Using voice control in the Polestar 1 app
With a virtual assistant such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Siri, you can control some of the functions in the Polestar 1 app by only using your voice. For example, you can ask how much fuel is left or check that the doors are locked.
Voice control with Google Assistant
To use a voice-controlled Polestar Connect function with Google Assistant, initialise the service by saying: "OK Google, I want to talk to the Polestar Connect", and you will then be asked which voice-controlled function you want to use. To shorten the interaction, you can also ask your question directly when you call the Polestar 1 app, e.g. by saying "OK Google, ask Polestar Connect how much petrol I have left" or "OK Google, ask Polestar Connect to switch on the heating in my car".
The Google Assistance service is available in Swedish or English.
