Safety

Get to know your car's collision-protection features and what's required for safe use of the car.

The safety section describes features designed to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision. The safety features include seatbelts, airbags, child restraints and other components or functions that can help save lives when used correctly.

Your car is designed to promote and provide the conditions for safe use. Safety features never replace the need for safe user practice. This not only applies to features directly related to safety, but also to the rest of your car. It's your responsibility to use the car's functions safely.

 Warning

Safety synergy

The safety features are designed to work together to increase the safety of all occupants in the car. No feature replaces the need for another unless the manual explicitly states so. For example, the presence of airbags in no way reduces the need to wear a seatbelt.

SRS warning

Sensors in the car can detect if there is something wrong with the airbags or related safety systems. A red warning symbol will appear in the driver display to alert you if any faults are found.

If the red SRS warning symbol appears in the driver display, immediately contact Polestar Customer Support.

 Note

Start-up checks

Several safety systems are part of the car's start-up check. During the check, the yellow SRS symbol may appear in the driver display. This is completely normal and means that the safety systems are starting up and checking for potential issues. Make sure you address any indicated faults.

Safety-related areas

Some driver support functions are related to safety. Instead of keeping you safe in the event of an accident, they are designed to prevent them in the first place. Get to know these functions as well for a safer trip.
