Touchscreen
Lucid Air can also be identified by a retractable touch screen located where the dash meets the center console. If the display is in the
stowed position, a storage cubby will be visible in its place. Lucid Air also has a wide screen instrument cluster display which is
divided into three sections.
If the vehicle airbags have deployed, touchscreens may not be accessible due to interuption of low voltage power. External low
voltage power should not be applied after an accident due to the possiblity of a low voltage electrical fire. If low-voltage power is
present, the touch screen may be lowered from the stowed position by touching the arrow icon on the center lower edge of the
display.
Rear Touchscreen
Lucid Air also has a rear touch screen on the aft portion of the center console facing the rear seats.

2. Immobilization / stabilization / lifting
Immobilization
Chock Wheels
Lucid Air moves silently, so never assume it is powered off. Lucid Air could potentially be free to roll if the parking brake is not
engaged. Always chock the wheels.
Putting the Vehicle in Park
Lucid Air moves silently, so never assume it is powered off. Pressing the accelerator pedal while the Lucid Air is in Drive or Reverse
may result in extremely rapid acceleration. Press the button located on the end of the Drive mode selector stalk, which is located on
the right side of the steering column. Once in Park, a “P” will be indicated along the lower edge of the center gauge cluster, and the
electronic parking brake should engage to immobilize the rear wheels.

First Responder Loop
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. Both low-voltage battery negative cables (2) should be disconnected or cut. If time and/or access
do not allow for removal, then cut both negative cables. Both must be disconnected or cut in order to disable the low-voltage
battery system, which powers the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) control unit.
NOTE: Once the low-voltage battery negative cables have been cut, power accessories will no longer operate. This includes items,
such as exterior door handles, windows, seats, and the steering column. It will also not be possible to disable the Electronic Parking
Brake System.
1. First Responder Cut Loop
2. Low Voltage Battery (qty 2)
The first responder cut loop is located under the hood on the left-hand side near the suspension strut tower and is concealed by the
cowl cover. To remove the cover, grasp the rear edge and pull up.

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. Never cut an orange high-voltage cable or cut into the
battery pack.
There is no way to instantaneously discharge the energy inside of the battery pack when a vehicle is in an accident. There is stored
energy in the high-voltage battery cells. Caution must be used to not damage the battery pack, in the case of vehicle extrication
operations.
Vehicle Charging
In the case of an emergency incident while charging that involves collision, electrical failure, or fire, additional steps should be taken
to isolate the charging station. If the charging station is equipped with an e-stop, it should be applied. If an e-stop is not present or
accessible, property management should be accessed to locate the main service disconnect and lockout/tagout breaker. After it has
been located, immediately disconnect the EVSE handle at the vehicle by pressing the release button on the charging cable handle. If
you are unable to disconnect via the handle button, the manual release can be actuated by opening the hood and pulling the manual
release lever while unplugging the cable.
WARNING Do not cut the high-voltage charging cable. If the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is
unable to be disconnected from the vehicle, ensure that the EVSE is de-energized before proceeding. Refer
to the EVSE manufacturer’s instructions or Local Power Utility Agency. Cutting an energized cable may lead
to serious injury or death.

Airbags
WARNING The SRS unit has an internal energy reserve, which enables it to remain powered for up to five minutes
after Low-Voltage battery power has been disconnected. The SRS unit will remain powered from the vehicle after it
deploys any airbag or pre-tensioner. Do not touch the SRS unit while it is powered.
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. The battery cells within the battery pack will have stored energy and
should not be compromised with rescue tools.
The First Responder Loop and Low-Voltage Battery negative cables (2) should be cut in order to open the low voltage circuit
that provides power to the airbags. See the First Responder Loop section for more details.

Note: In the event that the hood cannot be
opened electrically and the manual release cables
are inaccesible, it may be necessary to cut out the
two hood strikers to gain access to the first
responder loop. Striker locations are indicated by
the white dots in this image.
No-Cut Zones
Lucid Air has areas that are defined as “no-cut zones” due to the presence of high voltage, gas struts, SRS components, or other
hazards. Never cut or crush in these areas. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. The “no-cut zones” are shown in pink.
WARNING Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, always assume that all high-voltage components are
energized. Cutting, crushing, or touching high-voltage components can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING Always use appropriate tools, such as a hydraulic cutter, and always wear appropriate PPE when cutting the
Lucid Air. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
