Hood Interior Emergency Release


Hood Opening and Closing

The Hood is also referred to as the Front Trunk or Frunk.

Note: Always make sure that the hood is fully closed and secure before driving. Failure to properly secure the hood can result in sudden or unexpected hood opening which could lead to an accident causing serious injury or death.

To open the hood, on the Pilot Panel, tap the icon .

In the case of an unlatched hood, the red Door Open warning indicator will appear on the Clearview Cockpit. If this occurs, Lucid recommends that you stop the vehicle in a safe location and place the vehicle in P (Park), then check to see if the hood is correctly closed.



If the vehicle is in D (Drive) or R (Reverse) and the hood is unlatched, it will be highlighted red.

Automatically Opening the Hood

Note: All electrical unlatching of the hood is disabled when the vehicle is in motion.

To electronically open the hood, use one of the following options:

  1. Use the Lucid mobile app.
  2. On the Pilot Panel, select the icon and press the hood-opening icon.
  3. Press and hold the hood-opening button on the keyfob within 6.5ft (2m) of the hood.


When the vehicle is shifted to Park, the Parked submenu automatically appears on the Left Clearview Cockpit to reveal the hood-opening icon.

Automatically Closing the Hood

To close the hood using the power-assist system, use one of the following options:

  1. Use the Lucid mobile app.
  2. Select the icon and tap the hood-closing icon on the Pilot Panel.
  3. Press and hold the hood-closing button on the keyfob within 6.5ft (2m) of the hood.
  4. Press and release the close button on the front edge of the hood.
Note: If the hood has been open for an extended time, it may be necessary to close it manually. See Manually Closing the Hood.

Automatic Movement Stop

The hood will stop moving if anything obstructs and prevents it from opening or closing.

Note: The Clearview Cockpit alerts you if the hood automatically stops.

If the hood stops due to an obstruction, remove it and try to open or close it again. If it cannot be opened or closed a second time, try to manually operate the hood.

Manually Closing the Hood

Note: Some models may come equipped with power-opening and closing-hood systems.
Warning: Always check the area around the hood for obstructions, (such as people or objects), before closing the hood.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when closing the hood, as the hood panel could be damaged.

To close the hood:

  1. Gently lower it until the hood is almost closed.
  2. Place your hands on top of the hood at the illustrated points.
  3. Gently press it down until you feel the power auto-cinch take over to pull it closed.


  4. After closing it, confirm that the latch is fully engaged by attempting to lift the front edge of the hood. The hood should be free from all movement.
Warning: If any part of the hood hinge appears loose, do not drive the vehicle, and contact a Lucid Service Center.
