Polestar has undertaken to improve the environment by offering a product range that is clean and efficient and affects the environment as little as possible.

Optimised drivetrain

Polestar has a drivetrain that is specifically designed to minimise pollution and maximise efficiency. These powertrains have been optimised for increased efficiency and reduced pollution.

Improved environment, both inside and out

Polestar's environmental commitment also extends to the interior of the car, which is cleaned by the climate control system. An air filter in the air intake that stops pollen and dust, together with the air cleaning system in the car, is known as the Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) within Polestar. It also cleans the air in the interior of the car from hydrocarbons, ground-level ozone and nitrous oxides. The materials included in the fittings have been selected for their sustainability and have been tested to ensure that they do not give off strong odours or other pollution.

Cooperation for a cleaner future

All Polestar cars meet strict international environmental requirements, such as the production plants (which hold accreditation to ISO 14001) and all Polestar partners and staff. This ensures compliance with environmental laws and regulations while also guaranteeing ongoing improvements.

The car has an intelligent interface and offers online connectivity with the digital world. An intuitive navigation structure makes it possible to receive relevant support, information and entertainment when it is necessary, without distracting the driver.

Information when it is needed, where it is needed

The different displays in the car provide information at the right time. The information is shown in different locations based on how it should be prioritised by the driver.

Polestar 2 - Connection and entertainment - 1

natural_image Interior view of a white electric vehicle dashboard and tablet device (no visible text or symbols)

Different types of information are shown in different displays depending on how the information should be prioritised.

① The driver display shows information on speed, road sign information, warning and control symbols and information on the battery, for example. The driver display can also show incoming calls or information on what song is playing. The display is operated via the two steering wheel keypads.
② Many of the car's primary functions are controlled from the centre display, e.g. the climate control system, the entertainment system and the settings for the seats. The centre display also shows information on navigation and road sign information, for example. The information that is shown in the centre display can be acted on by the driver or someone else in the car when the opportunity arises.

Voice control system

The voice control system can be used without the driver needing to take his/her hands off the steering wheel. The system can understand natural speech. Use voice control to, for example, play back a song, call someone, increase the temperature or read out a text message.

Recording data

As part of Polestar's safety and quality assurance, certain information about the vehicle's operation, functionality and incidents are recorded in the car.

This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to register and record data related to traffic accidents of collision-like situations, such as times when the airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstacle in the road. The data is recorded in order to increase understanding of how vehicle systems work in these types of situations. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short time, usually 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data related to the following in the event of traffic accidents or collision-like situations:

• How the various systems in the car worked
- Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were fastened/tensioned
• The driver's use of the accelerator or brake pedal
• The travel speed of the vehicle

This can help us understand the circumstances in which traffic accidents, injuries and damage occur. The EDR only records data when a non-trivial collision situation occurs. The EDR does not record any data during normal driving conditions. Similarly, the system never registers who is driving the vehicle or the geographic location of the accident or near-miss situation. However, other parties, such as the police, could use the recorded data in combination with the type of personally identifiable information routinely collected after a traffic accident. Special equipment and access to either the vehicle or the EDR is required to be able to interpret the registered data.

In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a number of computers designed to continually check and monitor the function of the car. They can record data during normal driving conditions, but in particular, register faults affecting the vehicle's operation and functionality, or upon activation of the vehicle's active driver support function.

Some of the recorded data is required to enable service and maintenance technicians to diagnose and remedy any faults that occurred in the vehicle. The registered information is also needed to enable Polestar to satisfy legal requirements laid out in laws and by government authorities. Information registered in the vehicle is stored in its computer until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.

In addition to the above, the registered information can be used in aggregate form for research and product development with the aim of continuously improving the safety and quality of Polestar cars.

Polestar will not contribute to the above-described information being disclosed to third parties without the vehicle owner's consent. To comply with national legislation and regulations, Polestar may be forced to disclose information of this nature to the police or other authorities who may assert a legal right to access such. Special technical equipment which Polestar and workshops that have entered into agreements with Polestar have access to is required to be able to read and interpret the recorded data. Polestar is responsible for ensuring that the information, which is transferred to Polestar during servicing and maintenance, is securely stored and managed and that its management complies with relevant legal requirements. Contact Polestar Support for further information.

Approval of terms and conditions and data collection

Related information

- Contact Polestar (p. 14)

Messages about different terms and conditions and data collection can be shown in the centre display. Collection of data takes place to provide better car, safety and app functions, for example.

The first time you use your car, a guide opens in the centre display to assist you to make various settings. In connection with the guide, you are also prompted to give your consent to different types of terms and conditions and the collection of information.

Prompts to give consent can also be shown in the event of, for example:

  • First-time use of apps and services
  • New user profiles
  • Logging out from and deleting user profiles
  • Change of ownership
  • Resetting the settings
  • User profiles (p. 118)
  • Resetting user data (p. 118)

Available services may vary depending on market.

Driver distraction

The driver is responsible for doing everything possible to ensure the safety of themselves, their passengers and other road users. Part of this responsibility is avoiding distractions such as carrying out an activity that is not related to operating the car in a driving environment.

Your new Polestar is, or can be, equipped with content-rich entertainment and communications systems. This could be mobile phones with handsfree, navigation systems and audio systems with lots of functions. You may also have other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. Used correctly, in a safe way they can enrich the driving experience. If they are used in the wrong way they could distract you.

We wish to give the following warnings regarding such systems, to indicate Polestar's concern for your safety. Never use a device or function in the car in such a way that it will distract you from the task of driving safely. Distractions can lead to serious accidents. Apart from these general warnings, we offer the following advice regarding the new functions that may be in the car:

• Audio and media (p. 414)
- Google Maps (p. 442)

WARNING

  • Never use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. In some areas it is forbidden for the driver to use a mobile phone while the car is moving.
  • If the car is equipped with a navigation system you must only set and change the itinerary when the car is parked.
  • Never program the audio system while the car is moving. Program the radio's presets when the car is parked and then use the programmed presets for faster and simpler use of the radio.
  • Never use laptops or hand-held computers while the car is moving.

Section 03

Safety

Safety

The vehicle is equipped with several safety systems that work together to protect the vehicle's driver and passengers in the event of an accident.

The car is equipped with a number of sensors that react in the event of an accident and activate different safety systems, such as different types of airbags and seatbelt tensioners. Depending on the specific accident situation, such as collisions at different angles, roll-over or driving off the road, the systems react in different ways to provide good protection.

There are also mechanical safety systems such as Whiplash Protection System. The car is also constructed so that a large part of the force of a collision is distributed to beams, pillars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.

The car's safety mode may be activated after a collision if an important function in the car has been damaged.

Warning symbol in driver display

Polestar 2 - Warning symbol in driver display - 1

The warning symbol is illuminated in the driver display when the car is started. The symbol is extinguished after approximately 6 seconds if the

car's safety system is fault-free.

Polestar 2 - Warning symbol in driver display - 2

If the specific warning symbol is broken then the general warning symbol is illuminated instead and the driver display shows the same message.

• Safety during pregnancy (p. 29)
- Seatbelts (p. 32)
- Airbags (p. 38)
• Whiplash Protection System (p. 30)

• Pedestrian Protection System (p. 31)
- Safety mode (p. 47)
- Child safety (p. 49)

WARNING

  • If the warning symbol remains illuminated or is switched on during driving and the message Drive to workshop SRS airbag Service urgent is shown in the driver display, it means that part of one of the safety systems does not have full functionality. Contact Polestar Support.
  • Never modify or repair the car's various safety systems yourself. Defective work in one of the systems can cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury. Contact Polestar Support.

Safety during pregnancy

It is important that the seatbelt is used correctly • Seatbelts (p. 32) during pregnancy, and that pregnant drivers • Power front seat (p. 160) adjust their seating position.

Seatbelt

Polestar 2 - Seatbelt - 1

natural_image 3D illustration of a humanoid robot wearing a seatbelt with red arrows indicating pressure points (no text or symbols present)

The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.

The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as possible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt.

Seating position

As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers must adjust the seat and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). The aim should be to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between abdomen and steering wheel.

• Safety (p. 28)

Whiplash Protection System

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) reduces the risk of whiplash injuries. The system consists of energy absorbing backrests and seat cushion, as well as a specially designed head restraint in the front seats.

WHIPS is deployed in the event of a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the collision and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence.

When WHIPS is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward and the seat cushions move downward to change the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. Its movement helps to absorb some of the forces that can arise and cause whiplash.

Driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possible between the head and the head restraint.

WHIPS and child seats

The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by WHIPS.

natural_image Robot sitting on a chair with a computer monitor and red X marks, no text or symbols present

Do not leave any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or in the rear seat that may prevent WHIPS from functioning.

Seating position

For good protection from WHIPS the driver and passenger must have the correct seating position and make sure that the system's function is not obstructed.

Set the correct seating position in the front seat before driving starts.

WARNING

  • WHIPS is a supplement to the seat-belts. Always use a seatbelt.
  • Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS yourself. Contact Polestar Support.

If the front seats have been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the seats must be replaced. Some of the seats' protective properties may have been lost even if they do not appear damaged.

- Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat's backrest.

If a backrest in the rear seat is lowered then any load must be secured to prevent it from sliding up to the front seat backrest in the event of a collision.

Pedestrian Protection System

WARNING

- If a rear-facing child seat is being used in the rear seat, the corresponding front seat must be moved forwards so that it is not in contact with the child seat.

The Pedestrian Protection System (PPS) is a system which, in certain frontal collisions, contributes to mitigating a pedestrian's impact with the car.

In certain frontal collisions with a pedestrian, the sensors in the front of the car react and the system is activated.

When PPS is activated, the following occur:

  • The bonnet is raised and pushed slightly back.
  • An automatic alarm is sent via Polestar Connect.

The sensors are active at a speed of approx. 25-50 km/h (15-30 mph).

The sensors are designed to detect a collision with an object that has similar properties to those of the human leg.

Seatbelts

WARNING

  • Do not fit any accessories or change anything in the front. Incorrect intervention at the front may cause incorrect function in the system and lead to serious injury and damage to the car.
    Polestar recommends that genuine wiper arms are used and that only genuine parts are used for them.
  • Never modify or repair the system yourself. Contact Polestar Support. Defective work in the system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
  • Contact Polestar Support in the event of any damage to the front of the car so as to ensure that the system is intact.

NOTE

There may be objects in the traffic environment that prompt a signal to the sensors that is similar to a collision with a pedestrian. It is possible that the system will be activated in the event of a collision with such an object.

Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used.

It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide good protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.

WARNING

  • Remember not to clip or hook the seat-belt to hooks or other interior fittings, as this prevents the belt from tightening properly.
  • The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

Putting on and taking off seatbelts

WARNING

- Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Contact Polestar Support.

If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the seatbelt's protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation at the same location as the replaced seatbelt.

Make sure that all passengers have fastened their seatbelts before starting to drive.

Putting on seatbelts

  1. Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.

  2. Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in the intended buckle.

A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.

  1. Position the belt as high as possible without it 4. Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling chafing against your throat. the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the

Seatbelt tensioner

WARNING

• Always insert the tongue of the seat-belt into the buckle on the correct side. The seatbelts and buckles would otherwise possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.
• Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.
- Remember not to clip or hook the seat-belt to hooks or other interior fittings, as this prevents the belt from tightening properly.
- Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.

NOTE

The seatbelt is equipped with an inertia reel that is locked in the following situations:

  • if the belt is extended too quickly.
    • during braking and acceleration.
  • if the car leans heavily.
  • when driving in bends.

The car is fitted with standard seatbelt tensioners and electric seatbelt tensioners that can tension the seatbelts in critical situations and collisions.

Standard seatbelt tensioner

The seatbelts in the front seat and the outer seats in the rear seat are equipped with standard belt pretensioners.

The seatbelt tensioner tensions the seatbelt in the event of a collision with sufficient force in order to more effectively restrain the occupant.

Electric belt pretensioners

The driver and front passenger seatbelts are equipped with an electric seatbelt tensioner.

The seatbelt tensioners work together and can be activated together with the driver support systems of assistance at risk of collision and Rear Collision Warning. In critical situations, such as panic braking, driving off the road (e.g. the car rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground or hits something in the terrain), skidding, or risk of collision, the seatbelt can be tensioned by the seatbelt tensioner's electric motor.

The electric seatbelt tensioner helps to adjust the occupant to a better position, reducing the risk of striking the car's interior and improving the effect of safety systems, such as the car's airbags.

When the critical situation has come to an end, the seatbelt and the electric seatbelt pretensioner are restored automatically, but they can also be restored manually.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Contact Polestar Support.

If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the seatbelt's protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation at the same location as the replaced seatbelt.

IMPORTANT

If the passenger airbag is deactivated, the electric seatbelt tensioner on the passenger side will also be deactivated.

The electric seatbelt tensioner is designed to be reset automatically, but the seatbelt tensioner can be reset manually if the belt remains extended.

  1. Stop the car at a safe place.
  2. Unfasten the seatbelt and then refasten it.

The seatbelt and electric seatbelt tensioner are reset.

WARNING

- The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, disconnect the cables to the starter battery. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Recovering the car. Contact Polestar Support.

Driver airbag

WARNING

- Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation/injury after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

NOTE

The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened. Applies to all belt positions.

It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The detectors sense the force of the collision on the vehicle and the action is adapted accordingly so that none, one or more airbags are deployed.

As a supplement to the seatbelt, the car is equipped with a driver airbag.

Polestar 2 - NOTE - 1

natural_image Interior view of a car showing the rear seat of a red circular object, no text or symbols visible

Driver side front seat airbag.

In the event of a frontal collision, the airbag helps to protect the head, neck, face and chest of the driver as well as the knees and legs.

A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag is inflated. The airbag cushions the initial collision impact for the occupant. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.

Mounting point locations for the rear seat are indicated by symbols on the upholstery of the backrest.

The mounting points for i-Size/ISOFIX for the rear seat are located behind covers in the lower section of the rear seat's backrest, in the outer seats.

It is important to position the child seat in the right place in the car. The choice of location depends, amongst other things, on the type of child seat and whether the passenger airbag is activated.

WARNING

Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat.

Never use a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat if the airbag is activated.

Front-facing passengers (children and adults) must never sit on the front passenger seat if the passenger airbag is deactivated.

Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life or lead to serious personal injury.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to country. Check what does apply.

Child seat mounting

It is important to remember a number of things when a child restraint system is mounted and used, which depend on where the child restraint system is positioned.

Installation in the front seat

  • When fitting rear-facing child seats, check that the passenger airbag is deactivated.
  • When fitting front-facing child seats, check that the passenger airbag is activated.
  • Only use child restraint systems that are recommended by Polestar, universally approved or are semi-universal/vehicle-specific, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
  • ISOFIX child seats can only be fitted when the car is equipped with the ISOFIX console
  • The passenger seat is equipped with the ISO-FIX fixture system and is approved for i-Size
  • The passenger seat is equipped with upper mounting point. Polestar recommends routing the child seat's upper straps through the hole in the head restraint before they are tensioned at the mounting point. If this is not possible, follow the recommendations from the child seat manufacturer.
  • If the child seat is equipped with lower straps, Polestar recommends that the lower mounting points are used with these
  • If the child seat is equipped with support legs, always fit the support leg/support legs directly to the floor. Never fit a support leg to a footrest or other object.
  • The ISOFIX guide can be used in order to facilitate child seat installation.

Installation in the rear seat

  • Only use child restraint systems that are recommended by Polestar, universally approved or are semi-universal/vehicle-specific, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
  • A child seat with support legs must not be fitted in the centre seat.
  • The outer seats are equipped with the ISOFIX fixture system and are approved for i-Size
  • The outer seats are equipped with upper mounting points. Polestar recommends routing the child seat's upper straps through the hole in the head restraint before they are tensioned at the mounting point. If this is not possible, follow the recommendations from the child seat manufacturer.
  • If the child seat is equipped with lower straps, never adjust the position of the seat in front after the straps have been fitted in the lower mounting points. Always remember to remove the lower straps when the child seat is not installed.
  • If the child seat is equipped with support legs, always fit the support leg/support legs directly to the floor. Never fit a support leg to a footrest or other object.

WARNING

Child restraint systems with steel braces or some other design that could rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening button must not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.

Do not secure the straps for the child restraint system into the seat's horizontal adjustment bar or in springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp edges may damage the straps.

Do not allow the upper section of the child restraint system to rest against the windscreen.

NOTE

  • When using child safety equipment, it is important to read the installation instructions included.
    In the event of questions when fitting child safety equipment, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.
  • Never leave a child seat loose in the car. Always secure it according to the instructions for the child seat, even when it is not in use.
  • Long-term installation and use of child seats may cause wear and tear on the car's fittings.

The FreeType Project LICENSE

Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg

Introduction

The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project. This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, documentation and make-files, at the very least. This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:

We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind of bug reports. ('as is' distribution)

You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us. ('royalty-free' usage)

You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')

We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and assume no liability related to The FreeType Project. Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the following text: "Portions of this software are copyright © 1996-2002, 2006 The Free-Type Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved."

"Portions of this software are copyright © 1996-2002, 2006 The FreeType Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved."

2.8 Independent JPEG Group License

The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software README for release 6b of 27-Mar-1998

This distribution contains the sixth public release of the Independent JPEG Group's free JPEG software. You are welcome to redistribute this software and to use it for any purpose, subject to the conditions under LEGAL ISSUES, below. Serious users of this software (particularly those incorporating it into larger programs) should contact IJG at jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net to be added to our electronic mailing list. Mailing list members are notified of updates and have a chance to participate in technical discussions, etc. This software is the work of Tom Lane, Philip Gladstone, Jim Boucher, Lee Crocker, Julian Minguillon, Luis Ortiz, George Phillips, Davide Rossi, Guido Vollbeding, Ge' Weijers, and other members of the Independent JPEG Group. IJG is not affiliated with the official ISO JPEG standards committee.

In plain English:

We don't promise that this software works. (But if you find any bugs, please let us know!) You can use this software for whatever you want. You don't have to pay us. You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you've used the IJG code. In legalese:

The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied, with respect to this software, its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. This software is provided "AS IS", and you, its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality and accuracy. This software is copyright (C) 1991-1998, Thomas G. Lane. All Rights Reserved except as specified below. Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these conditions:

  1. If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this README file must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation.
  2. If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group".
  3. Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, not just to the unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to acknowledge us.

Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from it. This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's software".

We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor. ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source

code if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c2.9 Internet Software Consortium-IBM License for full details.) Copyright (c) 1996 by Internet Software Consor

However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing paragraphs do. The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining code.

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders. We are required to state that:

"The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of CompuServe Incorporated."

