Hood Opening and Closing

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

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.

In the case of an unlatched hood, the red Door Open warning indicator will appear on the Glass 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.

Opening the Hood

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

To electronically open and close the hood:

  1. Use the Lucid mobile app.
  2. On the Pilot Panel, select and press the hood-opening icon.
  3. On the Pilot Panel, select >  OPENINGS and press the hood-opening icon.
  4. On the left Pilot Panel, press the hood-opening icon.
  5. Press and hold the key fob within 6.5 feet (2 m) of the front trunk.

You may raise the hood after it has been successfully unlatched. The hood has two gas struts to aid in opening and holding it in the open position.



Note: In frigid temperatures, you may find that the gas struts do not hold the hood open as firmly as they do in warmer temperatures.

Automatically Closing the Hood

To close the hood using the power-assist system:

  1. Use the Lucid mobile app.
  2. Select the icon and press the hood-closing icon on the Pilot Panel.
  3. Select >  OPENINGS and press the hood-closing icon on the Pilot Panel.
  4. Press and release the close button on the front edge of the frunk.
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 Glass 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.

Accessing the Front Cargo Area

To access the lower cargo area in the front trunk, pull up on the cargo cover handle. The cargo cover is not attached to the vehicle, therefore, it can be folded back or removed, if necessary.
