How to Check and Adjust the Tire Pressure in Lucid Gravity
Lucid Gravity Tire Pressure Overview
Your journey to adventure in your Lucid Gravity starts with your tires. Making sure they are filled to the correct tire pressure helps extend their useful life, maximize your vehicle’s performance while optimizing its range, and help ensure safe vehicle operation. Checking and adjusting your tire pressure is easy, and your Lucid Gravity’s advanced tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) displays current tire pressure information both in the vehicle and in the Lucid mobile app and can alert you when your tire pressure is below the recommended PSI.¹
Tire Pressure Best Practices
Always check and adjust tire pressure when the tires are cold, meaning that you haven’t driven your vehicle for at least three hours or have only driven less than a mile.
If you check when your tires are warm, the pressure may be higher than the recommended value due to normal temperature-related changes. Check the pressure again once your tires are cold for an accurate reading.
If an amber tire pressure alert appears on your display, check the affected tire when it is safe to do so.
Consider having a Lucid-approved Tire Repair Kit handy in case you need it to temporarily repair a punctured tire with low pressure.
Checking Your Tire Pressure Digitally
Check your tire pressure on the Pilot Panel by tapping Settings > Vehicle > Maintenance > Tires & Wheels. Your TPMS reads and displays your current tire pressure once you have driven your Lucid Gravity over 13 miles per hour. If you need to, take a quick spin (under a mile) to get an accurate reading. Check the Recommended tab to see the recommended cold tire pressure for your Lucid Gravity. This recommended pressure will also be listed on the sticker on the inside of the driver’s side door.
Note: Your recommended tire pressure varies according to trim and tire size. Verify the recommended tire pressure for all situations in your Owner’s Manual.
Checking Your Tire Pressure Manually
Always check your tire pressure in a safe place, away from other moving vehicles. Have a tire pressure gauge handy. We recommend checking your tire pressure at least monthly and before longer drives.
Remove the cap from the valve on your tire.
Firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve until you get a pressure reading.
Compare it to the recommended pressure for your Lucid Air.
Adjust as necessary following the steps below.
Replace the valve cap and turn it until it is securely in place.
Adjusting Your Tire Pressure
Always adjust your tire pressure in a safe place, away from other moving vehicles. Have a tire pressure gauge handy to check your tire pressure as you add or remove air.
If using a digital air pump, set the target PSI on the display before you begin. If using a manual air pump, alternate between adding air for a few seconds, then checking the pressure with the gauge. Never fill a tire over the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire.
To add air, firmly press the air pump hose nozzle straight onto the tire value. Press until you don’t hear a hissing sound or, for automatic pumps, you hear air flowing into the tire.
Continue until the digital pump automatically turns off, or you have filled the tire to the correct pressure and have verified it using your gauge. If you overfilled your tire, release a little air by pressing the pin in the middle of the valve until you hear a hiss, which is the sound of the air leaving the tire.
Check the pressure one final time. Screw the plastic valve cap down until it is secure to lock out dirt, debris, or liquid, and help prevent slow leaks.
Lucid Gravity Punctured Tire Guidance
Lucid Gravity Punctured Tire Overview
Your Lucid Gravity is equipped with tubeless tires that may not immediately leak if they are punctured, especially if the object stays in the tire. However, driving with a punctured tire is dangerous. If you feel a sudden vibration or changes to how your Lucid Gravity is riding or handling, your tire may have been punctured. If you suspect your tire is punctured:
Slow down and drive slowly to a safe place to pull over.
Inspect your tires for damage or foreign objects.
If you notice a tire is underinflated but not damaged, try using the Tire Repair Kit.
If you are unable to identify the cause of the issue, contact Lucid’s 24/7 Roadside Assistance for towing to the nearest Service Center.
How to Care for Your Lucid Gravity Wheel Inserts
Lucid Gravity Wheel Inserts Overview
Some Lucid Gravity wheels come equipped with custom wheel inserts that are designed to reduce aerodynamic drag while driving, improving your estimated range. The Gravity Voyager wheel (both the 20″ and 21″ base) features wheel inserts that are not intended to be removed. They are attached with screws and removing them is not recommended.
We recommend removing these inserts before longer spirited driving sessions to allow your brakes to cool more effectively. They must be removed before driving at speeds greater than 120 mph (193 km/h), because at these speeds, they could come loose and be ejected away from the wheel.
Warning: High-speed driving is dangerous and should only be done where legally permitted by appropriately trained and experienced drivers. Always obey all traffic laws. Do not drive at speeds that are greater than what is reasonable or safe for current conditions, such as weather, visibility, road surface, the presence of other vehicles, objects, or pedestrians. Never drive at speeds that endanger the safety of people or property.