Voice control with Google Assistant

Google Assistant, which is integrated in the car, makes it possible to use your voice to control a range of functions, e.g. the climate control system, Google Maps for navigation, the radio and your phone.

What is Google Assistant?

Google Assistant is a digital assistant that makes it possible to use your voice to control various in-car functions and get help with other things such as searching for information, weather forecasts, managing your Google Calendar, etc.

The Assistant understands natural speech, i.e. you do not need any knowledge of specific commands to get the system to do different things. Instead, the user can speak freely with the system, which provides feedback in the form of responses to what was requested or indicating if it cannot understand what the user wanted.

Which areas can be controlled via Google Assistant?

In addition to asking the Assistant for information searched for via Google, searching for weather forecasts, or managing the Google cal-

ender ^9 , etc., a number of in-car functions can be controlled using your voice. These include:

  • media
  • radio
  • phone and SMS ^10
    • navigation via Google Maps
  • climate.

- Google Maps (p. 442)

WARNING

The driver always holds overall responsibility for driving the vehicle in a safe manner and complying with all applicable rules of the road.

NOTE

Poorer connection may have a negative effect on the functions.

Using voice control

Google Assistant makes it possible to use your voice to control different functions in the car or, for example, to ask for information such as a weather forecast.

Launching Google Assistant

Google Assistant can be started in three different ways as follows

  • say the voice command "OK Google" or "Hey Google" ^i1
  • press briefly on the steering wheel button for voice control.
  • tap on the microphone in the centre display ♦.

The system shows that it is active and listening by means of a brief audible signal ^12 and a graphic confirmation in the centre display.

Examples of voice control

After the system has started it is possible to make different requests by speaking freely. Several examples of how to use voice control are given below.

  • "Navigate home" – Show directions to the address stored in Maps as home address for the Google account used to log in.
  • "Read my messages" – Read out text messages sent to the phone.
  • "Raise the temperature" – Raises the temperature in the passenger compartment.
  • "Play music" – Plays back music in selected media app.

Logging in with a Google account means that the assistant will be more personalised when

the car is online. For example, it is possible to call contacts stored in contacts.google.com or enquire about what is entered in Google Calendar.

Active main beam

Active main beam is a function which uses a camera sensor at the top edge of the wind-screen to detect the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, and then switches from main beam to dipped beam or adaptive functionality.

Polestar 2 - Active main beam - 1

natural_image Interior view of a car gear shift lever with a digital display showing a circular icon (no text or symbols on the device itself)

The symbol represents active main beam.

The function can start while driving in the dark when the car's speed is approx. 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can also take streetlights into account. When the camera sensor no longer detects any oncoming car or car in front, main beam is switched on again after about a second.

Activate active main beam

Active main beam is activated and deactivated by turning the left-hand stalk switch to position ☑. The rotating ring then returns to position AUTO. When active main beam is activated, the symbol ⚪luminates with a white glow in the driver display. When main beam is activated, the symbol shines blue.

If active main beam is deactivated while main beam is on the lighting is immediately reset to dipped beam.

Active main beam does not need to be reactivated every time the car is started.

Adaptive functionality

The active main beam has adaptive functionality. In this case, unlike with conventional dimming, the main beam continues to shine on both sides of oncoming vehicles or vehicles in front. Only the part of the beam pointing directly at the vehicle is dimmed.

Polestar 2 - Adaptive functionality - 1

natural_image Top-down view of two cars driving on a road with a light beam, no visible text or symbols

Adaptive functionality: Dipped beam directly towards oncoming vehicle, but continued main beam on both sides of the vehicle.

The main beam is partly dimmed, that is, if the light beam shines slightly brighter than dipped beam, the symbol in the driver display shines blue.

On a motorway or at high speed, the system may shift from adaptive to automatic functionality.

Limitations for active main beam

The camera sensor on which the function is based has limitations.

Wiper blades and washer fluid

Using windscreen wipers

Together with the washer fluid, the wipers aim to improve visibility as well as headlamp pattern

The nozzles for the windscreen wipers are integrated on the top side of the wiper arm. Washer fluid is ejected when window washing is activated and the wiper arms start to move.

The fact that the nozzles are integrated in the wiper arm helps to bring about more effective window washing at different speeds and in various weather conditions, e.g. strong winds. It may also reduce the risk of obscuring the driver's vision, which is otherwise common when washing the windscreen in the traditional way. Integrated nozzles of this type also result in more efficient consumption of washer fluid.

The washer nozzles are heated automatically in cold weather in order to prevent the washer fluid freezing.

Information indicating that the washer fluid needs topping up appears in the driver display when there is approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid remaining.

Climate

Climate

The car is equipped with electronic climate control. The climate control system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.

All climate control system functions are controlled from the centre display and physical buttons in the centre console. Many of the climate functions can be controlled with voice control.

NOTE

- Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher or lower temperature than the actual desired temperature.

Activation of climate control

The climate control functions are available when someone is sitting in the driver's seat or the centre display is in use ^19 .

Climate control starts automatically during fast charging.

With the Interior Air Quality System there is also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the climate control system air intake.

• Climate (p. 174)
• Interior Air Quality System (p. 178)

Perceived temperature Air quality

The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on the perceived temperature, not on actual temperature.

The temperature you select in the passenger compartment corresponds to the physically perceived temperature as affected by factors such as the ambient temperature, air speed, humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around the car at the time.

The system includes a sun sensor which detects on which side the sun is shining into the passenger compartment. This means that the temperature can differ between the right and left-hand side's air vents despite the controls being set for the same temperature on both sides.

• Climate (p. 174)

The materials selected for the passenger compartment and the air cleaning system ensure that the air quality in the passenger compartment is high.

Materials in the passenger compartment

The interior of the passenger compartment is designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.

Tested materials have been developed in order to reduce the quantity of dust in the passenger compartment and to contribute to making the passenger compartment easier to keep clean.

The carpets in both the passenger compartment and the cargo area are removable and easy to remove and clean.

Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Polestar to clean the interior.

Air cleaning system

In addition to the passenger compartment filter, Clean Zone Interior Package and the Interior Air Quality System also help to maintain high air quality in the passenger compartment.

The CleanZone function checks and indicates whether or not all conditions have been met for good air quality in the passenger compartment.

If the conditions have not been met then the CleanZone text in the climate view is white. When all conditions have been met, this is indicated by the text changing colour to blue.

Conditions that need to be met:

  • That all doors and the boot lid are closed.
  • That all side windows are closed.
  • That the air quality system Interior Air Quality System is activated.
    • That the ventilation fan is activated.
    • That the air recirculation is deactivated.

NOTE

CleanZone does not indicate that the air quality is good. It only indicates that the conditions for good air quality have been met.

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) comprises a series of modifications that keep the passenger compartment even clearer from allergy and asthma-inducing substances.

The following is included:

  • An enhanced fan function that means that the fan starts when the car is unlocked with the remote control key. The fan fills the passenger compartment with fresh air. The function starts when required and is disengaged automatically after a time or when one of the passenger compartment doors is opened. The amount of time the fan runs is reduced gradually due to reduced need up until the car is 4 years old.

Interior Air Quality System

Activating and deactivating the air quality sensor

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully automatic air quality system that separates gases and particles to reduce the levels of odours and contaminants in the passenger compartment.

IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and cleans the air in the passenger compartment from contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone.

If the air quality sensor senses that the outside air is contaminated, the air intake is closed and air recirculation is activated.

Section 10

Driver support

Driving support systems

The car is equipped with different driver support systems which can assist the driver in different situations, either actively or passively.

For example, the systems can help the driver to:

  • maintain a set speed
  • maintain a certain time interval to the vehicle ahead
  • prevent a collision by giving a warning to the driver and braking the car
    • help the driver to park.

Some of the systems are fitted as standard while others are options – which alternative applies is market dependent.

• Speed-dependent steering force (p. 243)
• Electronic stability control (p. 244)
• Road Sign Information (p. 248)
• Cruise control functions (p. 254)
• Overtaking Assistance* (p. 276)
• Lane assistance (p. 284)
• Assistance at risk of collision (p. 292)
• Rear Collision Warning* (p. 305)
• BLIS (p. 306)
• Driver Alert Control (p. 310)
- Warning and auto-brake while reversing* (p. 312)
- Park Assist (p. 315)
• Park assist camera (p. 321)
- Radar unit (p. 329)
- Camera unit (p. 341)

WARNING

The functions are supplementary aids - they cannot handle all situations in all conditions.

The driver always bears responsibility that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable road traffic rules and regulations are followed.

Speed-dependent steering force

Speed related power steering causes the steering wheel force to increase with the speed of the car so as to be able to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.

Reduced power

In rare situations, the power steering may need to work at reduced power, and turning the steering wheel may then seem slightly heavier. This may occur when the power steering becomes too hot and then needs temporary cooling. It may also occur if the power supply is disrupted.

Polestar 2 - Reduced power - 1

natural_image White circular steering wheel icon on dark background (no text or symbols)

In the event of reduced power, the message Power steering assistance Temporarily reduced is shown, as well as this symbol in the driver display.

While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functions and steering assistance systems are not available.

Change the steering force level

  1. Tap on-in the centre display.
  2. Press Drive.
  3. Choose the preferred setting for steering.

Steering wheel resistance selection can only be accessed if the car is stationary or is moving at low speed and in a straight line.

- Driving support systems (p. 242)

WARNING

If the temperature increases too much, the servo may be forced to switch off completely. In such a situation, the driver display shows the Stop safely Power steering failure message, combined with a symbol.

Electronic stability control

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's traction.

Polestar 2 - Electronic stability control - 1

natural_image White car icon with wavy lines indicating traffic or damage (no text or symbols)

The driver display shows this symbol when the system is engaged.

Braking from the system may be heard as a pulsing sound, and the car may accelerate

more slowly than expected when applying the throttle.

The system consists of the following subfunctions:

  • Stability function ^34
  • Spin control and traction control system
  • Engine Drag Control
  • Trailer Stability Assist

Stability function ^24

The function checks the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car.

Spin control and traction control system

The function is active at low speed and brakes the drive wheels that spin so that additional traction shall be transferred to the drive wheels that are not spinning.

The function can also prevent the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during acceleration.

Engine Drag Control

Engine Drag Control (ED ^® ) can prevent involuntary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gear on slippery road surfaces.

Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's ability to steer the car.

Trailer Stability Assist ^36

The function of Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) is to stabilise a car with a trailer connected in situations where the combination has begun to fishtail.

  • Driving support systems (p. 242)
  • Activating and deactivating sport mode for electronic stability control (p. 246)
  • Symbols and messages for electronic stability control (p. 246)

Electronic Stability Control in sport mode

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE

Trailer Stability Assist (TSR) is disabled when ESC sport mode is selected.

The stability system (ESC ^9 ) is always activated – it cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select ECS Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experience.

With Sport mode selected, interventions from the system are reduced and the car is allowed to skid more and greater control than normal is thus transferred to the driver.

When Sport mode is selected, the function can be considered as deactivated, despite the function continuing to help the driver in many cases.

Sport mode also provides more traction even if the car has become bogged down or is driving on a loose surface, such as in sand or deep snow.

The Road Sign Information function (RSI) can help the driver to observe speed-related road signs and certain prohibition signs.

Polestar 2 - Road Sign Information - 1

text_image 2 4 8 9 100 50 2 5 7 9 120

Examples of readable signs ^44 .

RSI can provide information about such things as current speed, when overtaking is prohibited or when the direction of travel is one-way.

If the car passes a speed limit sign, it will be shown in the driver display.

Road sign information (RSFP) also includes sub-functions that can warn the driver if a speed limit has been exceeded or in connection with speed cameras.

  • Activating and deactivating road sign information (p. 249)
  • Display mode for road sign information (p. 250)
  • Warning for speed limitation and speed camera from road sign information (p. 252)
  • Limitations of Road Sign Information (p. 254)

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE

In certain markets, the Road Sign Information function is only available in combination with map data.

Activating and deactivating road sign information

The Road Sign Information function (RSI) is optional – the driver can choose to activate or deactivate this function.

NOTE

  • If the automatic speed limiter function is activated, road sign information is shown in the driver display even if the Road Sign Information function is not activated.
    • To remove road sign information from the driver display, you must deactivate both the automatic speed limiter and Road Sign Information.
  • When the automatic speed limiter function is activated but Road Sign Information is deactivated, no warnings are given from Road Sign Information. Road Sign Information must also be activated in order to receive warnings.

Display mode for road sign information

The Road Sign Information function (R\$9) shows road signs in different ways depending on the sign and the situation.

Polestar 2 - Display mode for road sign information - 1

text_image 80 60th Speed 72 1 hour 72

Example ^48 of detected speed information.

When the function detects a road sign with an imposed speed limit the driver display shows the sign as a symbol.

Since speed-related information is obtained from map data, the driver display can show or change information on the speed limit without having passed a speed-related sign.

Polestar 2 - Display mode for road sign information - 2

natural_image Three circular traffic signs with car icons, no readable text or symbols

An additional sign, such as "no overtaking", may be shown together with the speed limit symbol.

Polestar 2 - Display mode for road sign information - 3

natural_image Simple gray circular icon with a horizontal white bar in the center (no text or symbols)

If the driver enters a road marked with this no-entry sign on each side, or on one side with confirmation from map data, the symbol for this sign flashes on and off in the driver display to warn the driver. The

driver can also be given an acoustic warning

when driving towards a no-entry road if the function for acoustic warning for road signs is activated. ^49

Speed limit or end of motorway

When the function detects an "indirect speed limit sign" stating the end of the current speed limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a symbol may be shown with the corresponding road sign in the driver display.

Normal speed limit signs are displayed in normal cases even if an indirect speed limit sign has been passed – indirect speed limit signs are only shown if map data has no information on the speed limit for the section of road in question.

Example of indirect speed limit sign:

Polestar 2 - Speed limit or end of motorway - 1

natural_image Simple geometric diagram with a circle and diagonal lines, no text or symbols present.

End of all restrictions.

Polestar 2 - Speed limit or end of motorway - 2

natural_image Traffic sign indicating no intersection or barrier, with a diagonal line crossing through the center (no text or symbols)

End of motorway.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after 10-30 seconds and remains so until the next speed related sign is passed.

Changed speed limit

When passing a direct speed limit sign when a speed limit changes a symbol with the corres-

ponding road sign appears in the driver's display.

Polestar 2 - Changed speed limit - 1

text_image 90

Example of direct speed limit sign.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after about 5 minutes until the next speed-related sign is passed.

Speed limit signs are shown in the driver display when map data contains information on the speed limit for the road section in question, even if no direct sign has been passed. If there is no information in map data, the sign goes off after approx. 3 minutes after the last passing of a speed limit sign.

Additional signs

Polestar 2 - Additional signs - 1

Examples of additional signs.

Sometimes different speed limits are signed for the same road - an additional sign then indicates the circumstances under which the different speeds apply. The road section may be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog, for example.

An additional sign relating to rain is only shown if the windscreen wipers are in use.

If a trailer is connected to the car's electrical system and you pass a speed sign with the additional sign "trailer", the indicated speed will appear on the driver display.

Polestar 2 - Examples of additional signs. - 1

text_image 16-18h 300 m

Some speed limits only apply after a certain distance or at a certain time of day. The driver's attention is drawn to this fact by means of a symbol for an additional sign below the speed symbol.

Warning for speed limitation and speed camera from road sign information

Road sign information (RSI ^50 ) includes subfunctions that can warn the driver if a speed limit has been exceeded or in connection with speed cameras.

Another warning is available only when the driver has reduced the speed by at least 5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds the speed limit again, for whom the car reaches a new/different speed limit area.

Road sign information can give information on speed cameras ahead in the driver display ^52 .

If the car exceeds a detected speed limit with the speed warning function activated, a speed warning is given when the car approaches a speed camera, provided that the navigation map for the area in question contains information on speed cameras.

Speed limit warning

Polestar 2 - Speed limit warning - 1

text_image 90

The speed warning is given by the driver display symbol showing the applicable maximum permitted speed temporarily flashing when this speed is exceeded.

A speed warning is always given if the speed limit is exceeded in connection with speed camera information.

Speed warning warns the driver when the applicable speed limit or stored maximum speed is exceeded – this warning is repeated once after approx. 30 seconds within the same speed limit area unless the driver reduces the speed.

Adjusting warnings from road sign information

NOTE

  • To get an acoustic warning if you exceed the required speed, the speed warning function must be activated and the visual warning for road signs subfunction must be set to On. An acoustic warning is then given if the car's speed exceeds the speed indicated by the road sign information function in the driver display.
  • An option is available to receive an acoustic warning for speed cameras independently of the car's speed and exceeded speed limit, even if the function for acoustic warning for road signs is deactivated.

The driver can select which warnings are activated for road sign information (RSI) and adjust the limit for them.

  1. Tap on-in the centre display.
  2. Press Assist.
  3. Tap on for road sign information and select the desired setting.

You can choose to do the following:

  • Activate speed warning
  • Adjust the limit for Speed Warning ^54
  • Activating acoustic warning in connection with speed warning ^5
  • Activating acoustic warning in connection with speed camera warning ^56

Limitations of Road Sign Information

Cruise control functions

The Road Sign Information (RSI) function may have limitations in certain situations.

Examples of what can reduce the function are as follows:

  • Faded signs
    • Signs positioned on bends
  • Rotated or damaged signs
    • Signs positioned high above the roadway
  • Fully/partially obscured or poorly positioned signs
    • signs completely or partly covered with frost, snow and/or dirt
  • digital road maps are out-of-date, inaccurate or have no speed information ^58

There are several driver support systems that can assist you while driving in order to maintain a suitable speed depending on situation. Here is a summary to make them more easily distinguishable from each other.

It is recommended that you read all sections in the Manual that relate to a function in order to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

The cruise control functions must first be selected in the centre display before they can be activated using the steering wheel button. This applies to speed limiter (SL ^63 ), automatic speed limiter (ASL ^64 ), cruise control (CC ^65 ), adaptive cruise control (ACC ^66 ) and Pilot Assist.

Select the desired function with the button for cruise control functions in the centre display under Assist.

The button's symbol changes depending on the function selected, and the symbol in the driver display is visible but extinguished.

  1. When the desired function is selected – press the steering wheel button to activate.

The symbol in the driver display is illuminated – the function is started and the current speed is stored as maximum speed.

  1. If the function is set in standby mode – press the steering wheel button to reactivate.

The driver display's cruise control indicator illuminates – the car then follows the last stored speed again.

Change between speed limiter and automatic speed limiter

- When the speed limiter is selected – press the steering wheel button to change to automatic speed limiter. Press again to change back.

Change between adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist

- When the adaptive cruise control is selected - press the steering wheel button to change to Pilot Assist. Press again to change back.

