Your Lucid Gravity with the towing package comes equipped with a 2" detachable hitch receiver that is capable of towing a trailer and supporting rear-mounted accessories. The towing package also comes with an electrical connector that syncs the vehicle to the brake and light systems of the trailer or other rear accessories.

Hitch Cover

Removing the Hitch Cover:

1. Loosen the three fasteners on the trailer hitch cover by turning them 90 degrees counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver, then pull down the fasteners.
   Note: The fasteners are captive to the cover, do not attempt to remove them from the hitch cover.

   
   
   

2. Carefully pull the cover rearwards away from the vehicle to remove it.

   
   
   

Installing the Hitch Cover:

1. Align the hitch cover tabs to the slots.
2. Push forward on the hitch cover until it sits flush.
3. Turn the fasteners 90 degrees clockwise so they lay flush with the hitch cover.

Hitch Receiver

Connecting the Detachable Hitch Receiver:

1. Remove the hitch cover from the hitch housing.
2. Make sure that the key is in the locking cylinder turned counterclockwise so the locking cylinder can turn into the unlocked position. The locking cylinder will not be able to turn away from the locked position without the key in it.
3. Hold the hitch from the bottom, then align the triangle guides on the side of the hitch with the same cutouts inside of the hitch housing.

   
   
   

4. Make sure that the red mark on the locking cylinder aligns with the white dot on the hitch receiver. Plug the hitch receiver into the hitch housing unit until you hear a click sound and the locking cylinder reads that it is in the locked position.
5. Turn the key clockwise then remove it from the locking cylinder and push down on to the hitch to make sure it does not move or come out.

   
   
   

Disconnecting the Detachable Hitch Receiver:

1. Insert the key then turn it counterclockwise into the unlocked position.
2. Take hold of the bottom of the hitch, pull on the locking cylinder, and turn it clockwise until the red mark on the cylinder aligns with the white dot on the hitch receiver. Be sure not to drop the hitch receiver. The hitch should detach from the socket and fall out of the hitch housing unit.
3. Install the hitch cover, then store the detachable hitch receiver in its case.

Rear Attachments Capacity

Ensure that the total load of the rear-mounted accessory does not exceed 119 lbs (54 kg), and that the total load's center of gravity does not extend beyond 24" (63 cm) from the hitch receiver's pinhole.

Rear Attachment Optimization

Activating Rear Attachment Optimization will modify your DreamDrive settings to accommodate rear-mounted accessories. Rear Attachment Optimization will automatically turn on if the system detects that a rear-mounted bike rack or cargo rack is connected.

To manually activate Rear Attachment Optimization on the Pilot Panel, go to:

Settings > DreamDrive > Rear Attachment Optimization.

After removing the rear attachments from the vehicle, remember to turn off the Rear Attachment Optimization in Settings to restore DreamDrive features.

Activating Tow Mode

• To manually activate TOW mode, go to the Pilot Panel >Car Controls >TOW .
• TOW mode will automatically activate when an electrical connection between the trailer and vehicle is established through the electrical connector.

Hitch View and Blind Spot Display

Hitch View is available as an optional viewing angle in the Rear View Monitor display while Rear View Monitor is active. For more information, see Rear View Monitoring.

Blind Spot Display will display both vehicle side camera views on the center Clearview Cockpit while TOW mode is active and the vehicle is in R (Reverse). For more information, see Blind Spot Display.

Light Check

The light check procedure ensures that trailer lights have been properly connected and will work in sync with the vehicle.

• After establishing an electrical connection with the vehicle, the light check feature will automate the lights on the trailer to play repeatedly until you stop the light check feature. Lucid recommends that you inspect the lights from the outside to ensure they are functional.
• You can stop the light check sequence by pressing Finish Light Check on the Pilot Panel or Mobile App.

Towing Guidelines

• Verify that the trailer's coupler is closed and locked to the tow ball.
• Connect the trailer's chains to the vehicle's chain loops, crossing them under the tongue.
• Ensure that the trailer's electrical connector is connected to the vehicle.
• Make sure that all lights or signals work properly and are in sync with the vehicle.
• Check the trailer brakes are operational by manually applying the trailer brakes before driving on major roads or highways.
• Always drive cautiously and refrain from attempting sudden movements or sharp turns while a trailer is attached. Towing a trailer requires additional care while driving on the road.
• Always make sure to increase the following distance between the vehicle and other vehicles driving ahead. Towing a trailer increases the vehicle’s stopping distance when braking to a stop or slowing down.
• Be aware of all local and national laws pertaining to towing before towing a trailer of any kind.
• Always be vigilant while towing a trailer and avoid situations that may require sudden heavy braking.

Trailer Towing Capacity

Tongue Weight Capacity

Ball Mount

The hitch receiver supports a ball mount with a rise between 0” (0 cm) and 0.89” (2.2 cm) from the top inside edge of the hitch receiver to the base of the tow ball. Drop mounts may not be used. The center of the ball must not be positioned more than 7.5” rearward of the hitch receiver’s pinhole.

Warning: Do not use a weight distributing hitch. Only weight carrying hitches should be used.

Connecting a Ball Mount:

1. Insert the ball mount into the hitch receiver.
2. Make sure the ball mount hole is aligned with the hitch receiver hole.
3. Slide the hitch pin into the aligned hitch receiver and ball mount hole.
4. Insert the cotter pin at the end of the hitch pin.

Disconnecting a Ball Mount:

1. Remove the cotter pin from the hitch pin, then slide the hitch pin out from the ball mount and hitch receiver hole.
2. Slide the ball mount out of the hitch receiver assembly.

Electrical Connections

Trailer lights and brakes will be powered by the vehicle through the electrical connector located in the hitch housing unit. After an electrical connection is established with the trailer, the vehicle will activate TOW mode.

Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

The vehicle comes with an integrated trailer brake controller that works with trailers equipped with electric brakes. After connecting the trailer's electrical connector to the vehicle and setting the trailer brake controller gain, the brake controller will automatically apply the trailer's brakes in proportion to the vehicle's brakes. The trailer brakes can also be manually activated by pulling down on the gear shift lever. Trailer brake gain levels will display and be adjustable on the Pilot Panel when TOW mode is activated.

Trailer Brake Gain

Setting Trailer Brake Gain:

The brake gain levels range from 0-10 with the lower gain settings providing lighter braking for lightly loaded trailers while higher gain settings provide stronger braking for heavily loaded trailers.

1. Drive at a constant 15 mph (24 km/h) on dry, flat asphalt and manually apply the trailer brakes using the gear lever. Listen for the trailer tires locking up.

   

2. If the trailer tires do not lock up, stop the vehicle, then increase the gain and repeat step 1. If the trailer tires do lock up, stop the vehicle, then reduce the gain and repeat step 1.
3. The proper gain setting for the trailer is the highest gain level at which the trailer tires do not lock up on dry, flat asphalt.

Impact on Range

When towing a trailer, the increased weight and additional drag of the trailer will reduce the drivable range from the original range estimation. Plan your trip distance and charging stops to adjust to the new range of the vehicle while towing a trailer.

Trailer Sway Mitigation

If the trailer begins to sway excessively, the trailer sway mitigation will automatically apply the brakes on the vehicle. An alert is displayed on the Clearview Cockpit notifying you to slow down and check load distribution to mitigate trailer sway.
