Using the Key Fob

Your vehicle includes two alternate keyless entry systems: a key fob and a Lucid key card.

The key fob is used to lock and unlock the vehicle.

Warning: The keyless entry system uses ultra-wideband radio transmissions that may interfere with implanted medical devices. To avoid any possibility of interference, keep such medical devices away from any transmitters.
Warning: To prevent the accidental operation of the vehicle or its systems, do not leave a key fob in a vehicle that is unattended by a driver. Never leave children unattended in the car.
CAUTION: Always secure the vehicle by removing all key fobs from the car when leaving it unattended.

Pairing and Unpairing

Your key fob comes paired with your vehicle. To pair and unpair any additional key fobs, you must visit your nearest service center.

Key Fob Range

The key fob communicates with receivers in the vehicle via Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) and ultra-wideband radio communication. While it is not necessary to point your key fob at the car, it must be within operating range to work.

Note: The key fob operating range varies, depending upon environmental factors. Nearby radio transmitters, (e.g., amateur or CB radios, radio or television stations, airports), may interfere with communications between the key fob and the vehicle. In cases of interference, it may be necessary to move closer to the car than usual to operate the key fob.

You can manually operate the key fob once it is detected or closer to the vehicle.

If Auto Lock/Unlock is enabled in Settings:

  • When leaving your vehicle while carrying a key fob, all doors will automatically lock, and any presented door handles will retract.
  • When approaching your vehicle while carrying a key fob, all doors will automatically unlock and present their handles.

Key Fob Operation

As you approach the vehicle, the key fob should be within range.

The buttons on the key fob indicate:
  1. Liftgate
  2. Hood
  3. Unlock
  4. Lock


Once within range, the key fob operates as follows:

  • Press the Lock button to lock all doors, hood, and tailgate.
  • Press the Unlock button once to unlock only the driver door, and press unlock again to unlock all doors, hood, and tailgate.
  • Press and hold the Hood button to open or close the hood. To pause the hood movement while it is opening or closing, press the hood button again.
  • Press and hold the Liftgate button to open or close the liftgate. To pause the tailgate movement while the tailgate is opening or closing, press the liftgate button again.
  • Press and hold the Lock button for the panic alarm to trigger. To cancel the panic alarm, press the Lock or Unlock button.

Key Fob Troubleshooting

If the key fob does not respond when pressed:

  • Try operating the key fob as close to your vehicle as possible. Other radio equipment operating on a similar frequency may interfere with the signals from your key fob.
  • The key fob battery may need replacing; see Replacing the Key Fob Battery. If the key fob battery is depleted, you can still unlock the vehicle by holding the key fob near the driver's side center pillar, (below the camera; the key fob should touch the pillar), then pressing the door handle for three seconds.

If you cannot unlock your vehicle with the key fob, use the mobile app or Lucid key card. See Using the Lucid key card. Contact Lucid Customer Care if the problem persists.

Replacing the Key Fob Battery

Warning: The key fobs supplied with your vehicle contain a coin/button-type battery. These batteries contain toxic and corrosive substances. Batteries are a chemical burn hazard and should never be ingested. If swallowed, batteries can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and may even lead to death.
  • Keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children.
  • If you think batteries may have been swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
Warning: If the cover for the key fob will not close securely, stop using the key fob and keep it out of the reach of children. Contact a Lucid Service Center for a replacement key fob.
Warning: There is a risk of explosion if an incorrect battery is installed. Only install a battery that is identical to the battery specified in this manual.

The key fob battery is type CR2450 and will need occasional replacement. The vehicle alerts you with a Key Fob Battery Low message on the Clearview Cockpit.

Note: Replace a low key fob battery as soon as possible to avoid complications with the vehicle systems.

To replace the key fob battery:

  1. Remove the battery cover.
  2. Remove the old battery.
  3. Avoid touching the flat surfaces of the new battery, if possible, as fingermarks can reduce battery life.
  4. Wipe the battery clean before installation.
  5. Fit the battery with the + side facing upwards.
  6. Replace the battery cover.
Attention: Used batteries must be correctly disposed of, as they contain harmful substances. Please refer to local regulations.

Depleted Key Fob Battery

It is still possible to access the car even if the key fob battery is depleted. To unlock the car, tap the NFC part of the key fob on the B pillar.

You can also lock the vehicle in the case of a depleted key fob. To do this, make sure the doors, hood, and liftgate are closed. Then, locate the camera on the driver’s side of the B Pillar.



For important safety information and handling instructions related to the battery used in your key fob, refer to the Battery Safety Guidelines.

Caring for the Key Fob

CAUTION: To protect the electronic circuitry inside, do not expose the key fob to:
  • Impacts
  • Liquids
  • High temperatures (including prolonged sunlight exposure)
  • Waxes, solvents, or abrasive cleaners

Replacement Key Fobs

If you lose a key fob, contact a Lucid Service Center to obtain a replacement.

If ordering a new key fob, you must bring all available key fobs and Lucid key cards for the vehicle to the Lucid Service Center to reprogram the system.

Using the Lucid Key Card

Use your Lucid key card only within close range of the vehicle and as a backup method for vehicle entry. You may use or lend the key card when you are:

  • Using a valet parking service
  • Leaving your vehicle to be serviced or repaired at a Lucid Service Center
  • Experiencing key fob issues (such as a misplaced or low battery)

To lock or unlock the doors, tap the Lucid key card on the NFC logo of the driver's side center pillar camera.

To drive, tap the Lucid key card logo near the cup holder.