Criteria

Certain conditions must be met in order to start any of the functions.

Speed limiter and automatic speed limiter

  • The speed limiter cannot be activated until after the engine has been started.
  • The lowest maximum speed that can be stored is 30 km/h (20 mph).

Cruise control

- In order to start the cruise control from the standby mode, the car's current speed must be 30 km/h (20 mph) or higher.

Adaptive cruise control

  • The driver's seatbelt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
  • There must be a vehicle (the "target vehicle") within reasonable distance in front of the car, or the current speed must be at least 15 km/h (9 mph).

Pilot Assist

  • The driver's seatbelt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
  • The lane's edge markings must be clear and must be detected by the car.
  • There must be a vehicle (the "target vehicle") within reasonable distance in front of the car, or the current speed must be at least 15 km/h (9 mph).
  • The speed must not exceed 140 km/h (87 mph).
  • The driver must keep his/her hands on the steering wheel.

• Cruise control functions (p. 254)
- Deactivating cruise control functions (p. 259)
- Standby mode for cruise control (p. 263)
- Standby mode for adaptive cruise control* (p. 266)

WARNING

A significant increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the steering wheel button.

Deactivating cruise control functions

Speed limiter

The cruise control functions can be deactivated using the steering wheel button. The function is then set in standby mode. This applies to speed limiter (SL ^67 ), automatic speed limiter (ASL ^68 ), cruise control (CC ^69 ), adaptive cruise control (ACC ^70 ) and Pilot Assist.

- Press the steering wheel button

The symbol and indicators are extinguished – the speed limiter is set in standby mode, and the driver can exceed the stored speed limit.

The speed limiter (S ^1 ) can be likened to a reverse cruise control - the driver regulates the speed using the accelerator pedal but is prevented from accidentally exceeding a stored maximum speed by the speed limiter.

Temporary acceleration

The speed limiter can be temporarily overridden when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, without the speed limiter first having to be set in standby mode - e.g. to be able to quickly accelerate the car out of a situation.

When another function is selected in the centre display, both the driver display symbol and the indicator for the previously selected function are hidden – this deletes the set/stored maximum speed.

• Cruise control functions (p. 254)
- Selecting and activating the cruise control function (p. 257)

WARNING

When cruise control functions are in standby mode, the driver must intervene and regulate both speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.

In which case, proceed as follows:

  1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and release it to interrupt acceleration when the desired speed has been reached.

In this mode, the speed limiter is still activated and the driver display's symbol is therefore illuminated.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when the temporary acceleration is finished.
The car is then engine-braked automatically to below the last stored maximum speed.

Steep roads

On steep hills, the speed limiter's braking effect may be inadequate and the stored maximum speed may be exceeded.

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) function helps the driver to adapt the car's maximum speed to the speed shown on the road signs.

Polestar 2 - WARNING - 1

text_image 000

The function has a dynamic symbol that changes appearance when the function is active.

The colour of the symbol indicates the status of the function:

Symbol Meaning
IlluminatedAutomatic speed limiter is active.
Grey Automatic speed limiter is selected but in standby mode.
Extin-guishedAutomatic speed limiter is inactive. Other cruise control is selected.

Speed information from road signs

The automatic speed limiter uses speed information from the Road Sign Information (RS) function to automatically adapt the car's maximum speed.

Road sign information bases its information on the speed-dependent road signs that the car passes, as well as map data. Physical signs passed have highest priority, which may be necessary for roadworks, for example.

If road sign information cannot interpret and provide speed information to the driver support systems, the automatic speed limiter is set in standby mode and changes to normal speed limiter. In such cases the driver must intervene and brake to a suitable speed.

The automatic speed limiter will be reactivated when road sign information can once again interpret and provide speed information.

Tolerance level for automatic speed limiter

Automatic speed limiter can be set to different tolerance levels. The tolerance is adjusted in the same way as the speed setting is in the speed limiter.

If, for example, the car follows a signed speed limit of 70km/h (43 mph) the driver can instead choose to allow the car to maintain 75 km/h (47 mph).

The tolerance is followed until a road sign with a lower or higher speed is passed - then the car follows the new signed speed limit instead and the tolerance is deleted from the memory.

WARNING

  • Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-related road sign, the speed information from the Road Sign Information to automatic speed limiter function may be incorrect – in such cases the driver must intervene him/herself and accelerate or brake to a suitable speed.
  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.

  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.

  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE

The maximum selectable tolerance is +/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Cruise control

The cruise control (CC ^4 ) helps the driver maintain an even speed, which can result in more relaxed driving on motorways and long, straight roads in regular traffic flows.

Use engine braking instead of the foot brake

With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with less frequent application of the foot brake. On a hill, it may sometimes be desirable to start moving a little faster and limit the acceleration only by engine braking. In this case the driver can temporarily disable foot brake application by Cruise Control.

To do so, proceed as follows:

  • Depress the accelerator pedal about halfway down and release.

    Cruise Control will disengage its automatic foot braking and then uses engine braking only.

Standby mode for cruise control

Cruise control (CC ^75 ) can be deactivated and set in standby mode. This can take place automatically or due to intervention by the driver.

Standby mode means that the function is selected in the centre display but not activated. The symbol in the driver display is extinguished and the cruise control does not then regulate the speed.

Related information

• Cruise control (p. 262)

Standby mode on driver intervention

Cruise control is deactivated and set to standby mode if any of the following occur:

• The foot brake is used.
- The gear selector is moved to the N position.
- The driver maintains a speed higher than the stored speed for more than 1 minute.

The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

Automatic standby mode may be activated if any of the following occur, for example:

• The wheels lose traction.
• The engine speed is too low/high.
• The brake temperature is too high.
• The speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).

The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.

Adaptive cruise control ^76

The adaptive cruise control (ACC) can help the driver to maintain a constant speed, combined with a preset time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Polestar 2 - Adaptive cruise control ^76 - 1

text_image Diagram illustrating car safety system with labeled components and sensor readings for vehicle detection

The camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead.

① Camera unit
② Radar unit
③ Distance measurement to vehicle ahead

An adaptive cruise control can provide a more relaxing driving experience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows.

The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera and radar units detect a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is automatically adapted using the preset time interval to the vehicle ahead. When the road is clear again the car returns to the selected speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used to adjust the speed.

Adaptive cruise control attempts to:

• regulate the speed smoothly. In situations that demand sudden braking the driver must brake himself/herself. This applies in cases of large speed differences or if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to the limitations of the radar unit, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.
- follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar unit cannot see any vehicle ahead, the car will instead maintain the speed stored by the driver. This also takes place if the speed of the vehicle ahead increases and exceeds the stored speed.

Steep roads and/or heavy load

Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. The function may have difficulty in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill gradients - in which case, be extra attentive and ready to brake.

Do not use adaptive cruise control if the car has a heavy load or with a trailer connected to the car.

Adaptive cruise control is deactivated and set to standby mode if any of the following occur:

• The foot brake is used.
- The gear selector is moved to the N position.
- The driver maintains a speed higher than the stored speed for more than 1 minute.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

Automatic standby mode may be enabled if any of the following occur:

  • Any of the systems on which adaptive cruise control is dependent stops working, e.g. stability control/anti-skid (ES ^® ).
    • The driver opens the door.
    • The driver takes off the seatbelt.
    • The engine speed is too low/high.
    • One or more wheels lose traction.

• The brake temperature is high.
• The parking brake is applied.
- The camera and/or radar units are covered by e.g. snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radio waves are blocked).
- The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and ACC is uncertain whether the vehicle ahead is a stationary vehicle or an object, such as a speed bump.
- The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns off so that ACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.

- Adaptive cruise control* (p. 264)

WARNING

- With the adaptive cruise control is in standby mode, the driver must intervene and regulate both speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.

- When the adaptive cruise control is in standby mode and the car comes too close to a vehicle ahead, the driver may be warned of the short distance by the Distance Warning function instead.

Symbols and messages for adaptive cruise control ^31

WARNING

  • With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned via an acoustic signal and a message in the driver display.
  • The driver must then regulate the car's speed, apply the brakes as needed and maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.

A number of symbols and messages regarding the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can be shown. Here are some examples.

Pilot Assist ^83

Pilot Assist can help the driver to drive the car between the lane's side markings as well as to maintain an even speed, combined with a preselected time interval to the vehicle ahead. lane markings on the road surface using the camera and radar units. The preset time interval is maintained with automatic speed adjustment whilst the steering assistance helps to position the car in the lane.

Reading lane markings

Reading the distance

Pilot Assist regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used to adjust the speed.

Pilot Assist attempts to:

• regulate the speed smoothly. In situations that demand sudden braking the driver must brake himself/herself. This applies in cases of large speed differences or if the car in front brakes suddenly. Due to the limitations of the camera and radar units, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.

- follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar unit cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the speed set and stored by the driver. This also takes place if the speed of the vehicle ahead increases and exceeds the stored speed.

Get to know Pilot Assist

Pilot Assist helps to steer the car. You may need to drive several kilometres with Pilot Assist before you feel completely comfortable with the function. It is important to be aware of all the applications and limitations of this function so that you can use all its benefits safely.

The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended for use on motorways and similar major roads where it can contribute to more comfortable driving and a more relaxed driving experience.

The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist scans the distance to the vehicle ahead and the lane's

The position of the car in the lane

When Pilot Assist helps to steer, it attempts to place your car halfway between the visible lane markings. For a smoother drive, it is a good idea to allow the car to find a good position. The driver can always adjust the position him/herself by increasing the steering input. It is important for the driver to make sure the car is positioned safely in the lane.

If Pilot Assist does not position the car in an appropriate way in the lane, it is recommended to turn Pilot Assist off or switch to Adaptive cruise control.

Steering assistance

Polestar 2 - Steering assistance - 1

natural_image Simple icon of a hand holding a steering wheel, no text or symbols present

The current status of steering assistance is indicated by the colour of the steering wheel's symbol:

- Illuminated steering wheel indicates active steering assis-

tance.

- Extinguished steering wheel (as in illustration) indicates deactivated steering assistance.

Pilot Assist steering assistance takes into account the speed of the preceding car and the lane markings. The driver can at any time adjust steering intervention from Pilot Assist and steer in another direction, e.g. to change lane or avoid an obstruction on the road. In this case, resistance is felt in the steering wheel as long as steering assistance is active.

Temporary disabling of steering assistance

When the direction indicators are used, Pilot Assist steering assistance is temporarily disengaged. When the direction indicator is switched off, steering assistance is reactivated automatically if the lane's edge markings can still be detected.

If Pilot Assist is unable to interpret the lane clearly, e.g. if the camera unit is unable to see the edge markings for the lane, Pilot Assist temporarily disables steering assistance. Functions for speed and distance regulation continue to remain active. Steering assistance is resumed when the lane can be interpreted again. In these situations, slight vibration in the steering wheel may alert the driver to the fact that steering assistance has been deactivated temporarily.

Round bends and when the road splits

Pilot Assist interacts with the driver, who should therefore not wait for the steering assistance from Pilot Assist but should always be prepared to increase his/her own steering input, especially in bends.

When the car approaches an exit or if the lane splits, the driver should steer towards the desired lane so that Pilot Assist must detect the desired direction.

Hands on the steering wheel

Polestar 2 - Hands on the steering wheel - 1

natural_image Icon of hands holding a car wheel, symbolizing speed or speed (no text or symbols)

In order for Pilot Assist to function, the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel. It is important for the driver always to carry on being active and alert when driving as Pilot Assist is unable to read all sit-

uations and may toggle between off and on without prior warning.

  1. If Pilot Assist detects that the driver is not keeping his/her hands on the steering wheel, the system provides a warning by means of a symbol and text message in the driver display to encourage the driver to actively steer the car.
  2. If the driver's hands still cannot be detected on the steering wheel after a few seconds the prompt to actively steer the car is repeated supplemented by an audible signal.
  3. If Pilot Assist cannot detect the driver's hands on the steering wheel after a further few seconds the audible signal becomes intensive and the steering function is deactivated. Pilot Assist must then be restarted using the steering wheel button.
  4. In connection with Pilot Assist being switched off, additional acoustic and visual

warnings are given, as well as that the car's system brakes the car. This braking judders in order to attract the driver's attention.

  1. The system continues to brake the car to standstill in its own lane and the hazard warning flashers are activated ^52 .

Steep roads and/or heavy load

Bear in mind that Pilot Assist is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. The function may have difficulty in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill gradients - in which case, be extra attentive and ready to brake.

Do not use Pilot Assist if the car has a heavy load or with a trailer connected to the car.

WARNING

  • Pilot Assist steering assistance is automatically deactivated and is resumed without prior warning.
  • Do not wait for all levels of warning and assistance from the systems, but act immediately if any warning signal is triggered.
  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

WARNING

- In certain situations, Pilot Assist steering assistance may have difficulty helping the driver in the right way or it may be automatically deactivated - in which case, the use of Pilot Assist is not recommended. Examples of such situations may be that:

  • the lane markings are unclear, worn, missing, or they cross each other, or if there are several sets of lane markings.
  • the lane division is changed, e.g. when the lanes split or merge, as well as on slip roads.
  • at roadworks and sudden changes in the roadway, e.g. when the lines may stop marking the correct route.
  • edges or other lines than lane markings are present on or near the road, e.g. kerbs, joints or repairs to the road surface, edges of barriers, roadside edges or strong shadows.
    • the lane is narrow or winding.
    • the lane contains ridges or holes.
  • weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain, snow or fog or slush or impaired view with poor light conditions, back-lighting, wet road surface etc.

The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations:

- High kerbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers, etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, they may be

WARNING

detected incorrectly as lane markings, with a subsequent risk of contact between the car and such obstacles. The driver must ensure him/herself that the car is at a suitable distance from such obstacles.

  • The camera and radar sensor does not have the capacity to detect all oncoming objects and obstacles in traffic environments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles or objects which completely or partially block the route.
  • Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians, animals, etc.
  • The recommended steering input is force limited, which means that it cannot always help the driver to steer and keep the car within the lane.
  • The car's functions have the option to use information from map data which may result in varied performance.
  • Pilot Assist is switched off if the power steering for speed related steering force is working with reduced power – e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
    Pilot Assist must only be used if there are clear lane lines painted on each side of the lane. All other use involves increased risk of contact with surrounding obstacles that cannot be detected by the function.

Display view for adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist ^35

WARNING

  • This is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible and must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle ahead.
  • The function does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
  • Do not use the function in demanding situations, such as in city traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads.

IMPORTANT

Driver support components must only be maintained at a workshop – contact Polestar Support.

NOTE

  • Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected to the car's electrical system.
  • This function uses the car's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Overtaking Assistance

Overtaking Assistance can help the driver when overtaking other vehicles. The function can be used with adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist.

When adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and the driver indicates the intention to overtake by activating the left-hand direction indicator ^90 the systems can help by accelerating the car towards the vehicle ahead before the car reaches the overtaking lane.

The function then delays reducing speed in order to avoid premature braking when the driver's car is approaching a slower vehicle.

The function remains active until the driver's vehicle has cleared the overtaken vehicle.

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

WARNING

- Be aware that this function can be activated in more situations than during overtaking, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to indicate a change of lane or exit to another road – the car will then accelerate briefly.

Use Overtaking Assistance

Overtaking assistance can be used with adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist.

The following conditions must exist for Overtaking Assistance to be activated:

  • there must be a vehicle in front (the "target vehicle")
  • your car's current speed is at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
  • the stored speed must be high enough for overtaking to take place safely.

To start the Overtaking Assistance:

- Activate the direction indicator. Use the left-hand direction indicator in a left-hand drive car, or right in a right-hand drive car.

Overtaking assistance starts acceleration and shortens the time interval to the vehicle ahead for a limited time in order to facilitate overtaking. If the overtaking does not proceed, the time interval returns to the preset.

  • Pilot Assist* (p. 268)
  • Standby mode for adaptive cruise control* (p. 266)
  • Standby mode for Pilot Assist* (p. 273)

WARNING

When using the Overtaking Assistance System, the driver should be aware that there may be undesired acceleration if the conditions suddenly change.

Some situations should therefore be avoided, such as if:

  • the car is approaching an exit to turn-off in the same direction as overtaking would normally occur
  • the vehicle ahead slows down before the driver's car has crossed over into the overtaking lane.
  • the traffic in the overtaking lane slows down.
  • a right-hand drive car is driven in a county with left-hand traffic (or vice versa).

Situations of this type are avoided by setting the adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist to standby mode.

Warning from cruise control functions in the event of a risk of collision

The driver support systems of adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist can warn the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly becomes too short.

③ Distance measurement with the camera unit and radar unit

Adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist use approx. 40% of the capacity of the foot brake. If the car needs to be braked more heavily than the driver support is capable of and the driver does not brake, the warning lamp and acoustic warning are activated to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.

  • Driving support systems (p. 242)
    • Adaptive cruise control* (p. 264)

If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.

When the driver supports are following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle – the driver supports will slow down for the stationary vehicle.

Automatic standby mode with change of target

The driver supports are disengaged and set in standby mode:

  • when the speed is below 5 km/h ((3 mph)) and the driver supports are uncertain whether the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, such as a speed bump.
  • when the speed is below 5 km/h ((3 mph)) and the vehicle ahead turns off so that the driver supports no longer have a vehicle to follow.

Related information

- Driving support systems (p. 242)

WARNING

When the driver supports are following another vehicle at speeds in excess of approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the driver supports will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.

• The driver must then intervene him/herself and brake.

Setting the stored speed for cruise control functions

It is possible to set a stored speed for the speed limiter, cruise control, adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist functions.

Polestar 2 - Setting the stored speed for cruise control functions - 1

text_image 72 72 3

① +: Increases the stored speed
② —: Reduces stored speed
③ Stored speed

- Change a set speed with short presses on the steering wheel buttons (1) or (2) or by pressing and holding them.

  • Short presses: Each press changes the speed in increments of +/- 5 ~km / h (+/- 5 mph) .
  • Press and hold: Release the button when the speed indicator (3) has moved to the desired speed.

    The speed set after the last button press is stored in the memory.

Actuation with the accelerator pedal

If the driver increases the car's speed using the accelerator pedal before pressing the steering wheel button + (1), the speed stored will be the car's speed when the button is depressed, provided the driver's foot is on the accelerator

pedal at the moment when the button is depressed.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Possible speed

Note that the lowest programmable speed is 30 km/h (20 mph) – even though it is capable of following another vehicle down to 0 km/h, a speed lower than 30 km/h (20 mph) cannot be selected/stored.

The driver support functions can follow another vehicle at speeds from 0 km/h up to 200 km/h (125 mph).

Pilot Assist can give steering assistance from almost stationary up to 140 km/h (87 mph).

Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the driver display as 1-5 horizontal lines - the more lines the longer the time interval. One line represents about 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines represents about 3 seconds.

The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary significantly in certain situations in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly.

  • Driving support systems (p. 242)
    • Adaptive cruise control* (p. 264)
  • Pilot Assist* (p. 268)

WARNING

  • Only use a time window that suits the current traffic conditions.
  • The driver should be aware that short time windows limit the amount of time available to react and take action in an unexpected traffic situation.

NOTE

- When the symbol in the driver display shows a car and a steering wheel, Pilot Assist follows a vehicle in front at a preset time gap.

When only one steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle within a reasonable distance ahead.

- When the symbol in the driver display shows two cars, adaptive cruise control is following the vehicle in front at a pre-set time interval.

When only one car is shown, there is no vehicle within a reasonable distance ahead.

Automatic braking with cruise control functions

NOTE

• The higher the speed the longer the calculated distance in metres for a given time interval.
- Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.
- If the driver supports do not seem to respond with a speed increase when activated, it may be because the time window to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the set time window.

The driver support systems adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist have a special brake function in slow traffic and while stationary. In certain situations, the parking brake is applied in order to keep the car stationary.

Brake function in slow queues and while stationary

For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights, driving is automatically resumed if the stops do not exceed approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the vehicle in front starts moving again then the driver support function is set in standby mode with automatic braking.

- The function is reactivated in one of the following ways:

- Press the steering wheel button ⚙

- Depress the accelerator pedal.

The function resumes following the vehicle ahead if it starts moving forward within approx. 6 seconds.

Cessation of automatic braking

In some situations, automatic braking ceases on coming to a standstill and the function is set in standby mode. This means that the brakes are released and the car may start to roll - the driver must therefore intervene and brake the car himself/herself to keep it stationary.

This may take place in any of the following situations:

• The driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal.
• The parking brake is applied.
- The gear selector is moved to N or R position.

- The driver sets adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist to standby mode.

Automatic activation of parking brake

The parking brake is applied if the function is holding the car stationary with the foot brake and:

  • The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt.
  • The function has kept the car stationary for more than approx. 5 minutes.
    • The brakes have overheated.
  • Driving support systems (p. 242)
  • Adaptive cruise control* (p. 264)
  • Pilot Assist* (p. 268)
  • Brake functions (p. 375)

WARNING

  • A significant increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the steering wheel button.
  • Driver support systems only warn of obstacles which their camera and radar units have detected – hence a warning may not be given, or it may be given with a certain delay.
  • Never wait for a warning or intervention. Apply the brakes when the situation requires.

NOTE

The driver supports can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 5 minutes – then the parking brake is applied and the function is disengaged.

Before the driver supports can be reactivated, the parking brake must be released.

Lane assistance

The function of the Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) is to help the driver to reduce the risk of the car accidentally leaving its own lane on motorways and similar major routes.

Lane Keeping Aid steers the car back into its lane and/or alerts the driver with vibrations in the steering wheel.

Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed range 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads with clearly visible side lines.

On narrow roads the function may be unavailable, in which case it goes into standby mode.

The function becomes available again when the road is wide enough.

Lane assistance warns with steering wheel vibrations.

Depending on settings, lane assistance acts in accordance with the following:

• Steering assistance activated: When the car is approaching a lane line, the function will actively steer the car back into its lane by applying a slight torque to the steering wheel.

- Warning activated: If the car is about to cross a lane line, the driver is warned by means of vibrations in the steering wheel.

There is also an alternative where both steering assistance and warning are activated simultaneously.

Lane assistance does not intervene
Polestar 2 - Lane assistance - 4

natural_image Diagram showing a curved road with multiple cars and red directional arrows indicating motion or movement (no text or symbols)

Lane assistance does not engage on sharp inside curves.

In some situations, lane assistance allows lane lines to be crossed without intervening with either steering assistance or a warning – e.g. when using the direction indicators or if the car is allowed to cut the corners in bends.

Hands on the steering wheel

For steering assistance with lane assistance to work, the driver must have his/her hands on the steering wheel, which the system will continue to monitor.

If the driver does not keep his/her hands on the steering wheel, a warning signal is heard and a message encourages the driver to steer the car actively:

- Standby until steering applied Lane Keeping Aid

If the driver does not follow the advice and start to steer, a warning sound can be heard until the driver starts to steer the car again.

Difference between Pilot Assist and lane assistance

Related information

• Lane assistance (p. 284)
- Limitations of Lane assistance (p. 287)

Pilot Assist is a comfort function that can help you to keep your car within its own lane and maintain a safe distance from vehicles in front of you. Lane assistance(LKA ^87 ) is a function which, in a similar way, can help you in some situations to reduce the risk of your car accidentally leaving its own lane.

Pilot Assist

Pilot Assist can help you to steer your car between the lane markings, as well as to maintain a preset speed and time interval to the vehicle ahead. The function can also help to maintain an advantageous position in the lane using the lane's lane lines.

What does Pilot Assist do?

  • Can help to keep the car within its lane by assisting steering in some cases.
  • Can help to maintain a preset speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead by means of acceleration and braking operations.

How do I know when Pilot Assist is operational?

Symbols in the driver display in the car indicate when adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist are operational.

Assistance at risk of collision ^98

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Assistance at risk of collision ^99 can assist the driver to avoid a collision via a warning, automatic braking and steering assistance.

Polestar 2 - WARNING - 1

text_image Diagram showing car safety system with speaker, car icon, and sensor icons in a vehicle interior

Function overview

① Light signal in the event of a risk of collision
② Warning signal in the event of a risk of collision
③ Distance measurement with the camera unit and radar unit

The driver or passengers are not normally aware of the function - it only intervenes in a situation where a collision is immediately imminent.

The function can help the driver to avoid a collision when driving in queues, e.g. when changes in the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in attention, could lead to an incident. The function then activates a short, sharp braking procedure, normally stopping the car just behind the vehicle ahead.

The function cannot be deactivated but is always activated. However, system sensitivity can be selected.

Subfunctions

Assistance at risk of collision can perform the following functions if necessary:

  • Collision warning
  • Assisted braking
    • Automatic braking
  • Steering assistance

Step 1 – Collision warning

In the event of a risk of collision with a pedestrian, cyclist or vehicle, the driver's attention is alerted by means of a visual, acoustic and brake pulse warning. At lower speeds or with heavy braking or acceleration there will be no brake pulse warning as the intensity of the brake pulse varies with the speed of the car.

Step 2 – Assisted braking

Assisted braking reinforces the driver's braking action if the system considers that the braking is not sufficient to avoid a collision.

Step 3 – Automatic braking

If the driver has not started to take evasive action and the risk of collision is imminent then the automatic braking function is deployed - this takes place regardless of whether the driver brakes. Braking then takes place with full brake force in order to reduce collision speed, or with limited brake force if it is sufficient to avoid a collision.

The seatbelt tensioner can be activated in connection with the engagement of the automatic brake function.

The function is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention. Automatic braking takes place only after or at the same time as the collision warning.

When automatic braking has prevented a collision with a stationary object, the car remains stationary in anticipation of positive action by the driver. If the car has been braked to avoid collision with a slower vehicle in front, its speed is reduced to match that of the vehicle in front.

The driver can always interrupt a braking intervention by firmly depressing the accelerator pedal.

When the function is activated and brakes, the brake lights are switched on. The driver display shows a text message to advise that the function is or has been active.

Steering assistance

The function can help the driver reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally or colliding with another vehicle or obstacle by actively steering the car back into its lane or swerving. Steering assistance is not part of a sequence but can be applied regardless of when the other steps occur.

After automatic engagement, the driver display indicates that this has occurred via a text message.

WARNING

  • The function must not be used by the driver to change his/her driving style - the driver must not rely on function alone and allow it to do the braking.
  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.

- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.

- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE

It is always the driver who decides how much the car should steer – the car can never take command.

Assistance at risk of collision ^100 can detect vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.

The function can detect pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles that are stationary or moving in the same direction as the car and are ahead. The function can also detect pedestrians or cyclists that are crossing the road in front of the car.

Vehicles

In order that the function shall be able to detect a vehicle in the dark, the vehicle's front and rear lights must be working and clearly illuminated.

Cyclists
Polestar 2 - Vehicles - 1

natural_image Silhouette of a person riding a bicycle and another person on a scooter, both without any text or symbols.

Examples of what the function interprets as a cyclist — with clear body outline and bicycle outline.

Good performance requires that the camera and radar units that detect a cyclist must receive the clearest possible information about the body and bicycle outline, requiring the ability to identify the bicycle, head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body plus a normal human pattern of movement.

If large parts of the cyclist's body or bicycle are not visible to the function's camera then the system cannot detect a cyclist.

For the function to be able to detect a cyclist, he/she must be an adult and riding a bicycle designed for adults.

Pedestrians
Polestar 2 - Vehicles - 2

natural_image Silhouettes of two human figures in walking and walking poses (no text or symbols)

Examples of what the function regards as pedestrians with clear body outlines.

Good performance requires that the camera and radar units that detect a pedestrian must receive the clearest possible information about the body outline, requiring the ability to identify the head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body plus a normal human pattern of movement.

In order that it shall be possible to detect a pedestrian there must be a contrast with the background and this will be affected by such things as clothes, the background and the weather. With poor contrast the pedestrian may either be detected late or not at all, which may mean that warnings and braking are late or omitted.

The function can also detect pedestrians in the dark if they are illuminated by the car's head-lamps.

• Assistance at risk of collision (p. 292)
- Limitations for assistance at risk of collision (p. 297)

WARNING

  • The warning and application of the brake may be delayed, or not happen at all. The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance adapted to the speed.
  • The function is a supplementary driver support, but it cannot detect all cyclists in all situations and, for example, cannot see:

• partially obscured cyclists.
• cyclists who do not stand out against the background.
• cyclists wearing clothing that obscures the body outline.
• bicycles loaded with large objects.

Option to reduce speed with assistance at risk of collision

WARNING

- The function is a supplementary driver support, but it cannot detect all pedestrians in all situations and, for example, cannot see:

  • partially obscured pedestrians, people in clothing that hides their body contour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm (32 tum).
    • pedestrians who do not stand out against the background.
  • pedestrians who are carrying larger objects.

Assistance at risk of collision ^101 can help to prevent a collision or reduce the collision speed.

If the speed difference between the driver's car and the obstacle is greater than the following specified speeds, the automatic brake function cannot prevent a collision but it can mitigate the consequences of a collision.

Vehicles

For a vehicle in front, brake assistance can reduce the speed by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).

cyclists

For a cyclist, brake assistance can reduce the speed by up to 50 km/h (30 mph).

Pedestrians

For a pedestrian, brake assistance can reduce the speed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

• Assistance at risk of collision (p. 292)
- Limitations for assistance at risk of collision (p. 297)
- Seatbelt tensioner (p. 35)

Limitations for assistance at risk of collision

Assistance at risk of collision ^102 has certain limitations that a driver needs to know about.

Limitations of brake assistance

Extra equipment

Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant for projecting load, or accessories such as auxiliary lamps and bull bars that are higher than the car's bonnet, limit the function as they may obstruct the camera or radar unit.

Skidding

On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity of the function to avoid a collision. In such situations, the anti-lock brakes and the stability control ESC ^103 are designed to give the best possible braking force with maintained stability.

Low speed

The function is not activated at very low speeds - below 4 km/h (3 mph) - and the system therefore does not intervene in situations where your car is approaching a vehicle ahead very slowly, e.g. when parking.

Active driver

The driver's commands are always prioritised. In situations where the driver is steering and accelerating in a decisive manner, the function does not intervene, even if a collision is unavoidable. Active and aware driving behaviour can therefore delay a collision warning and intervention in order to minimise unnecessary warnings.

Limitations of steering assistance

In certain situations the function may have limited functionality and fail to intervene in the following cases, for example:

• for small vehicles, such as motorcycles
- if the majority of the car has steered into the adjacent lane
- on roads/in lanes with unclear or non-existent lane markings
• outside the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph)
- as the steering servo for speed-dependent steering wheel resistance is working at reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to overheating.

Other demanding situations can include:

  • road works
    • winter road conditions
  • narrow roads
  • poor road surface
    • a very "sporty" driving style
    • poor weather with reduced visibility.

In these demanding situations the function may have difficulty in helping the driver in the right way.

Important warnings

• Assistance at risk of collision (p. 292)
• Limitations for camera unit (p. 341)
- Limitations for radar device (p. 329)
- Polestar Support (p. 9)

WARNING

  • Driver support systems only warn of obstacles which their camera and radar units have detected – hence a warning may not be given, or it may be given with a certain delay.
  • Never wait for a warning or intervention. Apply the brakes when the situation requires.
    • Automatic braking can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed, but to ensure full brake performance the driver should always depress the brake pedal – even when the car brakes automatically.
  • The warning and steering assistance are only activated if there is a high risk of collision – you must therefore never wait for a collision warning or for the function to intervene.
  • The function does not activate any automatic brake interventions in the event of heavy acceleration.

WARNING

  • Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if a traffic situation or external influences mean that the camera unit and radar unit cannot detect pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles correctly.
  • For vehicles to be detected at night, their headlamps and rear lamp cluster must be switched on and shining clearly.
  • Warnings for stationary and slow-moving vehicles could be disengaged due to darkness or poor visibility.
  • Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
  • The system can provide effective warnings and brake interventions as long as the relative speed is below 50 km/h (30 mph).
  • For stationary or slow-moving vehicles, warnings and brake interventions are effective at vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h (43 mph).

IMPORTANT

Driver support components must only be maintained at a workshop – contact Polestar Support.

Selecting sensitivity for assistance at risk of collision

NOTE

This function uses the car's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Assistance at risk of collision ^104 is always activated but the driver can select the sensitivity for the system, which regulates the distance for activating warnings and interventions.

To change setting:

  1. Tap on-in the centre display.
  2. Press Assist.
  3. Tap on for assistance at risk of collision and select the desired setting.

When warnings are perceived as being too frequent then sensitivity can be reduced, which reduces the number of warnings, but also means that the function warns at a later stage.

The setting with latest warning should therefore only be used in exceptional cases, such as in dynamic driving.

• Assistance at risk of collision (p. 292)
- Limitations for assistance at risk of collision (p. 297)
• Rear Collision Warning* (p. 305)

Assistance at risk of collision in crossing traffic

WARNING

  • No automatic system can guarantee 100 % correct function in all situations. Therefore, never test the function by driving at people or vehicles - this may cause severe damage and injury and risk lives.
  • The function warns the driver when there is a risk of a collision, but it cannot shorten the driver's reaction time.
  • Even if the setting for early warning has been selected, warnings could be perceived as being late in certain situations, e.g. when there are large differences in speed or if vehicles ahead suddenly brake heavily.
  • When the setting for early warning is selected, the warnings are given with more advance notice. This may mean that the warnings are given more frequently than with another setting, but it is recommended since it can make the function more effective.

Assistance at risk of collision ^105 can help the driver when turning and crossing the path of another oncoming vehicle at an intersection.

Polestar 2 - WARNING - 1

text_image Diagram showing a traffic collision with two cars, one emitting a red triangular object labeled '1', and directional arrows indicating collision or movement.

① Sector in which the function can detect oncoming crossing vehicles.

For the function to detect an oncoming vehicle on a collision course, the oncoming vehicle must first enter the sector in which the function can analyse the situation.

The following is also required:

  • your car must be travelling at no less than 4 km/h (3 mph).
  • your car must turn to the left in markets with right-hand traffic (or to the right in left-hand traffic).
  • The oncoming vehicle must have its head-lamps switched on.

The function may have difficulty in assisting the driver if, for example:

  • there are slippery conditions and stability control ESC intervenes.
  • the oncoming vehicle is detected too late.
  • the oncoming vehicle is obscured by something.

Assistance at risk of collision in oncoming traffic

• the oncoming vehicle has headlamps switched off.
- the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpredictable manner, e.g. abruptly changes lanes at a late stage.

① Oncoming vehicles
② Your car

The function is active within the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible lane markings/lines.

If the car is about to leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle is approaching at the same time, the function can help the driver to steer the car back into its own lane.

However, the function does not intervene with steering assistance if the direction indicator is used. If the function detects that the driver is actively driving the car, activation of the function will be delayed.

Intervention with steering assistance and braking

Brake intervention helps in situations where steering assistance alone is not sufficient. The brake force is adapted automatically depending on the situation at the time of road run-off.

Symbols and messages for assistance upon risk of collision

The function is active within the speed range 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible lane markings/lines.

The car's camera unit scans the edges of the road and the painted side markings. If the car is about to leave the side of the road, the car is steered back onto the road and if the steering intervention is not enough to avoid run-off, the brakes are also activated.

However, the function does not intervene with either steering assistance or brake intervention if the direction indicators are used. If the function detects that the driver is actively driving the car, activation of the function will be delayed.

A number of symbols and messages regarding assistance at risk of collision ^40 control can be shown in the driver display. Here are some examples.

Rear Collision Warning

The Rear Collision Warning ^1 (RCW) function can help the driver to avoid being hit by a vehicle approaching from behind.

Drivers in vehicles behind can be warned about an imminent collision by the function flashing intensively with the direction indicators.

If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the function detects that the car is in danger of being hit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may tension the front seatbelts.

The Whiplash Protection System is also activated in the event of a collision.

Immediately before a collision from behind, this function may also activate the foot brake in order to reduce the forward acceleration of the car during the collision. However, the foot brake is only activated if the car is stationary. The foot brake releases immediately if the accelerator pedal is depressed.

This function is activated automatically each time the engine is started.

  • Driving support systems (p. 242)
  • Limitations of Rear Collision Warning* (p. 306)

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement.

Limitations of Rear Collision Warning ^12

BLIS

In certain cases the Rear Collision Warning (RCW) may have difficulty helping the driver in the event of a collision risk.

This can, for example, be if:

• the vehicle approaching from behind is detected too late
• the vehicle approaching from behind changes lane at the last moment.
- a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected to the car's electrical system – the function is then deactivated automatically.

• Rear Collision Warning* (p. 305)

NOTE

  • In certain markets, RCW does not give a warning with the direction indicators due to local traffic regulations - in such cases, this part of the function is deactivated.
  • This function uses the car's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.

The BLIS ^13 function is intended to help the driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and to the side of the car so as to provide assistance in heavy traffic on roads with several lanes in the same direction.

Polestar 2 - NOTE - 1

natural_image Interior view of a modern car dashboard and steering wheel (no visible text or symbols)

Location of BLIS lamp

BLIS is a driver aid intended to give a warning of:

• vehicles in the car's blind spot
- quickly approaching vehicles in the left and right lanes closest to the car.

