2022 Lucid Air Doors
Opening Doors from the Outside
The door handles will extend when:
- A valid key fob is detected next to the vehicle.
- A valid key fob or valet card is detected next to the vehicle on the left driver’s side center pillar, and the door handle is pressed.
- The key fob is pressed twice to unlock the doors. See Using the Key Fob.
- The mobile app is used to unlock the doors.
Once a handle extends, pull up on it to open that door.
NOTE: If a door handle is not opened within two minutes of presenting, it will retract. Other opening methods discussed in this section can be used to extend it again.
NOTE: If there is a collision, all exterior door handles will present if there is still available power and the door units are not damaged.
Closing doors
The door handles retract when:
- The vehicle locks itself upon the user with the key fob(s) walking away from the vehicle.
- A valid key fob or valet card is detected within 2 inches (5 cm) of the sensor on the left driver’s side center pillar, and the door handle is pressed.
- The key fob is pressed once to lock the doors
- The mobile app is used to lock all doors.
To close a door manually, push it until it is almost closed; you will feel the power cinch motor take over. The door will then close automatically.
Opening Doors from the Inside
- When the car is in Park, pull the release handle (highlighted) once to both unlock and open the door. Note that this electronic release mechanism is disabled when the vehicle is in motion.
- In the event the door loses power, pull the release handle to full travel to open.
NOTE: TO prevent children from using the interior handles to open the rear doors, see Child Safety Locks. Rear doors will not open when child locks are engaged.
Door Warnings 
Whenever a door is open while the vehicle is in D (Drive) or R (Reverse), a warning icon appears on the Cockpit Panel, and open doors are displayed as shown.
Locking and Unlocking from Inside the Vehicle
The doors and trunk can be locked and unlocked from inside the vehicle using the touch screens on the left
Cockpit Panel or the Pilot Panel. To lock or unlock all the doors:
- On the left Cockpit Panel, press the
lock/unlock icon. - On the Pilot Panel, select
and press the lock/unlock icon. - On the Pilot Panel, select >
OPENINGS and press the lock/unlock icon.
When pressed, the icon will change to a locked or unlocked symbol, indicating the current state of the door locks.
Child Safety Locks
Your vehicle has child safety locks on both rear doors. When active, this system prevents occupants from opening rear doors using the interior door handles.
WARNING: Child safety locks should be activated whenever children are seated in the back seats for their safety. There is a risk of severe injury or death if a child operates the back doors.
WARNING: Never leave children unsupervised in any car.
NOTE: Exterior door handles will still operate according to the vehicle’s lock status.
To toggle child safety locks, use the Pilot Panel and touch > OPENINGS, and then touch the CHILD LOCK button. The CHILD LOCK button illuminates when child safety locks are activated.
Automatic Locking and Unlocking
- Once the vehicle starts moving, all doors automatically lock. The doors will remain locked when the vehicle is in Park. (You can choose to activate auto-unlock when shifting into Park under Settings.)
- If the airbags deploy, all doors will automatically unlock but remain latched. See Effects of Airbag Inflation.
Opening Interior Doors with No Power
- If the vehicle loses power, you can open every door using the interior door handles.
- To open from inside, pull the interior handle to the second detent for the manual door latch to release.
NOTE: Child safety locks will be unavailable in the event of a power loss, even if enabled before the vehicle lost power (see Child Safety Locks).
