Lucid Stability Control


Lucid Stability Control

The Lucid Stability Control system uses multiple sensors to monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the system helps perform the following functions:

  • It controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel so the power is transferred to a drive wheel on the same axle that is not slipping.
  • It controls brake pressure and traction motor output to reduce drive wheel slip.

  • It controls brake pressure at individual wheels and traction motor output to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle in the following conditions:

    • One condition is under-steering (sometimes called washout); this is when the front wheels are turned and the vehicle does not respond but continues straight, causing the front tires to lose traction.
    • The second condition is over-steering (sometimes called fishtailing); this is when the rear tire loses traction during a turn and causes the rear of the car to swing out further than intended.
Warning: No electronic system can remove the need for safe driving practices. Although the Lucid Stability Control system helps maintain control of the vehicle under certain driving conditions, it cannot prevent any accident that may occur due to unforeseen road conditions (e.g. black ice, standing water, etc.), or result from careless/dangerous driving techniques.

This indicator will flash on the center Glass Cockpit if the Lucid Stability Control system activates while driving. The indicator will remain on if a fault is detected.

Lucid Stability Control Settings

Note: Lucid Stability Control on single-motor RWD vehicles is always set to FULL and is not adjustable. For these vehicles, this section does not apply.

On the Pilot Panel, press >  Vehicle > Drive Settings, then select one of the three levels of Lucid Stability Control:

  • FULL - This setting is recommended for most driving conditions.
  • PARTIAL - Provides a more dynamic driving experience. It is not available in SMOOTH mode.
  • OFF - Disabling stability control significantly reduces traction control and should only be disabled by advanced drivers on closed courses. It is not available in SMOOTH mode.
Note: You will be prompted for confirmation when turning OFF Lucid Stability Control.

The indicator will illuminate on the Glass Cockpit throughout the drive cycle if the Lucid Stability Control system is set to PARTIAL or OFF.

Note: The Lucid Stability Control system defaults to FULL when the vehicle is restarted.