Polestar 2 - NOTE - 2

text_image Diagram showing a car on curved road with numbered annotations indicating lane numbers 1 and 2.

Principle of BLIS

① Zone in blind spot
② Zone for quickly approaching vehicle

The BLIS function is active at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph).

The system is designed to react when:

  • your car is overtaken by other vehicles
  • another vehicle is quickly approaching your car.

When BLIS detects a vehicle in Zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in Zone 2, the indicator lamp on the right or left-hand door mirror illuminates with a constant glow. If the driver activates the direction indicator on the same side as the warning, the indicator lamp will change over from a constant glow to flashing with a more intense light.

If passing vehicles drive more than 15 km/h (9 mph) faster than the driver's vehicle, BLIS will not react.

Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is intended to help make the driver aware that he or she is starting to drive less consistently, e.g. if the driver becomes distracted or starts to fall asleep.

The objective of the function to detect slowly deteriorating driving ability and it is primarily intended for major roads. The function is not intended for city traffic.

The function is activated when speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long as the speed is over 60 km/h (37 mph).

WARNING

- Driver Alert Control should not be used to extend a period of driving. The driver should instead plan for breaks at regular intervals and make sure they are well rested.

Activating and deactivating Driver Alert Control

WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

• An alarm from Driver Alert Control should be taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her own condition.

If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:

- Stop the car safely as soon as possible and rest.

Studies have shown that it is just as dangerous to drive while tired as it is to drive under the influence of alcohol or other stimulants.

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function can be activated or deactivated.

Limitations of Driver Alert Control

Warning and auto- brake while reversing

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function may have limitations in certain situations.

In some cases the system may issue a warning despite driving ability not deteriorating, for example:

  • in strong side winds
    • on rutted road surfaces.
  • Driver Alert Control (p. 310)
  • Limitations for camera unit (p. 341)
  • Limitations for radar device (p. 329)

WARNING

In some cases, driving behaviour is not affected despite driver fatigue – e.g. when using the Pilot Assist function – resulting in the driver not getting a warning from DAC.

It is therefore important to always stop and take a break at the slightest feeling of fatigue, regardless of whether the function has given a warning.

NOTE

This function uses the car's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.

There are systems in the car that can assist the driver to detect obstacles when reversing and even brake automatically if the driver does not manage to act in time.

The Rear Auto Brake (RAB) and Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) functions are only active if the car rolls backwards or if reverse gear has been selected.

If obstacles are detected:

  1. A warning signal and the parking assistance graphic illuminate to indicate the position of the obstacle.
  2. If the driver does not pay attention to the warning and a collision is unavoidable, the car is auto-braked and an explanatory text message is shown for why the car was braked.

If the accelerator pedal is depressed forcefully, the car also reverses after braking automatically.

Obstacles immediately behind

Rear Auto Brake is intended to help the driver detect stationary obstacles that may be directly behind the car when it is being reversed.

This function is primarily designed to detect stationary obstacles that are higher than the rear bumper – and not moving vehicles, for example.

Brake intervention with Rear Auto Brake is active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).

Rear Auto Brake needs to be deactivated before a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected to the car.

Obstacles from the side

Cross Traffic Alert is designed to help the driver detect traffic crossing behind the car when it is reversing.

This function is primarily designed to detect large moving vehicles. In favourable conditions, it may also be able to detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and pedestrians.

Brake intervention with Cross Traffic Alert is active at speeds below 15 km/h (9 mph).

Cross Traffic Alert is deactivated automatically if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected to the car's electrical system.

Examples of detection and limitations

Park Assist

The Park Assist Pilot function (PA\$7) uses sensors to assist the driver when manoeuvring in tight spaces by indicating the distance to obstacles through acoustic signals combined with a graphic in the centre display.

Polestar 2 - Park Assist - 1

natural_image Top-down view of a white car with a curved roof and shadow, against a dark background (no text or symbols visible)

Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.

The centre display shows an overview of the relationship between the car and detected obstacles.

The highlighted sector indicates the location of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to a highlighted sector box at the front/back, the shorter the distance between the car and detected obstacle.

The side sectors change colour as the distance between the car and an object is reduced.

The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the audio system is muted automatically.

The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to the sides is active when the car is moving but stops after the car has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for obstacles behind is also active when the car is stationary.

At a distance within approx. 30 cm (1 foot) from an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the tone is constant and the active sensor field closest to the car symbol is filled.

At a distance within approx. 25 cm (0.8 foot) from an obstacle to the sides, the tone pulses intensively and the active sector field changes colour from ORANGE to RED.

The volume of the parking assistance signal can be adjusted while the signal is sounding by means of the [>II] knob on the centre console. Adjustment can also be performed in the Parking Assistance System settings.

IMPORTANT

When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors - the auxiliary lamps may then be perceived as an obstacle.

NOTE

  • The parking assistance system is deactivated when the parking brake is used.
  • When reversing with a trailer or a bicycle rack, for example, on the towbar – without original Polestar trailer cabling – you may need to switch off the Parking Assistance System manually so that the sensors do not react to these.

• The parking sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected.
- Pay particular attention if there are people and animals near the car.
- Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic during the parking manoeuvre.

- Pay particular

Polestar 2 - WARNING - 1

attention when reversing as this symbol is displayed when a trailer, bicycle

rack or similar is attached and connected to the car's electrical system.

Extinguished symbol indicates that the park assist sensors to the rear are off, and so you will not be alerted to any obstacles.

IMPORTANT

- Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and are then temporarily not detected by the sensors – the pulsating tone may then unexpectedly stop instead of changing over to the expected constant tone.

The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks.

- In such situations, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly slowly or stop the current parking manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of damage to vehicles or other objects since information from the sensors is not always reliable in such situations.

- In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning signals that are caused by external sound sources with the same ultrasonic frequencies that the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.

The radar unit has certain limitations - which in turn also limits those functions that use the unit. A driver should be aware about the following examples of limitations.

Blocked unit

The area in front of the radar unit must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free from decals, objects, dirt, etc. – these could disrupt the radar-based functions. This may result functions being reduced, being switched off completely or giving incorrect function responses.

Wet snow or ice on the grille in front of the radar unit may disrupt radar-based functions. This may result functions being reduced, being switched off completely or giving incorrect function responses. The driver is always responsible for intervening in such a situation and maintaining a safe distance and speed.

Vehicle speed

The radar unit's ability to detect a vehicle ahead is greatly reduced if the speed of the vehicle ahead is very different to the speed of your own car.

Limited field of vision

The radar unit has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is not detected, or the detection is made later than expected.

Polestar 2 - Limited field of vision - 1

text_image Diagram illustrating vehicle collision scenarios with labeled lanes and red light sources, showing collision avoidance zones.

The radar unit's field of vision

① Sometimes the radar unit is late at detecting vehicles at close distances - e.g. a vehicle that drives in between your car and the vehicle ahead.
② Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected.
③ In bends, the radar unit may detect a different vehicle than intended or lose a detected vehicle from view.

Do not fit anything in front of the radar unit such as auxiliary lamps, decals, etc., since these may disrupt radar-based functions. This may result functions being reduced, being switched off completely or giving incorrect function responses.

Camera unit

Limitations for camera unit

The camera unit is used by several driver support systems and has the task of for example detecting lane lines or traffic signs.

Polestar 2 - Limitations for camera unit - 1

natural_image Front view of a white car with a red circular highlight on the windshield (no visible text or symbols)

Location of the camera unit

The camera unit is used by the following functions:

  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Pilot Assist
  • Lane assistance
    • Assistance at risk of collision
  • Driver Alert Control
    • Road Sign Information
  • Active main beam
  • Park Assist
  • Driving support systems (p. 242)
  • Limitations for camera unit (p. 341)
  • Limitations for radar device (p. 329)
  • Recommended maintenance for camera unit (p. 343)
  • Symbols and messages for camera unit (p. 344)

The camera unit has certain limitations - which in turn also limits those functions that use the unit. A driver should be aware about the following examples of limitations.

Blocked unit

The area in front of the camera unit must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free from decals, objects, dirt, etc. – these could disrupt the camera-based functions. This may result functions being reduced, being switched off completely or giving incorrect function responses.

High temperature

At very high temperatures the camera unit can be temporarily switched off for about 15 minutes after the engine is started so as to protect the unit's electronics. The camera unit restarts automatically when the temperature has fallen sufficiently.

Damaged windscreen

The following is also applicable so as not to risk incorrect function of the driver supports that use the camera unit:

  • If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears on the windscreen in front of any of the "windows" for the camera unit and covers an area of approx. 0.5 × 3.0 ~mm ( 0.02 × 0.12 inches.) or more, Polestar Support must be contacted so that the windscreen can be replaced.
  • Polestar recommends not repairing cracks, scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the camera unit – the entire windscreen should be replaced instead.
  • Before replacing a windscreen, contact Polestar Support to verify that the correct windscreen has been ordered and will be fitted.

  • The same type of windscreen wipers or windscreen wipers approved by Polestar must be fitted when the windscreen is replaced.

  • When replacing the windscreen, the camera unit must be recalibrated by a workshop in order to ensure the functionality of all of the car's camera-based systems. Contact Pole-star Support.

Impaired vision

The cameras have limitations similar to the human eye, that is, it may "see" worse in intense snowfall or rain, dense fog, heavy dust storms or snow flurries, for example. Under such conditions, the functions of camera-dependent systems could be significantly reduced or temporarily disengaged.

Strong oncoming light, reflections in the carriageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings can also significantly reduce camera function when it is used to scan the carriageway to detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and other vehicles

A bicycle rack or other accessories fitted on the rear of the car may obscure the camera's view.

Blind sectors

Polestar 2 - Blind sectors - 1

natural_image Top-down view of a white car parked on a paved road with geometric background lines (no text or symbols visible)

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision.

In the parking camera's 360° view, obstacles/objects may "vanish" in the gaps between the individual cameras.

Light conditions

The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions. Because of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness and quality. Poor light conditions can result in reduced image quality.

  • Recommended maintenance for camera unit (p. 343)
  • Limitations for radar device (p. 329)
    • Park assist camera (p. 321)
  • Polestar Support (p. 9)

WARNING

Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it only looks like a relatively small part of the image is obscured, a relatively large sector could be hidden from view. An obstacle could therefore go undetected until the car is very close to it.

NOTE

If not rectified it can lead to reduced performance for the driver support systems that use the camera unit. This may result functions being reduced, being switched off completely or giving incorrect function responses.

In order that the camera unit shall function correctly, it must be kept clear of dirt, ice and snow, and be cleaned regularly with water and car shampoo.

Section 11

Electric operation and charging

General information on electric operation

Electric cars runs like a regular car, but certain functions differ from a car that has an internal combustion engine.

The driver display and centre display show some information that is unique to electric operation – charging information, distance to empty battery, and the high voltage battery's charge level.

For the car to function, the high voltage battery and associated electric drive systems must be at the correct operating temperature. Battery capacity may be reduced considerably if the batteries are too cold or too hot. By means of preconditioning, using the charging cable connected to the mains power circuit, the car's drive system and passenger compartment are prepared prior to departure, so that both wear and energy requirements while driving are reduced.

The high voltage battery that drives the electric motors is charged via a charging cable but can also be charged by means of smooth braking.

Important to know

Car without power

Bear in mind that important functions such as the servo brakes and power steering are limited when the car is without power.

• Economical driving (p. 394)

WARNING

  • The brake servo only works when the car is running.
  • Remember that the car does not emit any engine noise when it is only powered by the electric motors and may therefore be difficult to notice by children, pedestrians, cyclists and animals. This is especially true at low speeds, such as in car parks.
  • Several components in the car work with high-voltage current that could be dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention. These components, and all orange-coloured cables, must only be handled by qualified personnel.

Charging the high voltage battery

The car is equipped with a rechargeable high voltage battery of lithium-ion type.

The high voltage battery is charged using a charging cable.

The battery can also be charged via charging stations with an integrated control device. The charging stations can be equipped with either a permanent charging cable or a socket where a special charging cable with a matching connector, known as a mode 3 charging cable, can be connected.

Fast charging

Besides charging via a 230 V socket (alternating current), the car supports fast charging with direct current via charging stations that support the CCS (Combined Charging System) standard. A higher charging power can normally be achieved by charging with direct current, and the charging time can therefore be reduced. The maximum charging power is normally achieved when the charge level of the high voltage battery is 0-80%. When the charge level increases, the power will be reduced in order to reduce wear.

The time it takes for the high voltage battery to be charged is dependent on the charging power that is used.

Charging cable handle and charging input socket.

Charging status is indicated in the following ways:

  • Indicator on the charging cable's control unit.
  • Indicator lamp in the car's charging input socket.
    • Illustration and text in the driver display.

The 12 V battery is charged when the high voltage battery is charging and is interrupted when the high voltage battery is fully charged. It is not possible to drive the car while it is charging.

High voltage battery performance may be reduced if the temperature in the batteries is too low or too high.

WARNING

  • The electrical system in the car uses high voltage electric current. Any damage to this system or to the high voltage battery may result in a risk of overheating, fire or serious personal injuries. If the car is flooded, catches fire, is involved in a collision, etc., contact Polestar Support. Prior to this inspection, the car should be parked outdoors at a safe distance away from buildings or readily flammable materials.
  • The high voltage battery must only be replaced by an authorised workshop – contact Polestar Support for more information.

IMPORTANT

The performance of the high voltage battery may be reduced if the car is left for any length of time in environments where the temperature is below -10 ^ ( 14 ^ ) or above 40 ^ ( 104 ^ ). Avoid the battery becoming too hot or too cold by connecting the car to a charger.

NOTE

- Polestar recommends a charging cable in accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC 61851 which supports temperature monitoring.

Charging power

NOTE

- The capacity of the high voltage battery is reduced slightly with age and use.

Charging power is used for charging the high voltage battery as well as preconditioning of the car. Charging takes place with a charging cable connected to the car's charging input socket and a 230 V socket ^132 (alternating current) or via a charging station.

When the charging cable is activated, the driver display shows a message and a lamp in the car's charging input socket illuminates. The car's centre display is activated at the same time and shows the settings for charging. The charging power is mainly used for battery charging, but is also used for preconditioning the car. When the car's batteries are charging, the 12 V battery is also charged.

  • Stop high voltage battery charging (p. 367)

IMPORTANT

Never unplug the charging cable from the 230 V socket (alternating current) while charging is in progress - there is then a risk of damaging the 230 V socket. Always stop charging first before unplugging the charging cable from the car's charging input socket and then from the 230 V socket.

NOTE

  • If the weather is very hot or very cold, some of the charging current is used to heat/cool the high voltage battery and the passenger compartment, which results in a longer charging time.
  • The charging time is extended if preconditioning has been selected. The time required depends mainly on the outside temperature.
  • Fast charging with up to 150kW power output is possible under good conditions for high-voltage battery and charging station. The charging power is limited towards the end of fast charging.

The charging cable is used to charge the car's high voltage battery.

WARNING

- Charging the high voltage battery must only take place with grounded and approved 230 V sockets (alternating current). If the capacity for the socket or fuse circuit is unknown, ask a licensed electrician to check the capacity. Charging above the capacity of a fuse circuit may lead to fire or damage the fuse circuit.

• The charging cable's overvoltage protection helps to protect the car's charging system, but cannot guarantee that overload will never occur.

- Never use visibly worn or damaged electrical sockets. This could cause fire or serious injury.

- Never connect the charging cable to a cable extension.

- Contact Polestar Support for information on maintenance or replacement of the high voltage batteries.

- Do not use a charging cable other than the recommended one.

- An external timer must not be used between the charging cable and the electrical socket.

- One or any number of adapters must not be used between the charging cable and the electrical socket.

IMPORTANT

- The ground fault breaker does not protect the 230 V socket (alternating current)/electrical installation.

- Check the capacity of the socket.

- Other electronic equipment connected to the same fuse circuit must be disconnected if the total load is exceeded.

- Do not connect the charging cable if the socket is damaged.

Temperature monitoring of the charging cable

For the car's high voltage battery to be charged safely every time, the control unit for the charging cable and the plug have built-in monitoring devices for the temperature.

Temperature monitoring takes place in the control unit and the plug.

Monitoring in the control unit

Charging is switched off if the temperature of the control unit is too high. This is to protect the electronics. This may take place at a high outside temperature, for example, and/or when strong sunlight shines directly on the control unit.

Monitoring at the plug

If the temperature at the power source to which the charging cable is connected is too high, the charging current is reduced. If the temperature exceeds a critical level, charging is stopped completely.

Related information

  • Charging cable (p. 352)
  • Charging status in the charging cable's control unit (p. 362)

IMPORTANT

If the temperature monitoring has automatically lowered the charging current repeatedly and charging has been interrupted then the cause of the overheating must be investigated and rectified.

NOTE

Polestar recommends a charging cable in accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC 61851 which supports temperature monitoring.

  1. The charging cable's charging handle is fastened/locked in, and charging starts within 5 seconds. When charging has been started, the LED lamp in the charging input socket flashes green. The driver display and the centre display show the remaining estimated charging time or whether charging is not working as intended.

Battery charging can be interrupted for a short time by pressing the button at the charging input socket – charging resumes within a few minutes.

Fast charging (direct current)

The car's high voltage batteries can be fast-charged with direct current via charging stations that support the CCS (Combined Charging System) standard.

  1. Remove the charging cable from the charging station's storage socket.

  2. Open the charging hatch. Remove the protective cover on the charging input socket and then push the charging cable all the way into the car's charging input socket. The charging cable is automatically locked in the charging input socket.

  3. Follow the instructions in the charging station's interface to authorise the charge. Charging begins when the charging station has executed an isolation test. This can take about a minute.

When charging has started, the LED lamp in the charging input socket flashes with a green glow. The driver display and the centre display show the remaining estimated charging time or whether charging is not working as intended.

Fast charging will not normally be stopped if the car is unlocked. Charging can be interrupted using the button at the charging input socket. If fast charging is stopped, it will not be possible to resume it automatically as the charging station requires charging to be re-authorised.

Recommendations for long-term storage

During long-term storage of the car (longer than 1 month), make sure it has a suitable State Of Charge (SOC) and also make a habit of checking the State Of Charge (SOC) on a regular basis.

Before long-term storage

Recommended State Of Charge (SOC) for long-term storage is between 40% - 50%.

  • If the State Of Charge (SOC) is exceeds the recommendation – drive the car to the recommended State Of Charge (SOC).
  • If the State Of Charge (SOC) is lower than the recommendation – charge the car to the recommended State Of Charge (SOC).

During long-term storage

Check the State Of Charge (SOC) continuously and restore to a suitable State Of Charge (SOC) if it is below 20%.

