Trunk and front trunk

For luggage, put the car in Park and use the trunk control on the Pilot Panel or Lucid app. The trunk also has an exterior release below the C in the rear nameplate.

For the front trunk, use the frunk control on the left cockpit screen or your available Lucid app controls. Check that it is fully closed before driving. Lucid Air manual