Note: Vehicle damage sustained during track or competition use is not covered by Lucid's New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
How to Remove One-Piece Wheel Inserts from Lucid Gravity
Follow these steps to remove single-piece wheel inserts from your Lucid Gravity if you are planning a spirited driving or track session, or if the wheel insert needs to be replaced. Driving without wheel inserts may reduce your estimated range due to increased drag.
Use the tips of your fingers to locate the wheel insert clips that connect each spoke of the insert to the wheel. These clips are located just inside the vents on each spoke, near the tire toward the outer edge of the wheel.
Starting with one spoke, pull on the outer edge of the insert next to the clip to release it from the wheel. Use care, as pulling too aggressively could damage the clips and prevent the insert from being fully re-attached.
Repeat for each spoke until all of them are released.
Once all the spokes are released, gently remove the insert from the wheel by pulling it away from the center.
Store removed inserts in a safe place, taking care not to damage the clips. When you’re ready to reinstall the inserts, gently clean the clips and wheel if necessary before reinstallation.
How to Install One-Piece Wheel Inserts for Lucid Gravity
Your wheels come equipped with wheel inserts installed. If you removed them, follow these steps to re-attach them to reduce drag and maximize your range.
Before reinstalling your wheel inserts, make sure to thoroughly clean both the wheel and the insert with water and a microfiber cloth to remove all dirt and debris. Dirt stuck under the insert can scratch the wheels.
Locate the tire valve stem hole on the wheel insert and line it up with the valve stem on the wheel, otherwise the insert will not fit into place.
Starting from any spoke and working clockwise, secure all the spokes to the wheel by making sure each one clips into place.
Install the center of the insert by pressing it onto the wheel until you hear and feel it clip into place.
Check that all the spokes are securely attached by pulling gently on the insert and ensuring that no part pulls away from the wheel.
Look at each spoke from an angle: they should all be sitting flush with the metal surface of the wheel. If not, the insert is not properly attached. Remove it and try again. Failure to attach trim inserts properly could cause them to fall off while driving.
If the Insert is at or above the surface of the surrounding wheel (shown above) the insert is NOT properly seated.
Seating the wheel insert correctly may require substantial force.
How to Replace Missing or Damaged Lucid Gravity Wheel Inserts
Your Lucid Gravity wheel inserts help you maximize your range, so it’s a good idea to replace them if they go missing or get damaged.
You can purchase replacement inserts from your nearest Service Center. Simply schedule an appointment in the Lucid mobile app or give your preferred Service Center a call at the number listed in the app.
How to Maintain the Wiper Blades in Your Lucid Gravity
Lucid Gravity Wiper Blades Overview
Your wiper blades are designed to be extra durable, and with regular maintenance, they can last even longer. You should regularly check your wiper blades and clean the wiping edge to improve performance and visibility. Over time, wiper blades may show signs of wear or damage, leading to chattering, skipping, streaking, or improper cleaning, affecting your ability to see the road.
Inspecting Lucid Gravity Wiper Blades
Check the rubber wiping edge of your blades often for dirt, cracks, splits, or roughness. Clean any stubborn grime with a microfiber cloth and either rubbing alcohol or windshield washer fluid.
If you find the wiping edge is damaged in any way, replace the blades to prevent damage to your windshield and ensure proper visibility.
Replacing Lucid Gravity Wiper Blades
Wiper blades can wear out over time, especially in certain climates or when used frequently. Checking them regularly is the best way to determine when it’s time to replace them.
When you need new wipers, purchase those specifically engineered for your Lucid Gravity from the Lucid Store here.
To replace your wiper blades:
Open the frunk to gain easier access to the wipers.
Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
Push the locking tab in, then slide the detachable wiper blade off the arm.
Orient the new blade in the same direction as the one you just removed.
Slide the new blade into place on the arm until it clicks.
Gently lower the wiper arm and new blade back onto the windshield and close the frunk.
How to Clean the Washer Jets in Lucid Gravity
Lucid Gravity Windshield Washer Jet Overview
From time to time, your windshield wipers might not completely clean your windshield or may leave streaks. This is most often due to old wiper blades that need to be replaced, but another potential cause may be blocked or clogged windshield washer fluid jets. Cleaning these jets regularly can help ensure proper visibility and prolong the life if your wiper blades.
To clean the washer jets:
Open the frunk to gain easier access to the wipers.
Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
Locate the washer jet on the side of the wiper blade facing the windshield, where it attaches to the wiper arm.
Use a small, soft-bristled brush, like an old toothbrush, and warm water to scrub the jet and remove any debris or buildup.
As a secondary method, use a can of compressed air to blow a stream of air into a clog to loosen any debris or buildup, followed by the brush.
