Remote starting the heater using the Polestar 1 app
The heater can be started remotely using the Polestar 1 app so that the car is heated at a selected time.
When the heater is started remotely, the car's parking heater is used to heat the car. You can either choose to specify when you want to leave so that the heater is started automatically depending on the outside temperature at the car, or you can choose to start the heater straight away. If the heater is not allowed to start (e.g. in the event of low fuel level), this will be indicated in the Polestar 1 app.
Criteria for remote heater start
The heater starts only if the following criteria are met:
- The outdoor temperature in the car's location is below 15 °C.
- The car has sufficient fuel.
- The car has sufficient battery charge.
- The car has mobile coverage (i.e. that it can receive the heater's start command).
Direct heater start and stop
Go to the Home tab.
Select Parking heater.
From here you can choose to start and stop the heater.
If starting directly, the heater operates for approx. 50 min or until it is switched off.
Program heater
You can pre-program the heater to start at eight different set times:
Go to the Home tab.
Select Parking heater.
Set Timer to the times when you want the car to be warmed up.
Based on the outside temperature, the car will calculate when the heater needs to be switched on for the car to be warmed up at the selected time.
Using direct heater start/direct heater stop you can cancel ongoing pre-programmed starts.
