- 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.Heavy

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
children or small-statured adults.
Your vehicle has front seat position sensors.
These sensors help make sure that the airbag
inflates with less force if the seat is closer to
the airbag than if the seat was further away,
regardless of the impact severity.
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 on page 48.
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.
Note: If there is no front seat passenger
detected, the passenger front airbag will not
activate. See Front Passenger Seat Occupant
Classification System (OCS) on page 56.
Side airbags
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,
as these will prevent the side airbag
from deploying correctly in an accident.
If in doubt, contact a Lucid Service
Center.
WARNING: Lucid recommends 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 only. 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.
