Unlocking from a distance

Your vehicle can unlock automatically when you approach it with a recognized distance-capable key. You can enable or disable this behavior in settings.

Using the driver's door handle

If you want to lock or unlock your vehicle manually while still using a distance-capable key, you can use the touch points on the door handles.

To lock or unlock the vehicle, place a finger on the small indentation.

Using the key reader

You can use any of your keys to lock or unlock the vehicle by putting the key on the NFC1 reader in the door pillar.

Make sure the card or device is laid flat against the reader. If you're using a key fob, the Polestar logo should be facing towards you.

Button panels

Direct controls for the door locks are located on the button panels on the inside of the front doors. The lock and unlock symbols are visible on the buttons.

Emergency unlock

In the event of a collision, the vehicle will automatically unlock. If the damage to the vehicle is minor, the vehicle can be locked again. With significant damage to the vehicle, you will not be able to lock the vehicle again. In that case, the locking function can only be restored by Polestar technicians.

Child lock

The child lock can increase passenger safety in the rear seats. When the child lock is active, the passengers in the rear seats are unable to open the rear doors. You can read about how to activate the child lock in a separate section of the manual.