If storage longer than 3 months is planned, it is recommended that the car has constant AC charging connected with maximum State Of Charge (SOC) set at 40% or 50%. Check continuously that the AC charging is working.

Brake functions

Foot brake

The car's brakes are used to reduce the speed or prevent the car from rolling.

Besides the foot brake and parking brake, the car is equipped with several automatic brake assist functions. These can assist the driver by not needing to keep his/her foot on the brake pedal when stationary at a traffic light, or when starting on an uphill gradient.

Depending on the car's equipment, the following auto braking functions are available:

  • Braking when stationary
    • Auto braking after a collision
  • Inching - the car is held stationary depending on the setting selected
    • Assistance at risk of collision

• Braking when stationary (p. 382)
- Foot brake (p. 375)
- Parking brake (p. 379)
- Inching (p. 389)
• Auto braking after a collision (p. 383)

The foot brake is part of the brake system.

The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If a brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal will engage deeper. Higher pressure on the pedal will therefore be needed to produce the normal braking effect.

If the foot brake is used when the car is switched off, greater pedal pressure is required to brake the car.

Anti-lock braking system

The car has anti-lock brakes (AB38), which prevents the wheels from locking while braking and allows maintained steering control.

A short test of the ABS system is made automatically after the car has been started when the driver releases the brake pedal. A further automatic test of the system may be made at low speed.

Light braking charges the battery

Under light braking, the car's kinetic energy is converted into energy which is used to charge the battery. Battery charging is indicated in the driver display.

Polestar 2 - Light braking charges the battery - 1

text_image Charge Power

The driver display indicates charging.

This function is active in the speed interval 150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). During heavier braking, braking is supplemented by the hydraulic brake system.

WARNING

  • The brake servo only works when the car is running.
  • If both the warning lamps for brake fault and ABS fault illuminate at the same time, a fault may have occurred in the brake system.

  • If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal in this case – contact Polestar Support.

  • If the brake fluid is below the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid. The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated.

Brake assistance

Braking on wet roads

The brake assist system (BAS ^9 ) helps to increase brake force during braking, and can thereby shorten the braking distance.

The system detects the way in which the driver brakes and increases brake force where necessary. The brake force can be boosted up to the level when the ABS system is engaged. The function is suspended when the pressure on the brake pedal decreases.

Related information

- Foot brake (p. 375)

When driving for a prolonged period of time in heavy rain without braking, the braking effect may be delayed slightly when next using the brakes.

This may also be the case after a car wash. It is then necessary to depress the brake pedal more forcefully. You should therefore maintain a greater distance to the vehicles in front.

Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads or using a car wash. This warms up the brake discs, enabling them to dry faster and protecting them against corrosion. Bear in mind the current traffic situation when braking.

When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt may Check brake system components regularly for form on the brake discs and brake linings. wear.

This may extend braking distance. You should therefore maintain a greater safety distance to vehicles in front. In addition, make sure you do the following:

  • Brake now and again to remove any layer of salt. Make sure that other road users are not put at risk by the braking.
    • Gently depress the brake pedal after finishing driving and before starting your next trip.
  • Foot brake (p. 375)
    • Braking on wet roads (p. 377)

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possible, Polestar's service intervals as specified in the Status and Warranty booklet should be followed.

After replacing brake linings and brake discs, braking effect is only adapted after they have been "worn in" for a few hundred kilometres (miles). Compensate for the reduced braking effect by depressing the brake pedal harder. Polestar recommends only fitting brake linings that are approved for Polestar cars.

IMPORTANT

The wear on the brake system's components must be checked regularly.

Contact Polestar Support for information on how to proceed.

Parking brake

Activating and deactivating the parking brake

The parking brake prevents the car from rolling away from stationary by blocking both rear wheels.

A faint electric motor noise can be heard when the electrically-operated parking brake is being applied.

If the car is stationary when the parking brake is activated, it only acts on the rear wheels. If it is activated when the car is moving then the normal foot brake is used, that is, the brake acts on all four wheels. Brake function changes over to the rear wheels when the car is almost stationary.

  • Activating and deactivating the parking brake (p. 379)
  • Parking on a hill (p. 381)
    • In the event of a parking brake fault (p. 381)

Use the parking brake to prevent the car from rolling from stationary. An activated parking brake locks both rear wheels.

Braking when stationary

  • Activating and deactivating the parking brake (p. 379)
  • Parking on a hill (p. 381)
  • Polestar service programme (p. 494)

Braking when stationary (Hold) means that the driver can release the brake pedal while maintaining braking force when the car has stopped at a traffic light, for example.

Activate Hold

Depress the brake pedal when stationary to activate Hold. This function is available at all times during driving and works on all inclines.

To activate Hold, make sure that

- the driver has buckled the seatbelt and/or that the driver's door is closed.

• gear position D or R is selected.

Deactivate Hold

The function is released when the driver drives off, having selected a gear and depressed the accelerator pedal.

The parking brake is activated automatically

  • if the driver unbuckles the seatbelt and/or opens the driver's door.
  • if the function has been active for longer than 10 minutes.

Auto braking after a collision

- Activating and deactivating the parking brake (p. 379)

NOTE

Hold is deactivated even when the driver shifts to neutral position.

In the event of a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioners or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is detected, the car's brakes are automatically applied. This function is to prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent collision.

After a serious collision there is a risk that it is no longer possible to control and steer the car. In order to avoid or mitigate a possible further collision with a vehicle or an object in the vehicle's path, the auto braking system is activated automatically and brakes the car in a safe manner.

Brake lights and hazard warning lights are activated during braking. When the car has stopped, the hazard warning lights continue to flash and the parking brake is applied.

If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by following traffic, the system can be overridden by means of the driver depressing the accelerator pedal.

The function assumes that the brake system is intact after the collision.

Damping

Adjusting the damping setting

The shock absorbers control the car's body movements as required while also isolating uneven parts of the road. The aim of this is to provide as much comfort and function as possible while driving.

Manually adjustable shock absorbers

The car is fitted with Öhlins adjustable shock absorbers. There are three recommended positions for front and rear shock absorber settings. Besides the factory setting Nominal, there is a harder setting, Track, and a softer setting, Comfort.

Track

Track mode makes the car's shock absorption harder. The mode is adapted for driving on smooth roads or during active driving.

Nominal

The Nominal mode is suitable for daily driving on public roads. The mode is the car's factory setting which is a balance between Sport and Comfort.

Comfort

The Comfort mode provides softer damping that minimises road disruption while maintaining control.

It is possible to adjust the settings of the shock absorbers for driving under other conditions or on specific road surfaces.

Positioning adjusting knobs

There are four adjusting knobs, two for the front shock absorbers and two for the rear ones. The adjusting knobs are located above each wheel.

For the front wheels, the adjusting knobs are located in the bottom of the shock absorber, close to the wheel. The adjusting knobs for the rear wheels are located above each wheel in the wheel housing.

To access the adjusting knobs, the car has to be raised using a jack; see the separate section.

The car's range is dependent on a number of factors. The ability to achieve a long range varies according to the circumstances and conditions under which the car is being driven.

The certified value for the car's mileage on electric power should not be interpreted as an expected range. The certification value should primarily be used to compare values for different cars obtained during specific test cycles.

Range in the driver display
Polestar 2 - NOTE - 1

bar | Category | Value | |---|---| | Charge | 392 | | Power | 78 % | Range: km

When the car comes out of the factory or after a factory reset, the range is based on the certified value

When the car has been driven a while, the range is based on historical driving patterns. The amount of history used depends on the battery's charge level. Therefore, the less charge there is in the battery, the faster the range adapts to a changed driving pattern.

Factors that affect the range

In addition to historical trip data, there are several different factors that affect the range. The longest range is achieved under extremely favourable conditions when all factors have a positive impact.

Examples of factors that influence the range:

• speed
- climate settings
- topography
- preconditioning
• tyres and tyre pressure
- traffic situation
• temperature and weather
- road conditions.

Range based on speed and outside temperature

Polestar 2 - Factors that affect the range - 1

line | Constant speed [km/h] | Driving range (x) | | --------------------- | ----------------- | | 0 | 1.5 | | 50 | 1.0 | | 100 | 0.5 |

③ 35 °C (95 °F) outside temperature and passenger compartment climate control activated.
-10 °C (14 °F) outside temperature and passenger compartment climate control activated.

The graph shows the approximate relationship between constant speed and range, where a lower constant speed has a positive effect on range.

A higher outside temperature and deactivated climate control are also more favourable for the range.

Economical driving

To achieve the longest possible range, the driver should plan driving and adapt the driving method and speed to the prevailing situation.

Before driving

  • Precondition the car before driving if possible using the charging cable connected to the mains power circuit.
  • If preconditioning is not possible when it is cold outside, use seat heating and steering wheel heating first of all. Avoid warming up the whole of the interior which takes energy from the battery.
  • Choice of tyres and tyre pressures can affect energy consumption – seek advice on suitable tyres from Polestar Support.
  • Remove unnecessary items from the car - the greater the load the higher the consumption.

- Do not hold the car stationary on a hill using the accelerator pedal, use the brake function instead when stationary.

- When driving a short distance after preconditioning, switch off the climate control if possible.

After driving

- If possible, park in an air-conditioned garage with a charging option.

  • Checking tyre pressure (p. 456)
    • Journey statistics in the centre display (p. 78)
  • Checking tyre pressure (p. 456)

During driving

  • Drive at a steady speed and keep a good distance to other vehicles and objects in order to avoid braking.
  • The battery is recharged under braking by:
  • braking gently using the brake pedal.
  • releasing the accelerator pedal and making sure that regenerative brake recovery is set to Standard.

  • High speed results in increased energy consumption – because the wind resistance increases with speed.

  • In a cold climate, reduce electrical heating of windows, mirrors, seats and steering wheel, if possible.
  • Avoid driving with open windows.

Preparations for a long Winter driving trip

Before a driving holiday or some other type of long journey, it is important to check the car's functions and equipment particularly carefully.

Check that

  • braking effect on braking works as intended
  • the tyres have sufficient tread depth and pressure. Change to winter tyres when driving to areas where there is a risk of snowy or icy road surfaces
    • The battery's charge is good
    • the wiper blades are in good condition
  • a warning triangle and high-visibility vest are located in the car - legally required in certain countries
  • Checking tyre pressure (p. 456)
  • Filling washer fluid (p. 538)
    • Winter driving (p. 395)
  • Range for electric operation (p. 392)
  • Recommendations for loading (p. 487)
  • Pilot Assist* (p. 268)
  • Speed limiter (p. 259)
    • Emergency puncture repair kit (p. 472)

For winter driving it is important to perform certain checks of the car in order to ensure that it can be driven safely.

Check the following in particular before a cold season:

  • The condition of the battery and charge level must be inspected. Cold weather places greater demands on the battery and its capacity is reduced by the cold.
  • Use washer fluid with antifreeze to avoid ice forming in the washer fluid reservoir.

Slippery driving conditions

Polestar recommends changing the setting for one pedal drive to Off or Low in order to contribute to more stable driving in slippery or icy conditions.

To achieve optimum roadholding Polestar recommends using winter tyres on all wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.

Practise driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

  • Replacing windscreen wiper blades (p. 536)

Driving in water

NOTE

The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are not permitted in all countries.

Wading means the car being driven through water, e.g. on a flooded road. Driving in water must be performed with great caution.

Observe the following to prevent damage to the car when driving through water:

  • The water level must not be higher than the floor of the car. If possible, check the depth at the deepest point before starting to drive through the water. Extra caution should be exercised when passing through flowing water.
  • Do not drive faster than walking pace.
  • Do not stop the car in the water. Drive forward carefully or reverse the car back out of the water.
  • Remember that waves created by oncoming traffic may rise above the level for the floor of the car.
  • Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion risk).

When the water has been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly and check that full brake function is achieved. Water and mud for example can make the brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake function.

    Wait at least 2 seconds before the towbar is moved to locked position. If the towbar does not remain in locked position, wait for a couple more seconds and try again.
    Do not kick the towbar.
  • The towbar must always be retracted when not in use.

NOTE

Power save mode is activated after a while and the indicator lamp is extinguished. The system is reactivated by closing the tailgate and then reopening it. This is applicable when both extending and retracting the towbar.

If the car has detected a connected trailer electrically, the indicator lamp stops shining steadily.

Driving with a trailer

When driving with a trailer, there are a number of things that are important to remember as regards the towbar, the trailer and how the load is placed in the trailer.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers and all accessories, e.g. the towbar, reduces the car's load capacity by a corresponding weight.

The car is supplied with the equipment necessary for driving with a trailer.

  • The towbar on the car must be of an approved type.
  • Place the load in the trailer so that the pressure on the car's towbar is compliant with the specified maximum towball load. The towball load is calculated as part of the car's payload.
  • Increase the tyre pressure to the recommended pressure for full load.
  • The electric motor is under greater load than normal when driving with a trailer.
  • Do not drive with a heavy trailer when the car is completely new. Wait until it has driven at least 1000 km (620 miles).
  • Follow the applicable regulations for permitted speeds and weights.
  • Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up a long, steep slope.
  • Avoid driving with a trailer in the case of inclines steeper than 12% .

WARNING

Follow the specified trailer weight recommendations. The entire combination may otherwise be difficult to control under braking and during evasive manoeuvres.

Trailer Stability Assist

NOTE

The specified maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Polestar. National vehicle regulations may further restrict trailer weight and speed. The towbars can be certified for higher towing weights than the car is allowed to tow.

The function for Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) is included in the ESC ^42 stability system, and its purpose is to stabilise a car with a trailer connected in situations where the vehicle combination has begun to fishtail. The function is added during the installation of the towbar, contact Polestar Support for more information.

Causes of fishtailing

The phenomenon where a car with a trailer starts to fishtail may occur for all car-trailer combinations. High speeds are normally required for this to occur. But if the trailer is overloaded or the load is distributed incorrectly, e.g. too far back, there is a risk of fishtailing even at lower speeds.

Factors causing fishtailing may, for example, include the following:

  • A sudden strong gust of wind from the side affects the car with the trailer.
    • The car with the trailer drives along an uneven surface or into a pothole.
  • Violent steering wheel movements.

Once the car has begun to fishtail, it may be difficult or impossible to stop it doing so. This makes the vehicle combination difficult to control, with a risk of it ending up in the wrong lane or leaving the roadway.

Trailer Stability Assist function

Trailer Stability Assist constantly monitors the car's movements, particularly sideways. If fish-tailing is detected, individual brake control takes place at the front wheels, which helps to stabilise the combination. This is usually enough to allow the driver to regain control of the car.

If the car is not brought back under control despite the initial input from trailer stability

Checking trailer lights

assist, all wheels are used in tandem to brake the vehicle combination and the electric motor's

drive is reduced. When fishtailing has gradually

been eliminated and the combination is stable

again, the system stops exerting control and the Direction indicators and brake lights on trailer

driver regains full control over the car.

Trailer Stability Assist may not intervene if the driver attempts to stop the car fishtailing by means of violent steering wheel movements, as the system is then unable to determine whether

the trailer or the driver is causing the fishtailing.

Related information

- Driving with a trailer (p. 401)

Follow the specified recommendations for using a towbar-mounted bicycle rack.

Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the bicycle rack.

- The weight of the bicycle rack plus cargo must not exceed 75 kg (165 pounds).

- The bicycle rack may be used for max. three bicycles.

The car's driving characteristics are affected when a bicycle rack is mounted on the towbar, e.g. because of:

- increased weight

- reduced acceleration

• reduced ground clearance

- altered braking.

Recommendations when loading bicycles onto the bicycle rack

The greater the distance between the centre of gravity of the cargo and the towball, the greater the load on the towbar.

Load according to the following recommendations:

- Load the heaviest bicycle nearest to the car.

- Keep the load symmetrical and as close as possible to the centre of the car, e.g. by overlapping the bicycles if loading several bicycles.

- Remove loose parts from the bicycle, such as a basket, battery or child seat, when transporting it. The aim of this is to reduce the load on the towbar and bicycle rack, and to reduce air resistance, which affects the range.

- Do not use a protective cover on the bicycles. This may affect manoeuvring, impede visibil-

- Towbar* (p. 397)

WARNING

Incorrect use of the bicycle rack may result in damage to the towbar and car.

The bicycle rack may come loose from the towbar if it

• is mounted incorrectly on the towball.
• is overloaded, see the bicycle rack instructions for max. load weight
• is used for any purpose other than transporting bicycles.

Section 16

Wheels and tyres

Tyres

The function of the tyres is to carry load, provide grip on the road surface, dampen vibration and protect the wheel from wear.

The tyres greatly affect the car's driving characteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressure and speed rating are important for how the car performs.

The car is fitted with tyres according to the tyre information sticker found on the driver's side door pillar (between the front door and the rear door).

On delivery, the car is equipped with Polestar original tyres that have the VOE ^1 marking on the side of the tyres. These tyres are carefully adapted to the car. In the event of changing tyres, it is therefore important that the new tyres also have this marking in order for the car's driving characteristics, comfort and electricity consumption to be maintained.

New tyres
Polestar 2 - Recommended tyres - 1

natural_image Top-down view of a car tire with a circular head and four spokes, no visible text or symbols.

Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the friction capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as pos-

sible when you replace them. This is especially important with regard to winter tyres. The last four digits in the sequence mean the week and year of manufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking (Department of Transportation), and this is stated with four digits, for example 0717. The tyre is then manufactured in week 07, year 2017.

Tyre age

All tyres older than 6 years old should be checked by an expert even if they seem undamaged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they are hardly ever or never used. The function can therefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that are stored for future use. Examples of external signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discolouration.

Tyre economy

  • Maintain the correct tyre pressure.
  • Avoid fast starts, heavy braking and squealing tyres.
    • Tyre wear increases with speed.
  • Having the correct wheel setting (four-wheel setting) is very important.
  • Unbalanced wheels worsen tyre economy and travelling comfort.
    • The tyres must have the same direction of rotation during their entire service life.
  • The tyres on the rear wheels should have as much or more tread than the tyres on the front wheels so as to reduce the risk of over-steer under heavy braking.
  • If you drive over kerbstones or deep holes you can damage the tyres and/or wheel rims permanently.

Tyre rotation and tread depth

Switching originally fitted tyres between the front and rear axles is not possible.

Driving style, tyre pressure, climate and road condition affect how quickly the tyres age and wear. Correct tyre pressure results in more even wear.

Contact Polestar Support for a check if you are not sure about the tread depth.

Storing wheels and tyres

When you store complete wheels (tyres fitted on wheel rims) they should be hung up or positioned lying on their sides on the floor.

Tyres not fitted on rims must be stored lying on their sides or standing upright, but not hung up.

