Airbag Safety Information
Warning: Even with airbags, the driver and occupants must always wear their seat belts to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision.
Warning: Airbags inflate with considerable speed and force. To reduce the risk of injuries, ensure that all occupants are wearing seat belts and are correctly seated, with seats positioned as far back from any front airbags, as possible.
Warning: Never use a child safety seat or seat young children on a seat with an operational airbag in front of it. Doing so can cause serious injury or death if the airbag deploys.
Warning: Keep hands, feet, arms, and legs away from where airbags deploy to prevent interference with their deployment.
Warning: Contact Lucid first if you are planning to modify your vehicle for a person with disabilities in a way that may affect the airbag system. See Contacting Lucid Motors.
Airbag Safety Labels
Airbag safety labels are on the sun visors for the driver and front passenger.
How the Airbags Work
Warning: The airbags are a supplemental restraint system, providing additional protection only in certain types of collisions; they do not replace the need to wear a seat belt.
Warning: Occupants not properly
positioned and restrained in designated seating positions are at a high risk of death or
serious injury in the event of airbag deployment.
Warning: Do not use a child restraint on a seat with an operational airbag in front of it. There is a risk of death or serious injury if the airbag deploys.
Airbags inflate when sensors detect an impact that exceeds deployment thresholds. These thresholds are designed to predict the severity of a crash in time for the airbags to help protect the vehicle's occupants.
Airbags instantly inflate with considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated airbag and the worn seat belts limit the occupants' movement to reduce the risk of injury.
The front airbags are not designed to inflate as a result of:
Rear Collisions
Vehicle Rollover
Low Speed Front Impacts
Side Impacts
Driving Over Bumps or Potholes
Therefore, significant superficial damage can occur to the vehicle without the airbags inflating;
or conversely, a relatively small amount of not easily
visualized structural damage can cause airbags to inflate.
Types of Airbags
Front Airbags
The front airbags are designed to protect the head and chest of the driver and front passenger from impact with the steering wheel and dashboard panel components.
The front airbags fitted to your vehicle are advanced airbags. This type of airbag is designed to
reduce airbag-related injuries to small-stature adults.
An occupancy sensor is built into the front passenger seat. If the sensor detects the weight of
an infant or small child, the system will automatically turn off the passenger’s
front airbag. However, Lucid does not recommend that you seat an infant or
small child in the front passenger seat. See Guidelines for Seating Children.
No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel because the object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash.
Warning: Maintain a gap between the side of the vehicle and the torso; this
enables correct inflation of the seat-mounted side airbags.
Warning: Do not use seat covers
or accessory seat covers on a front seat, because they will prevent the side airbag
from correctly deploying in an accident. If in doubt, contact a Lucid Service
Center.
Warning:Lucid recommends that a Lucid Service Center
performs all repairs. Incorrectly performed repairs to the side airbag system could
impair function and lead to serious injury or death.
The side airbags are designed to protect the thorax region of the torso and
pelvis, and only deploys in the event of a severe side impact. They do not inflate
as a result of frontal or rear impacts. The airbags on the non-impacted side of the
vehicle do not deploy.
Knee Airbags
The knee airbags are designed to work in conjunction with the deployment of the front airbags. When deployed, the knee airbags limit the forward motion of the driver or front passenger by restricting leg movement, thereby positioning the occupant so that the front airbags work more effectively.
Curtain Airbags
Warning: Occupants should not lean their
heads against doors. In the event of a collision, the curtain airbag will deploy
from the headliner and may cause injury.
Warning: Never hang or attach heavy
objects from the grab handles on the headliner. The hooks are for lightweight
garments (not for hard objects).
Warning: For the curtain
airbags to correctly deploy, the roof lining and A-pillar trim must be undamaged.
Any damage should be referred to a Lucid Service Center for
inspection.
The curtain airbags are designed to protect the head in severe frontal crashes with a lateral component, severe side impacts, or rollovers. They do not inflate in all frontal impacts and do not inflate alone in a rear impact.
Note: Curtain airbags can help prevent occupants from being thrown from the vehicle in the event of a vehicle rollover.
Obstruction of Airbags
Warning: Do not allow passengers to
obstruct the operation of the airbags by placing their feet, knees, any other part of
the body, or any other objects in contact with, or in close proximity to, an airbag
module.
Warning: Front seat occupants should not place extremities
including hands, arms, feet or legs against the dashboard area.
An inflating airbag can cause fractures or other serious
injuries.
Warning: Do not attach or position items
on an airbag cover that could interfere with the inflation of the airbag or propel
inside your vehicle and injure occupants.
Warning: Never place any body parts over
an airbag cover as a deploying airbag can cause serious
injuries.
For the airbags to correctly deploy, obstructions cannot intervene between an airbag and the occupant.
The following are examples of the type of obstructions that could impede the correct operation of
airbags or jeopardize personal safety in the event of an airbag
deployment:
Accessories attached to or obscuring an airbag
cover (for example, attached to the roof lining,
door pillar trim, or the front seat backrests)
Items of hand luggage, or other objects placed on an airbag cover
Feet, knees, or any other part of the anatomy in contact with, or in close proximity to, an airbag cover
Head, arms, or any part of the anatomy in contact with, or in close proximity to, a seat-mounted side airbag
Objects (such as items of clothing) hanging from
the handles attached to the headliner
Objects (such as items of clothing or cushions)
draped over the part of the front seat containing
the airbag
Seat covers/accessory seat covers over a front
seat; in particular, seat covers that have not been
designed for use with seat-mounted side
airbags
Note: If in doubt, consult your Lucid
Service Center.
