Opening Doors from the Outside

Opening Doors

The door handles will extend when:

  • A valid key fob is detected next to the vehicle, and Auto Lock & Unlock is enabled in the Pilot Panel.
  • A Lucid key card is detected next to the vehicle on the left driver's side center pillar.
  • A valid key fob is detected near the vehicle and the driver or front passenger door handle is pressed.
  • Press the Unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door, and twice to unlock all doors; see Using the Key Fob.
  • The Lucid 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, and Auto Lock & Unlock is enabled in the Pilot Panel.
  • A valid Lucid key card is detected within 2 inches (5 cm) of the sensor on the left driver's side center pillar.
  • The key fob lock button is pressed to lock all doors, trunk, and frunk.
  • A valid key fob is detected near the vehicle and the driver or front passenger door handle is pressed.
  • The Lucid mobile app is used to lock all doors.
  • The door handles retract and the vehicle goes to sleep after 10 minutes of being left unlocked and unoccupied.
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.
Note: Your vehicle may not be equipped with power cinch motors.

Opening Doors from the Inside



When the car is in Park, if the vehicle is unlocked, pull the release handle (highlighted above) once to open the door. The handles must be pulled twice to open the door if the vehicle is locked.
Note: This electronic release mechanism is disabled when the vehicle is in motion.

In the event that the door loses power, fully pull the release handle 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, a warning icon appears on the Center Clearview Cockpit and open doors are displayed.



Locking and Unlocking from Inside the Vehicle

The doors and liftgate can be locked and unlocked from inside the vehicle using the touchscreens on the Left Clearview Cockpit or the Pilot Panel. To lock or unlock all the doors:

  • On the Left Clearview Cockpit, press the  lock/unlock icon.
  • On the Pilot Panel, select 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.

Note: If Unlock Doors on Park setting is enabled, the vehicle will unlock automatically when shifting into Park gear. If Unlock Driver Door Only setting is enabled, only the driver door will unlock when shifting into Park gear.
Note: In the event of a crash where the airbags deploy, the doors will automatically unlock and the exterior door handles will be deployed.
Note: Doors will automatically lock when driving above 1.2 mph (2 km/h).

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 enable or disable child safety locks, tap the Child Safety Lock button in Quick Controls on the Pilot Panel.

Automatic Lock while Driving

Once the vehicle starts moving, all doors automatically lock.

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).
