Safety

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

The vehicle is equipped with a number of sensors that may react in the event of an accident and activate different safety systems, such as the airbag system and seat belt tensioners. Depending on the specific conditions of the accident, e.g. collisions at certain angles, overturning or swerving, the systems react differently to help provide good protection.

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

After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode may be activated if any important function in the vehicle has been damaged.

The warning symbol is illuminated in the instrument panel when the vehicle is switched on. The symbol will go out again after about 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the vehicle's safety systems.

 Warning

If the warning symbol remains illuminated or switches on while driving and the message Drive to workshop SRS airbag Service urgent is displayed in the instrument panel, this indicates that something in the safety system is not functioning properly. Contact Polestar Customer Support.

 Warning

Never attempt to alter or repair any of the vehicle's safety systems yourself. Incorrectly performed repairs to any system could impair function and lead to serious injury. Contact Polestar Customer Support.
