We sat on this for some time and for no very good reason, but made Lucid its own back-up or emergency open and start page. It includes all available options to get in and get started in the event that the battery in the key fob dies.
Radio interference can also cause a key fob to fail to open
Lucid key fobs don’t include a mechanical key. The company has their customers rely on key cards they supply and/or a smart phone app as back-up.
Starting the vehicles are another story. After using the key card to get in Air models, a profile pin will have to be inputted to enable driving. The pin can be entered via the Pilot Panel after stepping on the brake pedal.
We see no reason why this couldn’t at least be tried in an Air model as well! We will if an opportunity arises…
The Lucid emergency open and start page can be seen here. Next up is a symbols page for the company.