For more serious clogs, use a small piece of flexible wire and insert it into the jet nozzle to clear the blockage. When possible, pull any debris out rather than push it back into the jet. Do not push too hard or move the wire around forcefully to avoid damaging the jet.
Return the wiper arm to the starting position, close the frunk, then test the windshield washing feature in your vehicle. Let the windshield washing fluid spray for a little longer than usual to ensure the jets are unobstructed.
How to Clean and Care for Your Lucid Gravity
Lucid Gravity Exterior Cleaning Overview
Driving a clean electric vehicle doesn’t just make you more confident behind the wheel, it can also help keep your EV in good working order longer. That’s because the environment can take a toll on your Lucid Gravity’s exterior, especially if you’re adventuring the way Lucid Gravity is designed to adventure:
Mud, dust, and dirt can build up on your vehicle’s cameras and sensors and undercarriage
Salt from the ocean or winter driving can build up and accelerate oxidation and cause metal components to rust
Tree sap, bird droppings, and dead bugs can corrode your paint
Regular washing helps mitigate the effects of the environment and keep your vehicle looking good and driving well.
Lucid Gravity and Automatic Car Washes
Only visit touchless car washes that do not use acidic cleaners. Acidic cleaners can damage plastic components in vehicles, and the tools and brushes used at some car washes are aggressive enough to potentially damage your vehicle and paint.
Lucid Gravity and Pressure Washers
Pressure washers can also damage your vehicle and its components when improperly used. We recommend using a regular garden hose with a sprayer attachment, if needed.
Lucid Gravity and Hand Washing
Washing your vehicle by hand is the best way to clean it without damaging any delicate components:
Rinse your vehicle with water to remove dirt and dust. Using even a clean cloth to wipe your vehicle can scratch the paint if there is still dirt present.
Using lukewarm water and a mild automotive soap with a soft cloth or sponge, wash all the parts of your vehicle, especially the windshield, lights, cameras, and sensors. See where these sensors are located in your Owner’s Manual.
Rinse your vehicle with a gentle stream of water but without aiming the stream into vents, seams, or other delicate areas to remove all soap or other cleaning products.
Thoroughly dry your Lucid with a cotton cloth or chamois to avoid leaving any water spots on the finish.
Clean any stubborn spots with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth. Wash the alcohol away with water as soon as you remove the stain.
Use a hose to thoroughly remove any salt and dirt from the underbody and anywhere else they might accumulate, like the wheel wells.
Regular waxing helps protect paint. We recommend polishing your vehicle before reapplying any wax.
Lucid Gravity Interior Cleaning Overview
We recommend regularly inspecting and cleaning your Lucid Gravity’s interior to keep everything looking and smelling fresh while also identifying potential areas that require attention or service.
General Interior Cleaning
Clean vehicle surfaces with a non-solvent-based cleaner designed for auto detailing and a clean microfiber cloth. Test cleaners in an inconspicuous area before using them for general cleaning. Abrasive cleaners or cloths could scratch or otherwise damage surfaces.
Use appropriate products for the type of surface you are cleaning, such as a leather cleaner and leather protector for genuine leather seats to maintain color, prevent abrasions, and keep leather looking as smooth and rich as the day your Lucid was delivered. When in doubt, use a lint-free cloth dampened with warm water and avoid excess moisture, especially on absorbent surfaces like your seat cushions.
When to Contact a Service Center
If you notice any part or component that is not working as expected or is showing signs of damage, our Service team would be happy to assist you. Damage or cracks on your airbag cover should be inspected right away.
How to Replace Your Lucid Gravity Key Fob Battery
Lucid Gravity Key Fob Battery Overview
Over time, your key fob battery will need to be replaced. When the battery is low, you will see a Key Fob Battery Low notification on the Clearview Cockpit. When you see this notification, replace the battery in a timely manner to ensure uninterrupted key fob use and vehicle access.
Your key fob uses a CR2450 battery. Keep these batteries away from children, as they can present a choking hazard and are dangerous if swallowed. Always dispose of used batteries properly.
To replace your key fob battery:
Remove the battery cover by gently inserting a small, flathead screwdriver into the opening between the battery cover and the key fob body on the keychain end of the key fob. Press gently until the battery cover pops off.
Remove the old battery.
Place the new battery in the key fob with the + side facing upwards. Avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery on either side, since finger marks can affect conductivity and reduce battery life. If you do touch the battery, wipe it clean before placing it in the key fob.
Replace the battery cover by putting the end opposite the key chain in first, then gently pressing it until it clicks into place and is flush with the key fob body.
How to Access and Drive Your Lucid Gravity With Your Key Card
Lucid Gravity Key Card Overview
Your Lucid Gravity comes equipped with a Lucid key card that can serve as a useful backup method for accessing your vehicle if your key fob battery is depleted or if your key fob isn’t handy. You can also loan it to a friend, valet driver, or service professional at a Lucid Service Center to allow them to access your vehicle.