Front Passenger Seat Occupant Classification System
(OCS)
Warning: Lucid strongly advises against
seating a child on the front passenger seat, even
if the passenger airbag is off. All occupants age
12 and under should ride in the rear seats. See
Child Safety Locks.
Warning: For the OCS to function as intended, the full weight of the front seat
passenger should always be directly centered on the seat cushion. The passengers should not
redistribute their weights to the armrest, center console, floor, backrest, or in any other
way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. The passenger should not place anything (such
as, a cushion) between themselves and the seat that could cause OCS to disable the front
passenger's airbag.
Deployment of the front passenger airbag is not
always beneficial for small or lower-weight
occupants and could be harmful to children/infants
in restraint systems.
The front passenger seat is fitted with an
occupancy sensor that controls the status of the
front passenger airbag based on the position and
weight of the occupant.
Note: The occupancy sensor system only
controls the deployment of the front passenger
airbags and passenger side airbag. It does not
affect the deployment of the seat belt
pre-tensioner or the passenger curtain
airbag.
The occupancy sensor system meets the regulatory
requirement of FMVSS 208 and automatically detects
when deployment of the front passenger airbag may
be unnecessary or potentially harmful.
A status message on the overhead console
indicates whether the front passenger airbag is
currently off.
You should always check whether the passenger
airbag status indicator shows the correct status
for the current seat occupancy.
If you think the passenger airbag status is
incorrect, check for the following:
Objects lodged underneath the seat
Objects wedged between the seat cushion and the
center console
Objects hanging off the back off the seat
Cargo interference with the seat
Rear-seat passengers pushing or pulling on the
front passenger seat
Any of the conditions listed above may cause the
occupancy sensor to incorrectly interpret the
weight of the occupant or object as either heavier
or lighter than the real weight.
Front Passenger Seat OCS Status Indicator
Depending on the input received from the occupancy sensor, the passenger airbag status indicator operates as follows:

*1 A low-weight object or occupant is classified as weighing less than 52 lb (23.5 kg). The movement of a low-weight occupant or object while your vehicle is in motion may cause the status indicator to occasionally switch states.
*2 Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable.
*3 For some children (a child in a seat, booster seat, or convertible seat), the
system may not recognize them as a child. Factors that may affect this can be the
physique or posture.
*4 The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may not recognize them as adults, depending on their physique and posture.
Note: It is possible to receive an intermittent indicator status with an empty seat. This is part of the system's behavior and it does not affect the status of the front passenger airbags. However, if the status indicator is not permanently illuminated when the seat is empty, immediately contact a Lucid Service Center.
If you still believe that the airbag status indicator is incorrect, have your passenger ride in the rear of the vehicle and contact a Lucid Service Center to have the system checked.
Front Passenger Seat OCS Precautions
Warning: Failure to observe
the following precautions regarding the front passenger OCS may cause death or
serious injury:
Make sure that the front
passenger's seat belt latch plate is not inserted into the buckle before someone
sits in the front passenger seat.
If an adult is seated in the
front passenger seat and the PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator
is displayed, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, with
their feet on the floor and the seat belt worn correctly. If the PASS
AIR BAG OFF indicator remains displayed, ask the passenger to
move to a rear seat or move the front passenger seat fully rearward. In either
case, contact a Lucid Service Center to help correct the issue.
Child restraint systems installed
on the rear seat should not contact the front passenger seat back.
Do not recline the front
passenger seat so far back that it contacts a rear seat or an object in the rear
of the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. This may cause the
PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator to be displayed. Return
the seat back to a position where it does not touch the seat or object. Keep the
front passenger seat back as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving.
Reclining the seat back may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt
system.
Make sure the PASS
AIR BAG OFF indicator is not displayed when using a seat belt
extender for the front passenger. If the PASS AIR BAG OFF
indicator is displayed, disconnect the latch plate from the seat belt buckle and
reconnect the seat belt. If you continue to use the seat belt extender while the
PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator is displayed, the airbags
for the front passenger will not correctly activate. This could cause death or
serious injury in the event of a collision.
Do not apply a heavy load to the
front passenger seat.
Do not put objects underneath the
front passenger seat.
Do not allow rear seat passengers
to put weight on the front passenger seat by putting their hands or feet on the
seat back.
Do not let a rear passenger push
the front passenger seat with their legs.
Do not allow a passenger to kick
the front passenger seat or subject it to a severe impact. This could cause the
Airbag SRS warning indicator to be displayed and prevent the system from
operating correctly in an impact. Contact a Lucid Service Center if the
warning indicator is displayed.
Do not modify or remove the front
seats.
Do not modify, cover, or replace
the upholstery on the front seat.
Effects of Airbag Inflation
Warning: When airbags deploy, a fine
powder is normally released. This powder can cause irritation.
Thoroughly flush the powder from the eyes and skin, including
any cuts or abrasions. The powder may aggravate asthma for some
people.
Warning: Following inflation, some airbag
components are hot. Do not touch the airbag components until they have cooled.
After inflation, the airbags deflate to provide a gradual cushioning effect and to clear the
driver’s field of vision.
If airbags inflate or your vehicle has been in a collision, always have the airbags, seat belt,
and all associated components checked and (if necessary)
replaced by Lucid.

Airbag Service Information
Warning: Do not attempt to service, repair, replace, or modify any part of the airbag system. This includes wiring or components in the vicinity of the airbag components. Doing so may cause the system to trigger or render the system inoperative, either of which may result in death or serious injury.
Warning: Any notable damage to airbag
components or covers (for example, tears, burns, holes, chemical or detergent damage, or
previous accidental damage), however produced, may cause the airbag module(s) to fail.
Make sure a Lucid Service Center repairs or replaces any damaged components.
Warning: If you need to dispose an airbag
or seat belt pre-tensioner, contact a Lucid Service Center. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.
