Opening Doors from the Outside

Opening Doors

The door handles will extend when:

A valid key fob is detected next to the vehicle.
A valid key fob or Lucid key 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.

Note: The vehicle wake-up function is available on the front door handle when pressed. This function is not available on the rear door handle.

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 Lucid key 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 automatically close.

Opening Doors from the Inside

When the car is in Park, pull the release handle (highlighted above) once to both unlock and open the door.

Note: This electronic release mechanism is disabled when the vehicle is in motion.

In the event that 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.

Opening Doors Without Power

In the rare event that a vehicle loses auxiliary power, emergency power to open the doors is possible.

To operate the car doors without power:

Connect an external 12v power source to the jumper leads located under the wheel well liner just aft of the right rear wheel. See Connecting External 12V Power.
Note: Do not exceed 14.4v
Note: Do not connect a battery charger to the terminals.
Access to unlock the vehicle can now be accomplished with the key fob, mobile app, or NFC card.

Door Warnings

Whenever a door is open, a warning icon appears on the Glass Cockpit and open doors are displayed.

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. There is a risk of severe injury or death if a child opens the vehicle doors when the vehicle is in motion. Always ensure children are also wearing their seatbelts.

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 icon. The icon will illuminate when the 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.

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 the vehicle from the 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 they were enabled before the vehicle lost power (see Child Safety Locks).
