector stalk. 3.

Tow Eye Method WARNING Use the tow eye only for loading and unloading the vehicle to/from tow trucks or transports. Under no circumstances should the vehicle be towed by another vehicle along the road using the vehicle tow eye. Doing so can lead to sudden tow eye detachment, which may lead to vehicle damage, injury, or death. WARNING The tow eye should not be used in situations where the winch cable load will exceed 13.9kN/ 1426kg/ 3100lbs.
Page 36
Open the trunk and remove the tow eye from under the right-side trunk floor panel. If an external power source was used to access the trunk, remove the power source, and secure the wiring before moving the vehicle to avoid damage. Installing the Tow Eye WARNING Improper tow eye installation could result in the tow eye detaching suddenly during vehicle winching.
Page 37
2. Position the tow eye through the bumper and rotate it clockwise into the attachment point on the body until it is fully seated. The tow eye should be parallel to the ground as shown in the image to the right.
Page 38
Note: Use a 12-volt jumper pack or equivalent. Do not use “Boost” or “Starting” modes as these may exceed the electrical specifications of the vehicle jumper connection (12-14.4 Volts 50 Amps Max). Note: Lucid will not warranty nor be held liable for issues that may result from failure to follow these instructions. Continued on next page...
Page 39
3. Remove external power source and re-secure wires before moving vehicle. Failure to disconnect an external 12V system prior to continuing tow activities can lead to serious vehicle damage. For Additional Information: Towing providers with questions should call 888-99-LUCID (888-995-8243). Document Version...