WARNING

- A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control over the car.

WARNING

  • Wheel rim size and tyre size for your Polestar are specified to meet stringent requirements for stability and driving characteristics. Unapproved combinations of wheel rim size and tyre size may have a negative effect on the car's stability and driving characteristics.
  • Any damage caused by the fitting of unapproved combinations of wheel rim size and tyre size is not covered by the new car warranty. Polestar accepts no liability for death, personal injury or any costs caused by such installations.

IMPORTANT

Tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place, and should never be stored close to solvents, petrol, oils, etc.

Dimension designation for tyre

Designations for tyre dimension, load index and speed rating.

The car has an approval for the complete vehicle with certain combinations of wheel rims and tyres.

Designation of dimensions

All tyres have a designation of dimensions, for example: 245/45 R19 98 W

245Tyre width (mm)
45Ratio between tyre wall height and tyre width (%)
RRadial ply
19Rim diameter in inches
98Codes for the maximum permitted tyre load, tyre load index (LI)
WSpeed rating for maximum permitted speed, speed rating (SS). (In this case 270 km/h (168 mph).)

Load index

Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a load index (LI).

Speed rating

Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum speed. Tyre speed rating, SS (Speed Symbol), must at least correspond with the car's top speed. The table below shows the maximum permitted speed for each speed rating (SS). The only exception to these regulations is winter tyres ^162 , where a lower speed rating may be used. If such a tyre is selected, the car must not be driven more quickly than the tyre is rated for. For example, cars with Q rating tyres must be driven at speeds not exceeding 160 km/h (100

mph). The road conditions and applicable road traffic rules determine how quickly the car can be driven, not the speed rating of the tyres.

Q160 km/h (100 mph) (used only on winter tyres)
T190 km/h (118 mph)
H210 km/h (130 mph)
V240 km/h (149 mph)
W270 km/h (168 mph)
Y300 km/h (186 mph)

• Tyres (p. 452)
• Dimension designation for wheel rim (p. 455)
• Approved wheel and tyre sizes (p. 551)

NOTE

Make sure that both pairs of wheels have the same type, dimension and make. Note that the front and rear pairs of wheels have different dimensions.

Tread wear indicators on the tyres

Checking tyre pressure

Tread wear indicators show the status of the tyre's tread depth.

Polestar 2 - Checking tyre pressure - 1

natural_image Abstract 3D rendering of white geometric blocks arranged in curved, layered patterns (no text or symbols)

A tread wear indicator is a narrow elevation across the longitudinal grooves of the tyre's tread pattern. On the side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's tread depth is down to 1.6 mm (1/16 inch), the tread will be level in height with the tread wear indicators. Change to new tyres as soon as possible. Remember that tyres with little tread depth provide very poor grip in rain and snow. Related information

• Tyres (p. 452)

Correct tyre pressure helps to improve driving stability, save energy consumption and extend the service life of the tyres.

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also varies depending on ambient temperature. Driving on tyres with tyre pressure that is too low could result in the tyres overheating and being damaged. Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road noise and driving characteristics.

Check the tyre pressures monthly. Use the recommended tyre pressure for cold tyres in order to maintain good tyre performance. Tyre pressure that is too low or too high may cause uneven wear on the tyres.

Cold tyres

The tyre pressure must be checked when the tyres are cold. Tyres are considered cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding air. This temperature is normally reached when the car has been parked for at least three hours.

After having driven approximately 1.6 km (1 mile) these tyres are considered as warm. If you have to drive further than this to inflate the tyres, first check and record the tyre pressure and inflate to a suitable tyre pressure when you arrive at the pump.

When the outside temperature changes, the tyre pressure also changes. A decrease in temperature of 10 degrees causes the tyre pressure to decrease 1 psi (7 kPa). Check the tyre pressure regularly and adjust to the correct pressure, which is specified on the car's tyre information decal or certification label.

If you check the tyre pressure when the tyres are warm then you must never release any air. The tyres are warm due to driving and it is nor-

Adjusting tyre pressure

mal for the pressure to increase above the recommended pressure for cold tyres. A warm tyre with tyre pressure equal to or below the recommendation for cold tyres may have a pressure that is far too low.

    • Recommended tyre pressure (p. 458)
    • System for tyre pressure monitoring (p. 459)
    • Tyres (p. 452)

WARNING

  • Tyre pressure that is too low is the most common cause of tyre failure and may result in serious cracks in the tyre, the tread loosening or the tyre exploding, with unexpected loss of control of the car and increased risk of personal injury.
  • Tyres with pressure that is too low reduce the load capacity of the car.

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. The tyre pressure must therefore sometimes be adjusted in order to maintain the recommended tyre pressure.

Use the recommended tyre pressure for cold tyres in order to maintain good tyre performance and even tread wear.

  1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tyre and then press the tyre pressure gauge firmly down onto the valve.
  2. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure, see the decal on the door pillar on the driver's side showing the recommended pressure for factory fitted tyres.

  3. Refit the dust cap.

  4. Check the tyres visually for any implanted nails or other objects that could puncture the tyre and cause leakage.

  5. Check the sidewalls for any cavities, cuts, bumps or other irregularities.

  6. Repeat this for all tyres.

• Recommended tyre pressure (p. 458)
- Checking tyre pressure (p. 456)
- Inflating tyres with compressor from the puncture repair kit (p. 477)
• Approved tyre pressures (p. 552)

NOTE

  • To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pressure should be checked on cold tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same temperature as the ambient temperature (approx. 3 hours after the car has been driven). After a few kilometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the pressure increases.
    • After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
  • Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust caps can rust and become difficult to unscrew.
  • If you have over-inflated, release air by pressing in the metal pin in the centre of the valve. Then check the pressure again using the tyre pressure gauge.

Some spare tyres require a higher tyre pressure than other tyres. Check in the tyre pressure table or on the tyre pressure label.

The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar shows which pressures the tyres should have at different loads and speed conditions.

The decal displays the designation for the factory-fitted tyres on the car, as well as load limits and tyre pressure.

Improved economy with ECO pressure

For a light load (max. 3 people) and a speed of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO pressures can be chosen for more economical electricity consumption. However, the lower comfort pressures are recommended instead if improved noise and travelling comfort are desired.

System for tyre pressure monitoring

NOTE

It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the Manual should be exact replicas of those in the car. They are included to show their approximate appearance and locations in the car. The information that applies to your particular car can be found on the decal on the car.

The tyre pressure monitoring system ^163 , gives a warning with an indicator symbol in the driver display when the pressure in one or more of the car's tyres is too low.

Polestar 2 - NOTE - 1

natural_image Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a stylized helmet (no text or numbers)

This symbol illuminates to indicate low tyre pressure. Then check the tyre pressure under Car status in the centre display.

If there is a fault in the system

the tyre pressure warning symbol flashes for approximately one minute and then remains illuminated.

System description

The tyre pressure monitoring system measures differences in rotation speed between the different wheels via the ABS system in order to be able to determine whether they have the correct tyre pressure. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre's diameter is changed and, as a result, so is its rotation speed. By comparing the tyres with each other the system can determine whether one or more tyres have pressure that is too low.

General information on the tyre monitoring system

In the information below, the tyre monitoring system is referred to generically as TPMS.

Each tyre, including the spare tyre, should be checked once a month. When checking, the tyre should be cold and have the air pressure recommended by the car manufacturer specified on the tyre pressure label or in the tyre pressure table. If the car has tyres of a different size than that recommended by the manufacturer, find out what the correct air pressure level is for these.

As an extra safety feature, the car is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS),

which shows when the air pressure in one or more tyres is too low. When the indicator symbol for low air pressure is lit, stop and check the tyres as soon as possible and inflate to the correct air pressure.

Driving with tyres that have tyre pressure that is too low may cause the tyre to overheat, which can cause a tyre failure. Low tyre pressure also reduces fuel efficiency as well as tyre service life, and can affect car handling and stopping ability. Note that TPMS does not replace regular tyre maintenance. It is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if the limit for low tyre pressure has not been reached so that the indicator symbol illuminates.

The car is also equipped with a TPMS system fault indicator, which indicates when the system is not functioning correctly. The TPMS system fault indicator is combined with the indicator symbol for low tyre pressure. When the system detects a fault, the symbol in the driver display will flash for about one minute and then remain illuminated. This procedure will be repeated when the car is started until the fault has been rectified. When the symbol is illuminated, the system's ability to detect or warn of low tyre pressure may be affected.

A TPMS system fault can occur for several reasons, such as after changing to a spare tyre, or changing tyres or wheels that prevent TPMS from functioning correctly.

Always check the indicator symbol for TPMS after changing one or more tyres in order to ensure the new tyre or wheel is working correctly with TPMS.

  • If you change to tyres of a different size to the ones fitted at the factory, the system must be reset by storing a new tyre pressure for these tyres to avoid false warnings.
  • If a spare wheel is used, it is possible that the tyre pressure monitoring system does not work correctly due to the differences between the wheels.
  • The system does not replace the need for regular tyre inspection and maintenance.
  • It is not possible to switch off the tyre pressure monitoring system.

WARNING

  • Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to tyre failure, which could result in the driver losing control of the car.
  • The system cannot indicate sudden tyre damage in advance.

To bear in mind

- Always save a new tyre pressure in the system after changing a wheel or adjusting tyre pressure.

Saving new reference value for tyre pressure monitoring

In order for the system for tyre pressure monitoring ^164 to work correctly, a reference value for the tyre pressure must be saved. This must take place every time the tyres are changed or the tyre pressure is changed so that the system can warn about low pressure correctly.

For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speed above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressure should be adjusted in accordance with Polestar's recommended tyre pressure values. The system is then reset by saving a new tyre pressure.

Perform the following procedure to store a new tyre pressure as a reference value in the system:

  1. Switch off the car.
  2. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure, see the decal on the door pillar on the driver's side showing the recommended pressure for factory fitted tyres.
  3. Start the car.
  4. Tap on-in the centre display.
  5. Press More.
  6. Press Car status.
  7. Press Store pressure.

7. Follow the instructions on how to jack up the car safely.
8. Raise the car high enough to allow the wheel to be removed to move freely. Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.

Fitting wheels

The car needs to be raised high enough so that the wheel to be loosened can roll freely.

  1. Clean the surfaces between wheel and hub.

  2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts thoroughly.
    Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel bolts.

  3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate.
  4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is important that the wheel bolts are tightened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 foot-pound). Check the tightening torque with a torque wrench.

WARNING

  • If a wheel must be changed in a trafficked environment, passengers must stand in a safe place.
  • Use a jack designed for the car when changing wheels. Use supports to secure the car for all other work.
  • Never crawl under the car or reach under with a part of your body when it is raised on a jack.
  • Passengers must leave the car when it is raised on the jack.
  • The wheel bolts may need to be re-tightened several days after the change. Temperature differences and vibration may mean that they are not attached equally as tightly.

IMPORTANT

  • When the jack is not in use, it must be stored in its place in the foam block in the front cargo area.
  • The jack included with the car is only designed for occasional, short-term use, such as when changing a wheel after a puncture. Only the jack belonging to the specific model is to be used to jack up the car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or for a longer time than is required just to change a wheel, use of a garage jack is recommended. In this instance, follow the instructions for use that come with the equipment.

NOTE

• After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
- Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust caps can rust and become difficult to unscrew.

Wheel bolts

IMPORTANT

The jack included with the car is only designed for occasional, short-term use, such as when changing a wheel after a puncture. Only the jack belonging to the specific model is to be used to jack up the car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or for a longer time than is required just to change a wheel, use of a garage jack is recommended. In this instance, follow the instructions for use that come with the equipment.

Wheel bolts are used to attach the wheels to the hubs.

Only use rims that are tested and approved by Polestar and which are Polestar genuine accessories.

Check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts with a torque wrench.

Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel bolts.

Locking wheel bolts

To loosen or tighten the lockable wheel bolts – turn the wrench in the lock bolt until it fully engages in the code grooves. Always start with the lockable wheel bolts if the wheel shall be removed. When fitting the wheel, finish with the lock screw.

When the wheel wrench is not in use, it must be stored in its place in the storage compartment under the bonnet. It is important to remember this if the car is due to visit a workshop in order to have the tool available. If you lose the wrench, contact Polestar Support.

- Changing wheels (p. 464)

WARNING

The wheel bolts may need to be re-tightened several days after the change. Temperature differences and vibration may mean that they are not attached equally as tightly.

Winter tyres

IMPORTANT

  • The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. (103 foot-pound). Overtightening or loose tightening may damage the nuts and the bolts.
  • Remember not to use bending force when you loosen/tighten the wheel bolts. This could damage the code groove in the lock bolt and the wheel wrench and so make it impossible to fit/remove the wheel.

Winter tyres are adapted for winter road conditions.

Polestar recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.

Contact Polestar Support for advice on the most suitable rims and tyre types to use.

Tips for changing to winter tyres

When summer and winter wheels are changed, mark which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.

Studded tyres

Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km (300-600 miles), so the studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer service life.

Tread depth

Road conditions with ice, slush and low temperatures place considerably higher demands on tyres than summer conditions. Polestar therefore recommends not to drive on winter tyres that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inches).

NOTE

Legal regulations for the use of studded tyres may vary. Always comply with local regulations and laws.

Use of snow chains and/or winter tyres can help to improve the traction in winter conditions.

Polestar recommends that snow chains are not used on wheel dimensions greater than 20 inches.

Snow chains must only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).

You can get more information on snow chains from Polestar Support.

• Winter driving (p. 395)
- Polestar Support (p. 9)

WARNING

Use Polestar genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow chains are permitted.

If you are not sure about the snow chains – contact Polestar Support. The wrong snow chains may cause serious damage to the car and lead to an accident.

Punctures

IMPORTANT

Snow chains can be used on the car with the following restrictions:

• Always follow the mounting instructions from the manufacturer carefully. Fit the chains as tensioned as possible and tension them at regular intervals.
- In some cases, snow chains must NOT be used, such as if accessory, aftermarket or "special" tyres and wheels are fitted that have a different size to the original tyres and wheels. Sufficient distance must be maintained between the chains and brakes, suspension and body components.
- Check local regulations with regard to using snow chains before fitting them.
- Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed. You must never exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) under any circumstances.
- Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains.
- Avoid driving on bare ground as this wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
- Driving with snow chains may have a negative effect on the car's driving characteristics. Avoid fast or sharp turns, as well as braking with locked wheels.
- Some types of chain that are firmly tensioned affect brake components and must therefore NOT be used.

Activate the hazard warning flashers if the car has a puncture in a trafficked environment.

Think about safety. If possible, move the car out of danger from traffic. Call roadside assistance if necessary.

If possible, exit the car from the side with least traffic.

Put on a reflective vest and then position the warning triangle so that other road users are warned in good time.

Dealing with a puncture

The car is equipped with an emergency puncture repair kit ^68 for temporary tyre repair, read the instructions prior to use.

1. Preparations

Set up the warning triangle and activate the hazard warning lights if a tyre is being sealed in a trafficked location.

If the puncture was caused by a nail or similar, allow this to remain in the tyre. It helps to seal the hole.

  1. Detach the decal for maximum permitted speed that is affixed on one side of the compressor. Affix it visibly on the windscreen as a reminder to observe the speed limit. You should not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used.
  2. Check that the switch is in position 0 (Off), and locate the electrical cable and the air hose.
  3. Unscrew the orange-coloured cap from the compressor, and unscrew the cork from the sealing fluid bottle.

  4. Screw in the bottle to the bottom of the bottle holder.

The bottle and the bottle holder are equipped with a reverse catch to prevent sealant leakage. When the bottle is screwed in it cannot be unscrewed from the bottle holder again. The bottle has to be removed at a workshop – contact Polestar Support.

  1. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap and screw in the air hose's valve connection to the bottom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.

Check that the pressure reducing valve on the air hose is fully screwed in.

  1. Commence tyre sealing

Connect the electrical cable to the closest 12 V socket and start the car. Make sure that none of the other 12 V sockets is being used when the compressor is operating.

  1. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to position I (On).

When the compressor starts, the pressure may increase to 6 bar (88 psi) but then fall again after approx. 30 seconds.

  1. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.

  2. Switch off the compressor to check the pressure on the pressure gauge. Minimum pressure is 1.8 bar (22 psi) and maximum is 3.5 bar (51 psi). Release air using the pressure reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.

  3. Switch off the compressor and detach the electrical cable.

  4. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre valve and refit the dust cap on the tyre.

  5. Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing fluid. Place the equipment in the cargo area.

  6. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km (2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) so that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre, and then perform a follow-up check.

  7. Follow-up inspection

Connect the air hose on the tyre valve and screw in the valve connection to the bottom of the tyre valve's thread. The compressor must be switched off.

  1. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure gauge.

- If it is below 1.3 bar (19 psi) then the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The journey should not be continued. Call roadside assistance for recovery.

- If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar (19 psi), the tyre must be inflated to the pressure specified in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5 psi). Release air using the pressure reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.

Polestar recommends that the car is driven to the nearest workshop ^71 for replacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise the workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.

The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be replaced after use – contact Polestar Support.

- Please keep the following points in mind when using the tyre sealing system:

  • The sealing fluid bottle contains 1) rubber latex, natural and 2) ethane-diol. These substances are harmful if swallowed.
  • The contents of this bottle may cause allergic skin reactions or otherwise be potentially harmful to the respiratory tract, the skin, the central nervous system, and the eyes.

Precautions:

  • Store out of the reach of children.
  • Harmful if ingested.
  • Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. If sealing fluid has come into contact with your clothes, remove them.
  • Wash thoroughly after handling.

First aid:

  • Skin: Wash affected areas of skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
  • Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
    • Inhalation: Move the exposed person to fresh air. If irritation persists, get medical attention.

WARNING

  • Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention.
  • Disposal: Dispose of this material and its container at a hazardous or special waste collection point.

- Do not remove the bottle or air hose when the puncture repair kit is being used.

- Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

- Do not leave children in the car without supervision when the engine is running.

- Never stand next to the tyre when the compressor is running. If cracks or unevenness arise then the compressor must be switched off immediately. The journey should not be continued. Call roadside assistance for recovery to a tyre centre. Contacting Polestar Support is recommended.

- If the pressure is below 1.8 bar (22 psi) then the hole in the tyre is too big. The journey should not be continued. Call roadside assistance for recovery to a tyre centre. Contacting Polestar Support is recommended.

- Sealant will spurt out of the puncture during the first few rotations of the tyre. Make sure that nobody is standing near the car and gets the sealing fluid splashed onto them when the car is driven away. The distance should be at least 2 metres (7 feet).

WARNING

  • Check the tyre pressure regularly.
    • Maximum mileage with tyres containing sealing fluid is 200 km (120 miles).

