Brakes
Braking Systems
WARNING: It is critical to occupant
safety that your braking systems are
always functioning properly. If you
experience any braking issues or
receive any fault messages regarding
the braking system, contact a Lucid
Service Center immediately.
WARNING: Driving through heavy rain
or water can have a temporary adverse
effect on braking efficiency.
CAUTION: Do not rest your foot on
the brake pedal while the vehicle is
in motion unless you are applying the
brake pedal. Resting your foot on the
brake pedal can cause premature break
wear.
The foot pedal hydraulically-operated brakes
are electrically boosted, but only when the
vehicle is On. If the vehicle loses power when
driving, you will need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and you will experience longer
stopping distances.
If the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low, a red brake indicator
and a notification message will be
displayed on the Instrument Cluster.
See Checking Brake Fluid.
If the yellow brake indicator displays
on the Instrument Cluster, a brake
system fault has been detected.
Contact a Lucid Service Center as
soon as possible to have the brakes inspected.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
WARNING: Always maintain an
appropriate distance from the vehicle
in front. ABS cannot overcome the
physical limitations of trying to stop the
vehicle in too short a distance.
WARNING: The braking distance on
road surfaces that are wet, slippery
or loose is always increased; even for
vehicles equipped with ABS.
WARNING: Always drive with due care
and attention to your surroundings and
road conditions. ABS will not correct
driver errors.
Your vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) that helps prevent the
wheels from locking during hard braking or
when braking on roads with reduced grip.
During braking, the ABS monitors the speed of
each wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure
at each wheel to prevent the wheels from
locking. This system helps maintain steering
ability during maximum brake application.
When ABS activates, you may experience the
following conditions:
- Pulsations in the brake pedal
- A slight drop of the brake pedal
- Clicking or grinding noises
- ABS warning indicator flickering on and
off as the system activates
These conditions demonstrate that ABS is
operating and are not a cause for concern.
Maintain a firm and steady pressure on the
brake pedal while experiencing the pulsation.
Emergency braking
WARNING: Do not pump the brake
pedal. This interrupts the operation of
the ABS system and increases your
stopping distance, which could lead to
a collision.
In an emergency, fully press the brake pedal
even when the road surface is slippery.
ABS warning indicator
The ABS indicator displays on the
Instrument Cluster, along with a
notification message.
- If the indicator is flashing, a fault has
been detected.
