2022 Lucid Air Instructions for Transporters

Transporting the Vehicle

CAUTION: Towing the vehicle with the wheels on the ground or on a suspended lift may cause serious damage to the vehicle as well as generate high voltages in the vehicle’s electrical components.

The only towing method approved by Luciad for recovering or transporting an undrivable vehicle is using a flatbed tow truck.

NOTE
The warranty will not cover damage caused by any other non-approved recovery method.

Preparing the Vehicle for Transportation

CAUTION: In the unlikely situation in which the vehicle’s electrical systems are not functioning and cannot engage the parking brake, it is preferable to use wheeled dollies or skid pads under the rear wheels to prevent damage to the vehicle.

The vehicle automatically applies the parking brake whenever it is in P (Park) or detects that the key fob is no longer in the vehicle.

CAUTION: The vehicle moves silently. Never assume it is powered off. Properly immobilize.

  • Always chock wheels
  • Engage the parking brake if it is not already applied.
  • When lifting or stabilizing the vehicle, ONLY use the designated lift areas, as indicated by the location of arrows.

Tow Truck Mode

  • When loading and unloading the vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck, but the vehicle in Tow Truck Mode. This can be done on the Pilot Panel by navigating to Settings> Vehicle and toggling Tow Truck Mode.
  • Tow Truck Mode disables the emergency parking brake and shifts the vehicle into neutral to allow it to be transported on and off the flatbed truck.
  • Lucid recommends that Tow Truck Mode is deactivated once the vehicle is loaded onto the truck to re-engage the emergency parking brake. Tow Truck Mode can also be deactivated by pressing the brake pedal.

Pulling the Vehicle onto a Trailer or Transporter

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the vehicle be towed using the vehicle recovery eye. Doing so can cause significant damage to your vehicle.

CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the recovery eye can cause it to become detached while pulling the vehicle, resulting in significant damage.

WARNING:

  • If the recovery eye mount is not accessible and the vehicle is recovered by attaching to a frame, suspension, or other means, the vehicle may sustain damage. Inspect the vehicle and ensure it is safe to operate.
  • The Towing provider MUST document the method of vehicle recovery, whether using the recovery
    eye, attachment to the body, suspension, or other means.
  • Failure to do so could result in a hazardous situation when operating the vehicle.
  • The recovery eye is available in the trunk of your vehicle and located on the underside of the right-hand floor panel.

To install the recovery eye

  1. Release the rubber cover from the attachment point behind the front grille.
  2. Position the recovery eye through the bumper and rotate it clockwise into the attachment point on the body until it is fully seated. Visually check that the recovery eye is parallel to the ground to ensure correct installation.
  3. Attach the winch cable to the recovery eye.
  4. Place the vehicle in Neutral (N) or support rear wheels on a self-loading dolly (see manufacturer instructions for use).
  5. Pull the vehicle slowly onto the trailer or transporter.

NOTE: After using the recovery eye, remember to store it back in the trunk and install the rubber cover on the attachment point.

Securing the Vehicle for Transportation

When the vehicle is in position on the transporter or trailer, use chocks, and tie-down straps to secure the wheels.

To avoid damage:

  • Ensure that metal parts on tie-down straps do not contact the vehicle’s painted surfaces or the face of any wheels.
  • Do not place straps over or through the vehicle’s body panels.

CAUTION:

  • Attaching straps to the chassis, suspension, or other parts of the body can damage the vehicle.
  • After securing the vehicle on the transporter or trailer, use the Pilot Panel to select P (Park). Doing so will engage the parking brake.
