Using the Mobile Key

Mobile Key allows you to use your phone to unlock, drive, and lock Lucid Air using the Lucid Mobile app. In order to use the Mobile Key, you must first pair it with the vehicle.

Note: Pair your phone with the vehicle before connecting Bluetooth audio (phone/media) for a smooth Mobile Key setup. If you have already connected Bluetooth audio and are having trouble pairing, disconnect Bluetooth audio and try pairing the mobile key again.
See Phone and Smart Devices.

Vehicle Controls

Mobile Key controls, (unlock, drive, and lock), function the same way as the passive features for the key fob.

Using the Key Fob

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

Warning: The keyless entry system uses low-frequency 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.

Key Fob Range

The key fob communicates with receivers in the vehicle via Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) and low-frequency 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.

While carrying a key fob, all doors will automatically unlock and present their handles when approaching your vehicle.

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

Key Fob Operation

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

Note: The key fob button is located on the center of the top surface, in the middle of the LUCID logo.


Once within range, the key fob operates as follows:

  • Press once to lock all doors and front and rear trunks.
  • Press twice to unlock all doors and front and rear trunks.
  • Press and hold the button to open or close the front trunk.
  • Give it a short press, followed by a long press to open or close the rear trunk.
  • Press the button four times for the panic alarm to trigger; to cancel the panic alarm, press the button four times again or twice to unlock it.

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.

Using the Lucid Key Card

Use the Lucid key card only within close range of the vehicle and as a backup method for vehicle entry. You may use or lend the Lucid 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, (e.g., misplaced or low battery)


Hold the Lucid key card just above the driver's side center pillar camera to lock or unlock the doors.

Note: To drive the vehicle only using the Lucid key card, you must enter the pin associated with the current user profile when shifting out of Park.

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 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 CR2032 and will need occasional replacement. The vehicle alerts you with a Key Fob Battery Low message on the Glass 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. Press the driver’s side door handle momentarily and locate the camera on the B Pillar. Place the key fob on the B Pillar under the camera, and while still holding it, move the key fob in small circles.

You can also lock the vehicle in the case of a depleted key fob. To do this, make sure the doors, frunk, and trunk are closed. Then, locate the camera on the driver’s side of the B Pillar. Place the key fob on the B Pillar under the camera, and while still holding it, move the key fob in small circles.

PIN to Drive

When accessing the vehicle with a dead key fob or Lucid key card, drivers must use their profile PIN to enable driving. Drivers are able to enter the PIN via the Pilot Panel after pressing the brake pedal. After entering a valid PIN, drivers can operate the vehicle until the driver's door opens again, resetting authentication.

Note: After 21 unsuccessful attempts, the driver cannot enter the PIN again for 2 hours.

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.