Your Lucid key card relies on near-field communication (NFC) to communicate with your vehicle, authenticate the key holder, and authorize driving. This technology relies on proximity, not battery power, to work.
To lock or unlock the doors using the Lucid key card, hold the card to the NFC icon on the center pillar behind the driver’s side door.
To authorize driving when accessing the vehicle with a key card, you will need to tap it to the wireless charging pad on the vehicle console. Press and hold the brake pedal and hold the key on the charging pad until driving is authorized.
How to Install Over-the-Air Updates in Lucid Gravity
Lucid Gravity OTA Overview
Your Lucid Gravity is a software-defined vehicle, which means it gets better the longer you own it, thanks to the software updates we deliver wirelessly over the air. Commonly called software updates, over-the-air updates, or simply just “OTAs,” these packages provide fixes, enhancements, and brand-new features for your Lucid EV.
OTA Update Best Practices
For the best OTA experience, connect to a secure, reliable Wi-Fi network before starting an update.
Try to install or schedule software updates as soon as you see an update is available. OTAs deliver important new software to your vehicle, and you can only install them one at a time. If you fall behind, it's harder to take full advantage of your EV and its ever-improving features.
You will be unable to use your vehicle during software updates, but you can easily schedule your update to happen when you aren’t using it, like overnight.
OTAs will not start if you are plugged in to a DC fast charger. If you are fast charging when an update is scheduled, it will be canceled.
Level 2 vehicle charging is paused during OTA updates. Many home chargers, like the Lucid Connected Home Charging Station, will start charging again automatically when the update is complete. If charging doesn’t start, just unplug and plug in again.
Viewing Your Lucid Gravity Release Notes
Every OTA update comes with release notes to let you know all about the enhancements and changes in the new software.
You can read the release notes for all the OTA updates that apply to your Lucid Gravity in your Owner’s Portal after you log in with your Lucid ID.
You can also read them in your vehicle by going to Settings > Software and tapping Release Notes.
The release notes are also available in the Lucid mobile app. From the Home screen, tap the Software Update tile, then tap Release Notes.
Starting a Lucid Gravity Software Update
When an OTA update is available, you’ll see a notification on the Clearview Cockpit, on the Pilot Panel, and in the Lucid mobile app. Every update will include an estimated update time. This estimate is important because while your update is installing, you will be unable to use your vehicle, and some updates may take longer than others, especially those delivering new features.
You can always schedule an update to install at a convenient time when you aren’t using your vehicle, like while you’re working or sleeping.
To start an update in your Lucid Gravity:
On the Pilot Panel, go to Settings > Software, then tap Install Now.
Read the Before You Start instructions, then tap Next.
If any of the preconditions for the update to start are not met, you will see them listed.
Once all the conditions are met, a two-minute timer will start to give you time to exit your vehicle.
If you exit and lock the doors before the timer reaches zero, the update will begin immediately.
If you exit but don’t lock the doors manually, they will lock on their own when the timer reaches zero.
If you need to cancel the update, tap Cancel before the countdown reaches zero. Once the update has started, it is not possible to pause or cancel it.
The update will start installing, and you can track its progress on your vehicle displays and in the Lucid mobile app.
When the update is complete, you will be notified in your vehicle and in the Lucid mobile app.
You can also start an update from the Lucid mobile app:
Open the app and scroll down to the Software Update tile. Whenever an update is available, the tile will say Vehicle Update Available.
Tap the tile and read about the update.
When you’re ready to install it, tap Install Now.
If any of the preconditions are not met, you will see them listed. Once they are met, a countdown timer will start, just like in your vehicle.
When the timer reaches zero, the OTA will start installing.
Once it’s complete, you will see a notification in the app.
Scheduling a Lucid Gravity Software Update
Because you will be unable to use your Lucid Gravity while the software is updating, you can schedule your updates for a time when you won’t be using your vehicle up to 48 hours in advance. To schedule your update, follow these steps:
On the Pilot Panel, go to Settings > Software and tap Schedule.
Read the Before You Start instructions, then tap Next.
Use the date and time picker to select when you would like your update to install. Swipe up or down to select a day, hour, and minute, and whether your selected time is AM or PM.
Double-check your selection, then tap Schedule.
After you tap Schedule, you will be brought back to the main OTA screen, which will display your scheduled update time.
If you decide that you would like to ignore the scheduled time and install the update immediately, just tap Install Now on the Pilot Panel or in the Lucid mobile app. You can also cancel the scheduled update at any time by tapping Cancel or edit the time by tapping the Pencil icon and selecting a new time.
