Seat Belt Warnings

Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the occupants of the vehicle are wearing seat belts and adhering to all warnings and guidelines listed in this section.
Warning: Make sure that the driver and passengers correctly wear the seat belts. Improperly wearing a seat belt increases the risk of injury or death in a collision.
Warning: Always wear the seat belt with the lap section of the belt as low as possible and snug across your hips.
Warning: Do not wear the seat belt with any part of the strap twisted.
Warning: Never wear the seat belt with the shoulder belt under your arm.
Warning: Never wear a shoulder belt without the lap belt.
Warning: Do not wear seat belts over hard, fragile, or sharp items in clothing, (for example, pens, keys, and eyeglasses). Pressure from the seat belt on such items can cause personal injury.
Warning: Each seat belt should only be used by one occupant. Never attempt to use a seat belt with a child or another person in your lap.
Warning: Secure small children in a proper child safety seat.
Warning: If a seat belt cannot be securely fastened because it is not long enough, only use Lucid-approved seat belt extenders.
Warning: Using seat belt extenders may not allow the vehicle to determine whether a seat belt unlatches.
Warning: Do not make modifications or additions to the seat belt assembly that prevent the mechanism from taking up or removing slack. A slack belt greatly reduces the occupant’s protection.
Warning: Do not attempt to remove, repair, disassemble, or install seat belts. Lucid recommends that only Lucid-certified technicians should perform any necessary repairs. Improper handling may result in the seat belts failing to correctly operate.

Warning: Avoid contaminating the seat belt assembly with any liquids, chemicals, dirt, grit, or cleaning products. Contamination can affect the condition and function of the assembly.
Warning: Seat belts showing signs of wear (such as fraying), or those that have been cut or otherwise damaged must be replaced. Immediately contact a Lucid Service Center.
Warning: If a seat belt fails to latch or does not fully retract when not in use, contact Lucid Customer Care to have the assembly inspected and possibly replaced.
Warning: Any seat belts that were in use during a collision must be inspected or replaced by Lucid-certified technicians, even if there is no apparent damage to the assembly.
Warning: Take care not to damage the seat belt by allowing any part of it to become trapped in the door.

Wearing Seat Belts

Warning: All occupants must wear seat belts, no matter the driving distance. Failure to do so increases the risk of serious injury or fatality in an accident.

Seat belts and child-restraint systems are the most effective means of restraining vehicle occupants from impact forces, which minimize the danger of injury from interior impacts and the effects of whiplash. Wearing a seat belt is required by law in most states.

All seating positions are equipped with three-point inertia retractor seat belts. Inertia retractor seat belts are automatically tensioned and allow freedom of movement during normal driving conditions.

The seat belt retractor automatically locks, preventing occupants' movement whenever your vehicle experiences the force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or impact in a collision. The retractor may also lock when driving on steep hills or slopes.

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The front passenger seat and all rear passenger seating positions are equipped with an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) to securely hold child safety seats. To engage ALR mode, slowly and fully extend the seatbelt. At this point, extension of the seatbelt is disabled and only retraction is permitted to ensure that child seats are securely fastened. When the retractor is in this mode, it will produce an audible ratcheting sound when the seatbelt is allowed to retract. To disengage the ALR, allow the belt to fully retract.
Warning: The ALR should only be used to secure child seats and not when occupants are sitting directly on the seat (not in a child seat).

The front passenger seat has an ALR.

Warning: Child seats should only be used in the rear seats. Do not install a child seat in the front passenger seat.

Fastening the Seat Belt

  1. Correctly position the seat. See Correct Seating Position.
  2. Slowly pull the seat belt out, making sure that it is not twisted or damaged.
  3. Buckle the seat belt by fully inserting the latch patch into the buckle. A distinct click sound will indicate that the seat belt is securely locked in place.


  4. The height adjuster of the front seat belts can be adjusted.


    Press the button on the seat belt adjuster on the door pillar and move the belt up or down. Adjust the seat belt to the highest position possible for the seat belt to be mid-way between the shoulder and the neck, on the collar bone.

  5. Tighten the seat belt across the lap and rest the seat belt on the hips by pulling the diagonal section up towards the shoulder.

Releasing the Belt

To release the seat belt, press the red button on the buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract.

Seat Belt Reminders

Warning: All occupants must wear seat belts. Never disregard or attempt to disable the seat belt reminder if it activates.

The seat belt reminder on the Glass Cockpit alerts you if a seat belt for an occupied front or rear seat is unbuckled.

Upon first brake press, if the driver seat belt is unfastened, the red warning indicator will solidly illuminate with intermittent chime sounds.

If the vehicle speed is less than 12 mph (20 km/h), the red warning indicator will solidly illuminate with no warning chime.

If the vehicle speed is more than 12 mph (20 km/h), the red warning indicator will continuously flash with intermittent chime sounds.

If all occupants are wearing seat belts and the warning indicator stays on, re-fasten all seat belts in use to ensure that they are correctly latched. Remove any heavy objects (such as a briefcase) from unoccupied seats. If the indicator remains on, contact a Lucid Service Center.

In addition to the seat belt reminder, a graphic of the seat layout displays on the left side of the Glass Cockpit. The seat layout will display the detected occupied seats and the seat belt use status.
When the seat location displays a green indicator, it indicates that the seat position is occupied and the seat belt is fastened.
When a seat location displays a red seat belt indicator, it indicates that the seat position is occupied, but the seat belt is not fastened.

Using Seat Belts When Pregnant

Warning: Pregnant women must wear seat belts to protect themselves and their unborn child.
Warning: Do not place anything between you and the seat belt to cushion the impact in the event of a collision.


Wear the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possible across the hips, not the waist. Position the shoulder part of the belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Make sure that the seat belt has no slack and is not twisted.

For any concerns about wearing seat belts, consult your physician.

Seat Belt Pre-Tensioners

Warning: If a seat belt pre-tensioner activates, it must be replaced. After an impact or collision, even if there is no obvious damage, always have the seat belts checked and if necessary, replaced by a Lucid Service Center.

The seat belts for the front and outboard rear seating positions are equipped with pre‑tensioners that will work either independently or in conjunction with the airbags in a severe front or side-impact collision, depending upon the severity of a crash.

Note: A pre-tensioner will activate if the seat belt is already buckled at the time of the collision.


The pre-tensioners will automatically retract the seat belts, reducing any slack in both the lap and shoulder portions of the belts, thereby decreasing the forward movement of the seat belt wearer.

The seat belt pre-tensioners will only activate once before a Lucid Service Center must replace them.

If a pre-tensioner activates, the airbag warning indicator will display on the Glass Cockpit.

Note: Even if the pre-tensioners activate, the seat belts will still function as restraints. Continue to wear the seat belts if the vehicle remains in a drivable condition.

Testing Seat Belts

Warning: Regularly check the condition of all seat belts. Replace the seat belts if you notice damage to the belt straps, fittings, retractor mechanisms, or buckles. Damaged seat belts may not provide proper protection in the event of an accident.
Warning: When seat belts are not in use, they should be fully retracted and not hanging loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact a Lucid Service Center.

There are three tests you should perform when checking the seat belts:

  1. With the seat belt fastened, give the shoulder belt strap at the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle should remain securely locked.
  2. With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the belt to its limit. Check that it smoothly unreels with no snatches or snags. Visually check the belt for wear. Allow the belt to retract, checking that the retraction is smooth and complete.
  3. With the belt half unreeled, hold the strap and quickly try to pull more of the strap out. The mechanism should automatically lock and prevent further unreeling.

If any issues arise during these tests, immediately contact a Lucid Service Center to have the seat belt replaced.
