Question 1

How does Polestar Digital Key work?

Accepted Answer

Polestar Digital Key is a smart, convenient replacement for the traditional car key. An encrypted digital key is stored securely in the owner’s phone, which communicates with the car using an encrypted Bluetooth connection. In Polestar 2, the digital key enables many personalised settings for the driver, enables car sharing and allows for connected Polestar services like pick-up and delivery. Polestar 2 is still provided with a standard key fob for peace of mind.

Question 2

Can you equip Polestar 2 with a tow bar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Tow bar will be an option during the final order.

Question 3

Where can I get my Polestar serviced?

Accepted Answer

If your Polestar has to be serviced or repaired, there is an extensive network of authorised service points ready to take care of your car. Contact Polestar support to book an appointment. Please note that Polestar spaces are retail environments and not equipped to perform maintenance. However, staff at Polestar spaces are happy to help you with service bookings.

Question 4

Can I take my car to a Polestar space for service?

Accepted Answer

Our Polestar spaces are purely retail environments and not equipped to perform service or maintenance. However, staff at Polestar spaces are happy to help you book an appointment at a nearby service point.

Question 5

Parking climate and max defroster turns off when I get up from the driver seat to remove ice and snow from the car. How do I turn them on again?

Accepted Answer

Use the climate menu in your Polestar 2 to turn on parking climate and to keep it running while away from the driver seat. This cannot be activated if the car is in active mode. Parking climate can be turned on for 30 minutes at a time. Please note that the max defroster cannot run at the same time as parking climate.

Question 9

Why does the car require all keys to be in the vehicle when pairing and what happens if I do not have all my keys?

Accepted Answer

For security reasons, the car requires all physical keys (the two main keys and the activity key) to be inside the vehicle when pairing the Polestar app for the first time. This is only required when pairing a primary ‘admin’ device to the car and not for any subsequent pairings. If you do not have all keys in the vehicle, the car will display a notification and the pairing process will not be completed.

Question 10

My iPhone 12 does not charge in my Polestar 2. Why is that?

Accepted Answer

We are aware of this issue and can confirm that a safety function in the wireless charging pad reacts to the magnetic charging component in the iPhone 12, and this prevents charging. We’re preparing a solution and will roll this out as a software update as soon as it’s ready.

Question 11

How can I remotely start the heating in the car?

Accepted Answer

Remote climate control will be available in the Polestar App early 2021. However, by the end of 2020 you will be able to programme the heating timer (setting the heater in your car according to a schedule) from inside the car itself. This functionality will be made available at your next workshop visit or via a future Over-The-Air update. The new software was released towards end of November.

Question 12

My car is charging to 100% even though I set the limit to 80% or another level. Why does that happen?

Accepted Answer

We are aware that this is happening with a few of our cars. This will not affect your warranty. We are working on a future software update which will solve the problem.

Question 13

Is it possible to set a charging schedule for the car?

Accepted Answer

This functionality will be available in the Polestar App mid 2021. If you have a smart wallbox, this may allow for scheduled charging.