IMPORTANT

The compressor must not be operated for longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheating.

NOTE

  • Do not break the bottle's seal before use. The seal is broken automatically when the bottle is screwed in.
    • After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
  • Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust caps can rust and become difficult to unscrew.
  • The compressor is an electrical device. Follow local regulations related to waste management.

Inflating tyres with compressor from the puncture repair kit

Luggage compartment and cargo area

Recommendations for loading

The car has a flexible cargo area that makes it possible to transport and secure large objects. There is also a front luggage compartment under the bonnet.

Cargo area

Folding down the backrests in the rear seat can make the cargo area very spacious. Use load retaining eyelets or bag holders to hold the load securely in place. The parcel shelf can be removed in order to provide space for bulky loads. There is an extra storage space under the cargo area floor.

Front cargo area

There is additional storage space under the bonnet. The car's warning triangle, tool kit, towing eye and emergency puncture repair kit are also stored in the cargo area.

  • Recommendations for loading (p. 487)
  • Load retaining eyelets (p. 490)
  • Opening and closing the bonnet (p. 501)
  • Closing and locking the tailgate with the button (p. 201)
  • Folding the backrest in the rear seat (p. 167)

There are a number of things that are important to bear in mind when loading the car.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers and all accessories reduces the car's payload by a corresponding weight.

Loading the cargo area

Good things to remember when loading:

  • Position the load firmly against the rear seat's backrest.
  • Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on lowered backrests.
  • Cover sharp edges with something soft to avoid damaging the upholstery.
  • Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets with straps or web lashings.

Extending the cargo area

The rear seat backrests can be folded down to extend the cargo area and simplify loading. Note that no objects should impede the function for the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) in the front seats if any of the rear seat backrests are folded down.

A through-load hatch in the rear seat can be folded down when transporting long and narrow loads.

Roof load and loading on load holder

WARNING

  • The car's driving properties change depending on the weight and positioning of the load.
  • A loose object weighing 20 kg (44 pounds) can, in a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) carry the impact of an item weighing 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
  • Leave 10 cm (4 inches) space between the load and the side windows if the car is loaded to above the top edge of the door windows. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.
    • Always secure the load. Always secure the load. During heavy braking the load may otherwise shift, causing personal injury to the car's occupants.
    Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with something soft.
    Use the parking brake when loading/unloading long objects.

When loading onto the roof of the car, a load holder recommended by Polestar should be used.

The aim of this is to reduce the risk of damage to the car, and to maintain safety while travelling.

Carefully follow the mounting instruction supplied with the load holder.

  • Distribute the load evenly over the load holders. Place the heaviest load at the bottom.
  • Check regularly to ensure that the load holders and load are secured properly. Lash the load securely using bungees.
  • If the load extends beyond the front of the car – a canoe or kayak, for example – fit the towing eye in its front socket and use that to attach a bungee to.
  • The larger the load, the more the car is exposed to the wind, thereby increasing its energy consumption.
  • Drive gently. Avoid violent acceleration, heavy braking and hard cornering.
  • Recommendations for loading (p. 487)
  • Weights (p. 544)

WARNING

The centre of gravity and driving characteristics of the car change when carrying a load on the roof.

Comply with the car's specifications with regard to weight and maximum permitted load.

Bag hooks

Bag hooks hold bags in position and prevent them tipping up and spreading their contents throughout the cargo area.

Data transfer between car and workshop via Wi-Fi

Contact Polestar Support if servicing or repairs are required.

Polestar will contact you when it is time for servicing, and in some cases when the car needs repairs. It is fine for you to contact Polestar Support yourself, e.g. if a message appears in the driver display or at the top of the centre display. The service date is determined by how much time has passed, hours that the engine has been running, or distance driven since the last service.

Let someone know if there is anything else you would like done during the workshop visit or any other important information to your workshop.

The message indicating that your car needs a service is switched off when a service has been carried out.

  • Messages in the driver display (p. 104)
  • Polestar Support (p. 9)

Some workshops have a specific Wi-Fi network for data transfer between your car and the workshop. Your workshop visit will be simpler and more efficient when the transfer of diagnostic information and software can take place via the workshop's network.

During a workshop visit, your service technician may want to connect your car to the workshop's network via Wi-Fi to perform fault-tracing and software download. For this type of communication, the car only connects to a workshop's network. It is not possible to connect the car to another Wi-Fi network, such as at home, in the same way as to a workshop's network.

Connection with a key

Connection is normally handled by the service technician who then uses the key buttons. That's why it's important to take a key with buttons with you for the workshop visit. Press three times on the lock button on the key to connect the car to the workshop's network via Wi-Fi.

When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the 📞 symbol appears in the centre display.

  1. Position the jack on level, firm and non-slip-pery ground under the jacking point that will be used.

  2. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so that it makes contact with the car's jacking point. Check that the head of the jack (or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly positioned in the jacking point so that the bump in the centre of the head fits into the jacking point hole, and check that the base of the jack is positioned vertically below the jacking point.

  3. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far away from the side of the car as possible, at which point the jack's arms are perpendicular to the direction of the car.
  4. Raise the car to an appropriate height, depending on what is to be done.
  • Jack (p. 467)
  • Changing wheels (p. 464)
  • Tool kit (p. 467)

WARNING

  • Check that the jack is not damaged, that the threads are thoroughly lubricated and that it is free from dirt.
  • Check that the jack is resting on a firm, level surface that is not slippery and is not slanted.
  • Never position anything between the ground and the jack, nor between the jack and the car's jacking point.
    • Passengers must leave the car when it is raised on the jack.
  • If a wheel has to be changed in an environment where there is lots of traffic, for example, passengers must remain in a safe place.
  • Use a jack designed for the car when changing wheels. Use supports to secure the car for all other work.
  • Never crawl under the car or reach under with a part of your body when it is raised on a jack.
  • If the car is raised using a workshop jack, this must be placed beneath one of the four jacking points. Take care to position the workshop jack so that the car cannot slip off. Make sure that the jack plate is fitted with a rubber guard so that the car remains stable and is not damaged. Always use axle stands or similar.

NOTE

Polestar recommends only using the jack that belongs to the car model in question. If a jack is selected other than the one recommended by Polestar, follow the instructions supplied with the equipment.

The normal car jack is only designed for occasional, short-term use, such as when changing a wheel after a puncture. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or for a longer time than is required just to change a wheel, use of a garage jack is recommended. In this instance, follow the instructions for use that come with the equipment.

Polestar's leather upholstery is treated to preserve its original appearance.

Leather upholstery is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Regular cleaning and treatment are required in order that the properties and colours of the leather shall be preserved. Contact Pole-star Support for recommendations for products for cleaning and treating leather upholstery in order to maintain the protective surface of the leather.

Cleaning the leather upholstery

  1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge and squeeze until a foam is created.
  2. Use the sponge on the stain in a circular motion.
  3. Thoroughly dampen the stain using the sponge, allow the sponge to absorb the stain without scrubbing.
  4. Wipe the stain with a soft cloth and allow the leather to dry thoroughly.

Protecting the leather upholstery

  1. Apply a small amount of leather protective agent to a cloth and then apply it to the leather in light circular motions.

  2. Allow to dry for about 20 minutes.

Protecting the leather upholstery makes it more resistant to the stresses from the sun's UV radiation.

Cleaning the exterior

Polishing and waxing

The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This means that the car is easier to clean since the dirt does not attach as firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the car fresh. Carry out cleaning in a cleaning area with an oil separator, and use car shampoo Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection. The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car can be waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax the car in direct sunlight, the surface being polished should be a maximum of 45^ C ( 113^ F).

IMPORTANT

- Never polish or wax the matte emblem on the car. This may destroy the matte effect and leave the surface permanently shiny.

Handwashing

IMPORTANT

- Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.

When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it is necessary. Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.

- Only paint treatment recommended by Polestar should be used. Contact Polestar Support for information. Other treatment such as preserving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing or similar could damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by such treatments is not covered by the Polestar warranty.

The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This means that the car is easier to clean since the dirt does not attach as firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the car fresh. Carry out cleaning in a cleaning area with an oil separator, and use car shampoo.

Important things to remember when washing the car by hand

  • Avoid washing the car in direct sunlight. This can cause the detergent or wax to dry and have an abrasive effect.
  • Remove bird droppings from the paintwork as soon as possible. They contain substances that damage and discolour paintwork very quickly. For example, use soft paper or sponge soaked in plenty of water. Contact Polestar Support for information on how to remove any stains.
  • Wash the underbody, including wheel housings and bumpers.
  • Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirt has been removed so as to reduce the risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray directly onto the locks.
  • If necessary, use cold degreasing agent on very dirty surfaces. Note that in this case, the surfaces must not be hot from the sun.
  • Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and plenty of lukewarm water.
  • Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo.
  • Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or a water scraper. If you avoid allowing drops of water to dry in strong sunlight, you reduce the risk of water drying stains which may need to be polished out.
    • After the car has been washed, tar from asphalt may remain. Use tar remover to get

rid of the last spots after the car has been washed.

NOTE

  • Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is normal, all exterior lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp housing when the lamp has been switched on for a time.
  • Be aware that the keyless locking and unlocking function may cause the car to be locked/unlocked when the car is being washed if the key is within range.

IMPORTANT

• To maintain the matte surface of the emblem, see the separate section.
- Dirty headlamps function less well, so clean them regularly.
Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratching sponge instead.
- Never use polishing agent with abrasive properties on the panoramic roof.
- Never use wax on the rubber mouldings around the panoramic roof.
- Remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and in the sills after washing the car.

Cleaning matte- painted emblems

To care for the matte-painted emblems, they should be washed by hand as soon as they have become dirty. This makes them easier to clean as the dirt does not adhere as much. Contact Polestar Support if you would like recommendations for detergents and car care products.

Hand-washing the matt-painted emblem

  1. Rinse the entire emblem until the dissolved dirt has been removed so as to reduce the risk of scratches from washing. Take extra care when using a high-pressure washer.
  2. Wash the emblem with a microfibre cloth, car shampoo for matt paintwork and plenty of warm water.
  3. Wipe dry with a clean and soft microfibre cloth.

  • Cleaning wheel rims (p. 533)
  • Rustproofing (p. 533)

IMPORTANT

  • Make sure that doors, windows and hatches are closed for high-pressure washing.
  • Never polish a matte-painted emblem. Polishing will lead to the emblem becoming shiny.

IMPORTANT

  • Do not use paint cleaner, grinding agents, polishing products or sheen preservation, e.g. wax for high-gloss paintwork. These products are only intended for glossy surfaces. Shiny spots will appear if they are used on matt paintwork.
  • The best way to remove insects, coffee stains, grease stains, oil and fingerprints is to use a special cleaning agent for matt paintwork. Apply the cleaning agent using a microfibre cloth and a gentle pressure.
  • Remove asphalt stains using a vegetable-based asphalt remover. Proceed with caution and do not tap on too hard on the emblem. Contact Polestar Support for product recommendations.
  • Try not to rub the emblem when washing and drying the car. This may destroy the matte effect of the paintwork and leave the emblem permanently shiny.

Automatic car wash

The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty, the more difficult it will be to get it completely clean and there is a risk of scratching the paintwork.

Washing the car in an automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of getting it clean but it cannot reach everywhere. Polestar recommends washing your car by hand or using an automatic car wash supplemented with washing by hand.

For car washes where the car is pulled forwards with the wheels rolling, the following rules apply:

  1. Before washing the car, make sure that the automatic rain sensor is deactivated, otherwise there is a risk of it starting and potentially damaging the wiper arms.
  2. Make sure that the side mirrors are folded in, any auxiliary lamps are secured and that antennas are folded in or removed, otherwise there is a risk of the automatic car wash damaging these.
  3. Keep hold of the seatbelt throughout the entire car wash
  4. Drive into the automatic car wash.
  5. Switch to gear position N.

The car is ready for the automatic wash.

  • Do not switch off the car via the centre display. The parking brake is activated if the car is switched off.
  • Do not use towing mode during automatic car washing.

NOTE

  • Polestar recommends that the car is not washed in an automatic car wash during the first few months (this is because the paintwork has not fully hardened).
  • Be aware that the keyless locking and unlocking function may cause the car to be locked/unlocked when the car is being washed if the key is within range.

High-pressure washing

Cleaning wiper blades

The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty, then more difficult it will be to get it completely clean and there is a risk of scratching the paintwork. Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator. Use car shampoo.

The car has protection against corrosion.

Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists of metallic protective coatings on the sheet metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimised metal overlap, and shielding plastic components, abrasion protection and supplemental rust inhibitor on exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminium.

Inspection and maintenance

The car's anti-corrosion protection normally requires no maintenance, but a good way to reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep the car clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solutions must be avoided on glossy trim components. Any stone chips should be rectified as soon as they are discovered.

Car paintwork

Touching up minor paintwork damage

The paintwork consists of several layers and is an important part of the car's surface protection and should therefore be checked regularly.

The most common types of paintwork damage are stone chips, scratches, and marks on the edges of wings, doors and bumpers. Damage should be repaired immediately to prevent further impairment of the paintwork.

  • Touching up minor paintwork damage (p. 534)
    • Colour codes (p. 536)

Paint is an important part of the car's surface protection and should therefore be checked regularly. The most common types of paintwork damage are stone chips, scratches, and marks on e.g. the edges of wings, doors and bumpers.

Damage should be repaired immediately to prevent further impairment of the paintwork.

Materials that may be needed

  • Primer – a special adhesive primer in a spray can is available for e.g. plastic-coated bumpers.
  • Basecoat and clearcoat - available in spray cans or as touch-up pens/sticks ^4 .
  • Masking tape.
  • Fine sand paper.

Apply touch-up paint to a damaged area

If the damage has not reached down to the metal, the touch-up paint can be applied directly after the surface has been cleaned.

  1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint.

If the damage is down to the metal, use of a primer is appropriate. In the event of damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive primer should be used to give better results - spray into the lid of the spray can and brush on thinly.

  1. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very fine polishing agent may be carried out locally if required (e.g. if there are any uneven edges). The surface is cleaned thoroughly and left to dry.
  2. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off with a basecoat and clearcoat once the primer has dried.

For scratches, implement the same procedure but mask around the damaged area to protect the undamaged paintwork.

Contact Polestar Support for information on touch-up pens and spray paints for touching up paintwork damage.

• Car paintwork (p. 534)
• Colour codes (p. 536)

NOTE

- When paint is repaired the surface must be clean and dry. The temperature of the surface should be at least 15^ (59°F).

NOTE

- If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains in place, fill in with basecoat and clearcoat as soon as the surface has been cleaned.

In order to change, clean or lift the wiper blades (e.g. for scraping off ice from the windscreen) they must be in service position.

Activating/deactivating service mode

Service mode can be activated/deactivated when the car is stationary and the windscreen wipers are not on. Service mode is activated/deactivated via the centre display:

  1. Tap on in the centre display.
  2. Then tap on More.
  3. Select Mirrors & Wipers and activate/deactivate service mode for the wiper blades.
    The wiper blades also exit the service position if:
    • Windscreen wiping is activated.
    • Windscreen washing is activated.
    • The rain sensor is activated.
    • The car is driven away.

Towing weights and towball loads

WARNING

The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.

NOTE

The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car without extra equipment or accessories. This means that for every accessory added the loading capacity of the car is reduced correspondingly by the weight of the accessory.

Examples of accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels, as well as other accessories such as towbar, load holder, space box, auxiliary lamps, GPS, heater, safety grille, carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc.

Weighing the car is a certain way of ascertaining the kerb weight of your own particular car.

Towing weights and towball loads for driving with a trailer can be viewed in the tables.

The A/C system evaporator must never be repaired or replaced with a previously used evaporator. The new evaporator must be certified and labelled according to SAE J2842.

The car's certified values for range and electricity consumption

Related information

• Servicing the climate control system (p. 501)

WARNING

The air conditioning system contains pressurised refrigerant R1234yf. In accordance with SAE J2845 (Technician Training for Safe Service and Containment of Refrigerants Used in Mobile A/C System), service and repair of the refrigerant system must only be performed by trained and certified technicians in order to ensure the safety of the system.

IMPORTANT

The A/C system's evaporator must never be repaired or replaced with a previously used evaporator. A new evaporator must be certified and labelled in accordance with SAE J2842.

The car's range and electricity consumption are dependent on a number of factors. The ability to achieve a long range and low electricity consumption varies according to the circumstances and conditions under which the car is being driven.

The certified values for the car's range on electric power should not be interpreted as an expected range. The certification values are comparative values that are obtained by means of special drive cycles (see below) and should primarily be used to compare different cars.

The values in the table below are in accordance with WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure), which is an international test method for vehicles equivalent to a passenger car designed for laboratory testing.

Explanation

OrangeCertified value for the car's potential range ("up to") in km. The value should not be interpreted as an expected range, and the range is difficult to achieve during normal driving.
Urban and suburban driving
Average value over all four drive cycle phases (urban, suburban, extra-urban and motorway driving)

High value
OrangeEC
560 47019,3
520 43521,0

The values in the table above for range in electric mode and electricity consumption are based on special drive cycles (see below). The car's weight may increase depending on its equipment level. Together with how heavily the car is loaded, this affects and reduces its range in electric mode and increases electricity consumption. According to WLTP, each car has unique electric range values, depending on how the car is equipped. In many markets, you can find your car's unique electric range values in the car's registration document.

There are a number of reasons as to why the range (mileage) is shorter and electricity consumption is higher than indicated in the table values. Examples of these include:

  • If the car is equipped with extra equipment that affects its weight.
  • Driving style.
  • If the customer chooses wheels other than those mounted as standard on the basic version of the model, this could increase rolling resistance.
  • High speed, which causes increased air resistance.

- Road and traffic conditions, weather and the condition of the car.

WLTP standard

As of 1 September 2018, a new standard was introduced for calculating electric range values in the car. The WLTP standard represents the average driving conditions for everyday driving. In comparison with the previous standard (NEDC), WLTP takes into account more varied traffic situations and speeds, but also equipment and weight classes. Optional equipment that affects electric range values is deactivated during testing, e.g. air conditioning, seat heating, etc. The new standard should provide more realistic figures when it comes to range for electric operation. The values are intended to allow comparison between different cars and not to represent your typical range for electric mode.

Drive cycle profiles

A drive cycle simulates actual average driving of the car. The standard is based on four different drive cycle profiles. The four drive cycle profiles are:

  • Urban driving – slow driving
  • Suburban driving – average driving
  • Extra-urban driving – fast driving
  • Motorway driving – very fast driving.

Every drive cycle is determined by different conditions such as speed, time and mileage, for example.

  • Range for electric operation (p. 392)
    • Economical driving (p. 394)
